Rossini are the world leaders and pioneers for Rubber Rollers, Sleeves, and Mandrels for the printing and flexible packaging converting industry. Rossini Spa of Italy headquartered in Milan established in 1928 and having grown over the years due to innovation and quality today have factories in L'Aquila(Italy), Atlanta(USA), Barcelona(Spain), Sao Paulo(Brazil) and a new factory inTimisoara (Romania) .They also have sales offices in Shenzen(China), UK, France, Germany thus offering support to customers worldwide.
Rossini are the original suppliers to leading CI Flexo machine manufacturers like F&K (Bobst Group), W&H, Uteco, Flexotecnica, Comexi etc. including Indian manufactures such as Uflex Engineering, Manugraph India Ltd, EChaar, Equipment's Pvt Ltd, Perfect Printgraph Engineers LLP, Polygraph Printing technologies ltd etc. With the growing demand for flexo Rossini are constantly innovating new products. During Drupa 08 Rossini launched the new Click Clack with special protection ring with register slot instead of the conventional metal slot on their newly developed Starcoat sleeves for wide web flexo presses. The Starcoat sleeves ensures very high mechanical strength and dimensional stability and comes with a 3year guarantee from Rossini.
Rossini has recently introduced the new High Modulus Carrier without core compressible layer that provides the ability to print at the highest quality at over 700m/min engineered and proven to dampen harmonic resonance and reduce dynamic print-deck vibration. The carrier sleeve is air-mounted resulting in significantly easier on press use by operator, and improved safety.
Photoflex Sleeve

Flexo Wash was founded in 1990 by an inventive Danish label printer who faced the increased requirements for improved print quality as well as a safe and efficient production.Flexo-Wash has been in this line for over 2 decades with its HQ in Denmark and offices in U.K, France, USA, and Malasyia. Through constant Innovation and development today Flexo Wash is the world's leader in flexographic and convertor cleaning equipments. Flexo-Wash has been re-defining Annilox Roll cleaning and Flexo Plate cleaning from day one using eco-friendly cleaning liquids which are re-circulated in all FlexoWash units.It is the only system that offer's Cleaning, Rinsing and Drying in one machine. FlexoWash offers complete automatic system thus avoids the risk of damage to the rolls and plate due to manual handling. Traditional methods of cleaning by pads, abrasive cleaners and brushes are loosing their effectiveness in deep or small cells as they are unable to penetrate the cell depth effectively Today everyone knows that the aniloxes/Plates need to be clean to get an optimal printing quality. Properly cleaned anilox rolls/ Plates also reduce set up time, reduce press downtime, minimize waste of ink and substrate, improve productivity and increases the roll / plates life. Many a times a printer is not able to obtain the same desired result for a repeat job this may happen due to improper cleaning of anilox/platesof which he Is not sure of. Therefore a proper and efficient cleaning of anilox rolls/Plates is must . Because of the finer lines it is also a must to find a safe, gentle and automatic cleaning method, that will cause no wear or tear on the delicate aniloxes/ plates. With the growing needs of cleaning press parts FlexoWash have introduced various models depending upon customer requirement to clean from 1 to 4 sets of press parts in a single wash. The parts washer offered can clean the parts with eco friendly liquids as well as solvents depnding upon the customer requirement.
