Consistent coating depends on the anilox roll transferring the correct amount of coating on every sheet. When engraved cells become plugged, contaminated, or worn, that transfer becomes less predictable. Operators may begin increasing coating flow, adjusting press settings, or slowing production to compensate. These changes may temporarily improve the finished sheet, but they do not address the underlying problem. Over time, the result can be higher coating consumption, incon

Most coating system issues begin as small performance inconsistencies caused by gradual wear, coating buildup, aging components, or neglected maintenance that slowly impact overall system reliability over time. Operators may spend more time troubleshooting while coating quality becomes less predictable. In many cases, these issues continue growing because the system is not being evaluated by the people who understand it best. Harris & Bruno technicians know the equipment insi

A leaking coating chamber can quickly turn a routine production run into a costly cleanup. Coating dripping onto the press, inconsistent application, excessive consumption, and unexpected downtime are all signs that the chamber is no longer sealing or operating as intended. While the leak itself may appear to be the problem, it is usually a symptom of another issue within the chamber, blade, seal, or coating delivery system. Understanding where leaks begin can help operators
