Acme Rolltech, India’s first indigenous anilox roll manufacturing company, has installed its first direct laser engraving machine for producing anilox cylinders and sleeves. According to the company, it opted for the ALE Hercules system due to its pixel precise, laser engraving technology, which makes it the connoisseur’s supplier of choice for anilox.

Parag Patel, managing director of Acme Rolltech, said, “To start the first indigenous anilox manufacturing company in India, we wanted to go for the best equipment in the global market to meet its standards, after considering many direct laser engraving machines, we realized one simple thing, that 90 to 95% anilox manufacturers in the world use ALE engravers. This says a lot about ALE’s expertise for making engravers for producing anilox cylinders. After taking tests of a range of screens and seeing the engraving process and the capabilities of the machine, we finalized our order for the 4.5-meter Hercules laser engraving system knowing that we cannot go wrong with this choice.”

Patel added, “ALE has been exceptional in its service. The machine is a wonder to work with. We have engraved various cell shapes, and LPI’s over a range of finer and coarser screens, and we are successfully supplying these rollers for various applications in the industry. The way we are growing and reaching to different sectors in the market, we could be bold and say that we will bee soon installing another engraving machine from ALE.”
