Innovative concept
Stop production losses
In the printing industry, regularly testing the volume of your anilox roll is crucial for preventing production losses. Wear, 'doctoring', improper cleaning or manufacturers' faults can cause incorrect volumes. Don't assume that your roll has the correct volume.
Use Capatch to:
- Test the volume of your anilox roll
- Reduce production stops to five minutes or less
- Prevent scrap production
- Provide a verification of the volume of an anilox roll after cleaning or maintenance.
How it works
Capatch is a one-time-use tool that works by contact with the anilox roll as a kind of sticker. A calibrated volume of indicator fluid contained within a capsule on the sticker is forced across the anilox roll under the Capatch sticker by running across the surface with a blade, known as the doctor blade. The blob of indicator fluid is forced out of the capsule and is pushed into the open cells of the anilox roll by the doctor blade.The liquid blob first fills the cells nearest the capsule, decreasing in volume as it is pushed forward, until the entire volume of the blob has gone into the cells. The length of the liquid track is inversely proportional to the current volume of the open cells of the anilox roll.
