CAPATCH
The Purpose of Capatch
The Capatch is a "cell pollution trend watcher" and a quick method for measuring volumes of Anilox and Gravure full coating rolls in printing presses. The Capatch has a tolerance of plus or minus 10 percent. Although it might have a similar tolerance to other measurement instruments such as Wyco, Urmi, Ravol and Volugraph, it is not meant to replace them. These methods take 10 to 15 minutes, or longer, to carry out. The Capatch is an additional tool for use in the printing press and gives a rapid reading but with a slightly larger tolerance. It takes no more than two minutes to apply the Capatch correctly.
Stop Production Losses
In the printing industry, regularly testing the volume of your anilox or full coating gravure roll is crucial for preventing production losses. Wear, "doctoring", improper cleaning can cause incorrect volumes. Don't assume that your roll has the correct cell volume. Use Capatch to:
- Obtain an indication of the volume of your roll
- Reduce production stops to five minutes or less
- Prevent scrap production
- Provide a verification of the volume of a roll after cleaning or maintenance
Application frequency
This depends on the type of production: frequent changes of production and colors increase the likelihood that the cells will become plugged. Some printers check their rolls with Capatch every two weeks. On each roll they use at least two Capatch strips. In case of a large difference between the two results, they use a third Capatch strip for confirmation.
CAPATCH sizes
- low volume 1.25 to 5 BCM (green - orange strip)
- medium volume 3 to 15 BCM (blue - orange strip)
- medium volume 3 to 15 BCM (light blue - orange strip)
- high volume 10 to 50 BCM (red - orange strip)
- tri-helical volume 2 to 50 BCM (brown - orange strip)
