End Seals of Highest Quality with Performance Guarantees

End Seals

High quality, accurate, and consistent end seals are critical to minimize ink leaking, optimize blade life, and achieve smooth ink lay-down. Our end seals are made with the highest quality materials, produced on state of the art equipment by specialists with the technical expertise to insure reliable, customized results for each unique situation.

All of APR's end seal products come with a performance guarantee. Custom design enhancements for end seals to fit specific ink chamber systems come at no extra cost.

The Right Solutions to Your End Seal Related Problems

A number of problems and associated costs can occur from end seal leaking on flexo presses or coaters. These can include ink waste, downtime for changeovers, reduced doctor blade life, scored anilox rolls, and high flexo end seal replacement costs. Whether you have an older flexo press or a brand new one, chamber leaks cause frustration and reduce press efficiency. The right end seal material, the right fit, the right best practices, and the right housekeeping can greatly minimize press downtime and lower total costs.

The Right Materials

APR offers multiple types of foam, rubber, felt, plastic and composite materials in various thicknesses, densities and colors, to provide the broadest range of products available. Our end seals are customized to meet specific customer requirements. We have many success stories of finding a better sealing material or more cost effective solution, with similar sealing results, than some of the O.E.M. end seals such as molded rubber items.

The Right Seal Designs

We have found that end seal failures often are caused by inaccurate designs. Corrections can be achieved by slightly modifying the size of the end seal, the radius and/or changing the end seal bevels so that the doctor blades change their level of contact to the anilox rolls. APR has developed a unique methodology to make sure that the end seals we produce are the right fit for their specific application.
