Customized Ultrasonic Cleaning: 40Hz vs 80Hz for Anilox Rollers

“Why are my rollers still not clean after using an ultrasonic

cleaner?”

“Why does the ceramic coating seem damaged after cleaning?”

The reason is that a machine with a standard, fixed frequency

cannot handle every type of roller. The cell size and the type of ink

used dictate the specific ultrasonic frequency required.

What is the real difference between 40 kHz and 80 kHz?

As a professional provider of custom ultrasonic cleaning

solutions, we typically ask clients to send us their rollers—or

provide microscopic images—so we can recommend the optimal

frequency.

40 kHz (The “Heavy-Duty” Powerhouse): Produces larger

cavitation bubbles that generate intense impact upon collapse.

This is designed for severely clogged rollers with larger cell

volumes—ideal for removing thick layers of water-based ink or

varnish residue.

80 kHz (The “Precision” Specialist): Produces tiny, densely

packed cavitation bubbles. While the impact is gentler, the

penetrating power is exceptional. It is specifically designed for

high-precision rollers with fine cells (such as 75-degree orART-style cells), reaching deep into the smallest cavities without

any risk of damaging the ceramic coating.

Our Customization Services

We don’t sell “off-the-shelf” standard machines; we build

custom solutions tailored to your specific workshop requirements:

Frequency Customization: Choose between a single-frequency

setup (40 kHz or 80 kHz) or a dual-frequency system that allows for

switching between the two.

Size Customization: We tailor the tank dimensions and the rotating

support mechanism to fit the length and inner diameter of your

largest rollers.

Process Validation: Send us samples of the residue; we will test

them in our laboratory to ensure that, once cleaned, the cells are

pristine under magnification—with the ceramic coating left

completely intact.Q:Can a single machine switch between 40 kHz and 80 kHz?

A:Yes. We offer dual-frequency customization, allowing you to

handle rollers with varying precision requirements in your

workshop.

Q:Will ultrasonic cleaning damage my rollers?

A:When the correct frequency is chosen—specifically 80 kHz for

high-precision rollers—it not only avoids damage but actually helps

extend the service life of your anilox rollers.

Q:What is the lead time for custom orders?

A:Depending on the specific specifications, delivery can generally

be made within 20–30 business days after the design/plan is

confirmed.
