About ARCS

A polaroid of our early days cleaning anilox rolls by hand

Our History

ARCS, a pioneer in anilox roll cleaning for over 35 years, has played a pivotal role in advancing the design and technology of modern roll cleaning systems. To date, we’ve successfully cleaned and rejuvenated over 50,000 rolls. Our dedicated service technicians bring a wealth of experience, with a collective 75+ years of expertise in cleaning printing rolls. Our proprietary deep cleaning approach stands as the gold standard, restoring rolls to a pristine ‘like-new’ condition. Witnessing the remarkable cleaning power of our laser and baking soda systems often elicits a resounding ‘wow’ from first-time clients.

Anilox Roll Cleaning Systems specializes in the meticulous cleaning of a wide range of printing and coating rolls. Our arsenal comprises two cutting-edge cleaning methods: the Eclipse® Laser Cleaning System, boasting our patented circular laser technology, and the Pro-Series Soda Blast system, harnessing specially formulated Baking Soda. These systems are at the forefront of roll cleaning innovation.

RELIABILITY AND SAFETY

Our extensive client base includes many long-standing partners who have relied on our expertise since our inception. We serve a diverse range of companies, spanning from those with a handful of rolls to those with extensive roll inventories. The enduring appeal of our services lies in their efficacy and cost-effectiveness, particularly when compared to the expense of resurfacing or roll replacement. As an approved and certified A-Rated contractor within ISNetworld, ARCS stands as your trusted partner for roll cleaning needs, ensuring the safest and most sustainable practices.

SUSTAINABILITY & GREEN TECH

At ARCS, we’re acutely aware of the growing emphasis on sustainability, and we highly value both our clients’ needs and the preservation of our planet’s resources. To focus on sustainability and green technologies, we introduced laser cleaning—an environmentally conscious technology that operates solely on electricity, eliminating the need for compressed air, water, or additional media.
