Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for transferring liquid media from a first solid to a second solid, which has a surface structure, and an apparatus for carrying out this method.
  • Brushes and paint brushes are usually used to apply liquid media to solids.
  • other roller-shaped bodies are also used to transfer liquid media, in particular printing inks, to the printing rollers, for example so-called rinsing rollers in the gravure printing process.
  • the liquid printing medium usually printing ink
  • the so-called gravure cylinder contains surface structures such as "cups" that are filled with the printing ink in question. If the printing ink is brought to the rotogravure cylinder by the priming roller in the gravure printing process, plush-related rollers or rubberized rollers with a groove profile grinded in the circumferential direction are used for this.
  • the printing ink is drawn into the plush cover and excess ink is then rolled into the wells on the gravure cylinder.
  • the situation is similar with the rubber rollers, which have profiles in the direction of rotation. Ink is transported on the gravure cylinder in the grooves of the profile.
  • the disadvantage is more serious that plush-related rollers slip through the liquid pressure in front of the nip. This does not guarantee an even rinsing.
  • cleaning and re-covering the rollers with plush covers is relatively complex.
  • the groove profile can overlay the printed image so that the groove profile can be reproduced in the printed products.
  • DE 37 06 011 A1 discloses a short inking unit in which the ink to be transferred on a plate cylinder can be controlled in accordance with the respective ink requirement by using an anilox roller with a compressible carrier layer.
  • the deformation of the well depth of the carrier layer causes a change in volume and thus a change in the amount of paint to be transferred.
  • the inking unit is used in the so-called anilox process in flexographic printing or in letterpress printing.
  • GB-PS 729 561 relates to improvements in printing processes by using a roller with a stochastic surface, which is intended to prevent the formation of an over pattern by superimposing two uniform patterns. Rinse rollers for the gravure printing process, however, are not mentioned.
  • the object on which the invention is based is to provide a method and to create a device which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art mentioned at the outset and enables better transfer of a liquid medium from one solid to the other.
  • the method according to the invention for transferring liquid media in a first solid to a second solid advantageously uses the effects that result from the stochastic surface structure of the first solid, which transfers the liquid medium to the second.
  • Sufficient liquid medium is brought to the second solid through the depressions in the surface of the first solid so that the latter is sufficiently wetted with liquid medium. Due to the elastic behavior of the surface of the first solid, the profile of the first solid formed by the depressions is compressed in the gap between the first and second solid. This creates a hydrostatic pressure in this gap, because the washed-on liquid medium is pushed outwards. The hydrostatic pressure pushes the liquid medium into the recesses of the second solid.
  • the prerequisite here is that the total volume of the depressions of the second solid is less than that of the first solid. So much liquid can be transferred that all the wells are filled.
  • liquid media other than printing ink for example liquid adhesives such as contact adhesive or glue
  • liquid adhesives such as contact adhesive or glue
  • the device according to the invention which is particularly suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention, either consists entirely of a flexible but dimensionally stable material or at least consists of a surface layer made of a flexible but dimensionally stable material. This material has depressions in the surface which form an irregular, random (stochastic) pattern and have a roughness depth R z > 20 ⁇ m.
  • the R z value is defined in accordance with DIN 4768.
  • the device according to the invention preferably forms a cylindrical body such as a single-layer or multi-layer roller or sleeve. At least the outermost layer of the cylindrical body is formed from the resilient but dimensionally stable material.
  • elastomeric materials such as poly-urethanes, synthetic and natural-based gums, block copolymers and the like have proven themselves as surface materials.
  • elastomeric materials come into consideration such as polyacrylate rubber (short name according to ASTM D-1418-79 ACM), chloropolyethylene rubber (CM), chlorosulphonyl polyethylene rubber (CSM), ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) , Ethylene-propylene rubber (EPM) and fluorine rubber (FKM).
  • polyacrylate rubber short name according to ASTM D-1418-79 ACM
  • CM chloropolyethylene rubber
  • CSM chlorosulphonyl polyethylene rubber
  • EPDM ethylene propylene diene rubber
  • EPM Ethylene-propylene rubber
  • FKM fluorine rubber
  • rubbers of the so-called M group with saturated carbon main chains those of the so-called O group with oxygen in the main chain, such as epichlorohydrin rubber (CO), epichlorohydrin copolymer rubber (ECO) and propylene oxide copolymer rubber ( GPO); rubbers of the so-called R group which have an unsaturated hydrocarbon chain, such as butadiene rubber (BR), chloroprene rubber (CR), isobutene-isoprene rubber (IIR), bromobutyl rubber (BIIR), chlorobutyl rubber, are also suitable (CIIR), isoprene rubber (IR), nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), natural rubber (NR) and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR).
  • BR butadiene rubber
  • CR chloroprene rubber
  • IIR isobutene-isoprene rubber
  • BIIR bromobutyl rubber
  • chlorobutyl rubber are also suitable (CIIR), is
  • types of rubber of the so-called Q group are considered which have silicone in the main chain. These are fluoro-silicone rubber (FVMQ), methyl-phenyl-silicone rubber (PMQ), methyl-phenyl-vinyl-silicone rubber (PVMQ), methyl-silicone rubber (MQ) and Methyl vinyl silicone rubber (VMQ);
  • FVMQ fluoro-silicone rubber
  • PMQ methyl-phenyl-silicone rubber
  • PVMQ methyl-phenyl-vinyl-silicone rubber
  • MQ methyl-silicone rubber
  • Methyl vinyl silicone rubber VMQ
  • U group of rubbers which have carbon, oxygen and nitrogen in the main chain, come into consideration, such as polyester urethanes (AU) and polyether urethanes (EU).
  • the thickness of this layer is greater than the roughness depth.
  • the surface structures form an irregular random (stochastic) pattern.
  • Surface structures can be distinguished in terms of the size of the depressions and elevations and in terms of their arrangement on the surface. Closed profiles are used when the elevations are not interrupted in the sense of contour lines, whereas open profiles are used when the elevations are fundamentally interrupted by depressions. It has been found that closed profile structures are better suited for the transfer of liquids with a low surface tension, whereas open fine profiles are more favorable for liquids with a higher surface tension. Closed profile structures also build up the pressure for transferring the liquid medium into the second solid better, since the liquid medium cannot easily escape from the grooves. On the other hand, there is a better entrainment effect of the liquid medium with open groove structures.
  • the receptivity of the surface of the device according to the invention with the stochastic surface structure is advantageously approximately twice the volume of the medium ultimately to be transferred.
  • the absorption capacity of the surface is preferably at least 10 ml / m 2.
  • the invention Device covered with an elastic coating (rubber or plastic) that is so thick that the elastic properties of the material, which ensures the flexible evasion of the fabric under pressure from the employment against a harder body, can be used.
  • the surface of the solid body for transfer is structured in such a way that a certain amount of the liquid medium to be transferred can be carried in the depressions of the surface of the solid body.
  • the raised parts in the surface structure of the device according to the invention are preferably dimensioned such that they cannot penetrate into the recesses in the structure of the second solid, for example the gravure cylinder, in order not to squeeze out the cells of the gravure cylinder.
  • the pitch of the device according to the invention and the rotogravure cylinder to each other is chosen so that the elastic surface of the device according to the invention dodges flexibly and the pitch between the device and the gravure cylinder is widened.
  • the medium Due to the evasion of the elastic coating in the contact gap, especially the relatively small raised elements of the surface structure of the device according to the invention, the medium inevitably gets into the depressions of the surface structure of the second solid, for example the gravure cylinder.
  • the entrained liquid medium experiences an increase in the hydrostatic pressure compared to the normal state.
  • the liquid medium to be transferred is forced into the depressions in the surface structure of the second solid, for example the gravure cylinder.
  • the amount of the liquid medium to be transferred can be adjusted by the choice of the surface condition, in particular the absorption capacity of the surface of the device according to the invention.
  • the structure in the surface of the device according to the invention ensures a frictional connection Take away through the second solid, for example the gravure cylinder.
  • Figures 1 to 3 show different surface patterns of the device according to the invention.
  • 1 shows a rough profile with a profile depth of 0.5 to 1.0 mm as a closed stochastic surface pattern.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show open grain patterns as an open stochastic surface structure.
  • the open grain grid shown in FIG. 2 shows a finer structure than that in FIG. 3.
  • the surface structure of the device according to the invention is preferably produced by means of laser-optical processes.
  • a template having a stochastic pattern is transferred to the surface of the device according to the invention by marking with a laser beam.
  • the outer surface can be provided with a stochastic surface in order to then be joined together with other parts to form the device according to the invention.
  • the device according to the invention When the device according to the invention is used in the printing industry, the following criteria have been found to be positive: in the light area, the amount of missing dots that occur is less in comparison to feed rollers with a regular surface structure; the use of the devices according to the invention as wash-on rollers lead to a higher ink density (layer thickness of the ink measured by reflection) of the print, which is up to 20% higher than when used without the wash-on profile according to the invention; the devices according to the invention as pre-wash rollers can be used in printing units with or without electrostatic pressure support. Furthermore, the lower tendency to spray of the spray roller provided with the surface according to the invention and the higher printing speeds that can be achieved thereby have an advantageous effect.
