Cleaner Kit contents and limits
This Cleaner Kit specs page gives the product details needed for floor use and purchasing checks. Review the cleaning application, compatibility and handling points before fitting it into your flexo routine.
This Cleaner Kit specs page sets out the solvent type, pack size, cloth or pad compatibility, and the surfaces it is meant to touch during flexo maintenance. Use it to check whether the kit suits anilox cells, doctor blade chambers, plate mounting tables, or ink trays in your SA packaging operation. Inland dust and coastal moisture can change how often cleaning is needed, so the spec must be read against site conditions.
Check the handling notes before opening the pack beside a running press. The key details here are flash point, dilution instruction if any, and whether the cleaner is intended for dried ink, adhesive residue, or general wash-up. That helps purchasing and production avoid using one kit across jobs it was not specified for.
Checks before press-side use
Confirm the cleaner matches the ink system on site, whether water-based, solvent-based, or UV. Then verify material compatibility with rubber rollers, polymer plates, seals, hoses, and chamber components before adding the kit to routine maintenance. One incorrect cleaner can swell parts, haze covers, or shorten plate life.
Read this spec alongside the equipment note for the station being cleaned, then log the kit code through the contact form if purchasing needs the exact reference. Include the press model, ink type, and the area being cleaned so the Cleaner Kit spec is checked against the right application. For multi-site groups, note whether the stock is for Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town, or another plant.

Site conditions that affect cleaning
Humidity on the coast can slow drying after wash-up and may require extra wipe-down time before restart. On the Highveld, airborne dust can settle quickly on exposed parts after cleaning, especially during plate changes or maintenance stops. Where plants run repeated packaging SKUs, cleaner selection should also match the residue left by the same ink and tape systems used every week.
Load-shedding plans matter when a wash cycle is interrupted midway through a colour station clean. If power is unstable, teams should note safe hold points in the process and keep lids sealed to limit evaporation or contamination. Storage temperature in dispatch and maintenance rooms also affects product consistency, particularly in hot inland summer conditions.

Information to send with queries
When asking about Cleaner Kit specs, provide the press type, ink chemistry, and the exact residue giving trouble. Add photos of the affected component if the issue involves staining, dried build-up, or surface attack after previous cleaning.
Record the batch or item code from the kit whenever the buyer needs supporting paperwork or repeat ordering details. It also helps to note where the cleaner will be used, such as anilox wash-up, plate table cleaning, or chamber end-seal maintenance, so the spec can be matched correctly.
