Manufacturer of Web and Process Roll Cleaning Equipment

  Cleaning head wipes from the left edge of rollers or CI Drum to right edge. Our new oscillating feature scrubs as it moves for a full clean.

  The cleaner moves towards the center of the roller and upon reaching a preset sensor the pad extends wiping the roller from the inside the web to the outside edge of the roller. Once it reaches the edge of the roller it advances cloth and reverses in the opposite direction. The Offset Control function prevents contaminates on the outside edge of the product from being dragged under the web.

  Using the SET - UP on the control panel the operator is able to move the cleaning head to a pre-determined location and then allows the cleaner to wipe a single location with an oscillating motion.

 The distance and speed the head will travel on top of an area is controlled by the operator.

System with not operate unless line is running

  This allows variable parameters to be changed prior to starting a cycle.

  Allows the operator to see the number of cloth advances since the last time the cloth roll was replaced. It also allows the operator to place a value in the Preset Variable for the number of advances before a Cloth Warning Preset alarm occurs. This is will vary depending on the value for the cloth increment set in the Set-Up value for the amount of cloth advance on each cycle.

  The cleaner has reached the minimum cloth limit and must be replaced before the machine will operate. Replace the roll of cloth using the same thread-up as currently installed on the cleaner. If you are not sure how to thread-up cloth see the “Cloth Thread-up Procedure.

  The time the cleaning head will dwell at the edges of the web width settings.

 The variable setting determines how long before the cleaner waits on the far end of the roll before it begins the return cycle.  

  When in Auto cycle it is the amount of time before the next cleaning cycle will be automatically initiated.

  A level switch inside the liquid tank detects when the vessel requires refilling.

 With the only traversing CI Drum Cleaner on the market that offers two cleaning pads for removing ink from the surface of the drum. The R.G. Egan system allows the operator to select our standard pad that gently wipes the drum surface, removing slip and ink build-up, or the second option, to select a soft bristle brush to push the cleaning fabric against the drum surface allowing a more aggressive wipe that helps remove some of the toughest inks dried on the surface of the drum. No one else offers this patented feature. 

With the R.G. Egan design operators have simple options to control our cleaner and determine which set-up is the best choice for your press whether you are printing or down for the next set-up. 

  In November 2013 R.G. Egan Equipment, Inc. received a patent for wiping flexographic printing plates while the press is running, without diminishing print quality.  This design is truly state-of-the-art and moves the industry a step closer to full automation for press cleaning and eliminating the need to stop to manually clean the press. 

Our soft contact pad and fabric is able to collect debris stuck on the plate surface and transfer it to the surface of our fabric without damaging the plate, then advancing the cloth to a fresh area for the next wipe.  And, by locating the cleaner before ink is reapplied to the plate we are able to keep from diminishing the print quality. In some applications the print quality improves due to the removal of dried ink sticking to the plate surface.
