Dust Mitigation in the pro-series

A Cleaner, More Efficient Approach to Anilox Roll Cleaning

Many assume that soda blasting leaves behind a mess, but the ARCS Pro-Series Soda Blast System is designed to operate without generating any fugitive dust. With industry-leading vacuum technology and a precisely engineered cleaning process, our system ensures a controlled, efficient and dust-free cleaning experience.

Integrated High Efficiency Vacuum System

The Dynamic Diamond Dust Collector is installed as part of the system, capturing soda particles at the source.  Multi-stage filtration, including HEPA filters, ensures that fine soda dust does not escape into the surrounding environment.  A high-CFM motor maintain constant suction, keeping the area clear.

Fully Contained Roll Cleaning Process

The ECO-100 Combo Blaster is specifically designed to work with our system, delivering controlled, low-pressure media flow. Soda is fractured upon impact into ultra-fine particles (below 8 microns), allowing it to fully enter anilox cells without any overspray. The automated traversing vacuum head removes soda media as it’s used, preventing accumulation.

No Water, No Chemicals – Just Dry, Clean Air

Unlike alternative roll cleaning methods, our system requires no water or liquid agents, eliminating messy slurries or runoff. The dry soda media is lightweight and easily contained by the vacuum system. No additional clean-up is required—spent soda is collected and contained in a convenient bagging system for easy disposal.

DESIGNED FOR PRECISION & EFFICIENCY

Our traversing vacuum and blast nozzle assembly moves at a controlled, consistent speed, preventing excess media dispersion. The system can be adjusted for different roll sizes, ensuring targeted application without unnecessary spread. Fully mobile and easy to position, allowing for efficient cleaning without contaminating adjacent areas.

The Bottom Line on dust:

The Pro-Series Soda Blast System delivers a fast, effective, and no mess roll cleaning solution. Our advanced dust collection and media containment ensure that your workspace stays clean while maintaining peak anilox performance.

Other Features & ADVANTAGES

Automated

The traversing speed of the hose and vacuum nozzle assembly along the track are automated, remain constant throughout the cleaning process, and can be adjusted for various roll diameters and lengths.

 

deep cleaning

Compressed air applies the baking soda along the face of the roll at low pressure where it instantly fractures into a particle size below 8 microns to the bottom of the cell, ensuring the entire cells gets cleaned out and not just the cell walls.

Off-Press Option

The system is universal and can be used on almost any roll size. This particular system can handle rolls up to 12’ long. Larger rolls can be handled with minor modifications. Mounted on wheels, our light-weight, simple to use system is designed to move with ease in and around your facility.

SUPPORT

Each system purchase include set-up and in-plant training. We also provide new operator training upon request. Our expert techs use this same equipment in the field  & this training will cover operation, maintenance and troubleshooting.

On-Press

For companies with large/jumbo rolls or ones that are very difficult to remove from their press, this is a great option that will save man-hours and downtime. On-press cleaning also reduces the risk of roll damage occurring. Most plants we work with have horror stories about damaged rolls due to mishandling.

Our on-press system is universal and can be used on almost any size roll in any type of press. The equipment is highly portable and designed to be move easily throughout your plant.

OFF-Press

An off-press option is also available for clients using sleeves or want to have a dedicated, central spot for roll cleaning.  The off-press system utilizes a heavy-duty roll cart that continuously spins the rolls as it is being cleaning.  

Our roll carts come in a variety of different lengths depending on your needs.  Normally, clients choose our 6′, 8′ or 9′ long carts.  These carts have various weight ratings and can handle rolls up to 2,000 pounds!
