Areas of application of the printing cylinder

Printing cylinders are available in different designs and for different areas of application. The standard printing cylinder is mainly found in flexographic, offset and letterpress printing machines. Here, the high-quality printing cylinders ensure perfect printing results thanks to hardened or ground gears. Depending on the machine type, the printing cylinders are also made from raw material in order to reduce weight. No matter which industry and which area of application: At Zecher you will find the right type of printing cylinder!

Printing cylinder customization options:

Made of aluminum or steel

Additional hard anodized coating as wear protection

Hardened, ground or standard gears

Printing cylinders made from raw material with inserted end faces for weight reduction

Optional hard anodized coating as wear protection

Our printing cylinders are available as standard printing cylinders or with an additional aluminum coating. For the roller coating, we use an electrolytic oxidation of aluminum materials to create a protective layer on the surface of the printing cylinder. The hard anodized coating serves as protection against wear and corrosion and also improves the sliding properties and service life of the printing cylinder. In addition, we offer you many options for customization.

Printing cylinder manufacturer: Trust in experience

As a manufacturer of chrome anilox rollers, ceramic anilox rollers, anilox roller accessories and printing cylinders as well as a service provider in the areas of anilox roller inspection, roller cleaning and roller coating and finishing we have been around since 1948. The beginnings of Zecher GmbH started with the founder Kurt Zecher, who worked on the treatment of surfaces in a workshop.

Today, 73 years later, the workshop has become an international anilox roller manufacturer with four production plants and more than 170 employees. We would not have been able to do this without our high quality standards and continuous further development. We would be delighted if you also trust our expertise as a long-term sales partner and over 70 years of experience in the manufacture of printing cylinders!
