Rotogravure cylinders have a short life

 

September 30, 2009

hi, I work in a rotogravure printing company, what I want to know is if someone can say us how much does a rotogravure cylinder have to run, ans tell me which can be the factors why our cylinders only run around the 50,000 mts and then the cylinders have to be made new, I read that it was suposed to run over a 1,000,000 mts and our cylinders have not been doing that.

Please tell us more about your specific situation. What are your cylinders made of and if the base material is coated with some hard coating like chrome, also what do you think is the wear mechanism, abrasion? corrosion?
