Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printing machine liquid supply cabinet according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Fountain solution preparation devices for fountain solution offset printing are off EP 0 602 312 A1 and EP 0 711 661 B1. They are mostly as Device cabinet trained.
  • a printing machine cleaning device of this type is from the US 43 44 361 known.
  • the known cleaning device contains one Wash cloth transport device through which a wash cloth from a Clean cloth spindle over a pressing device for pressing a Cloth section against the surface to be cleaned on a dirty cloth spindle is transportable.
  • a water supply system consists of a Variety of nozzles that can be connected to a tap water network and tap water through nozzles onto a section of washcloth between the Clean cloth spindle and the pressure device on the wash cloth side spray on which the pressure device is also located. This is the from the side of the cloth facing away from the surface to be cleaned.
  • the washcloth is on the clean cloth roll in a dry state.
  • the damp soaked with detergent Washing cloth very good grease and color of printing press cylinders, especially from a blanket cylinder of an offset printing machine can remove, but is not suitable for removing paper dust from a blanket cylinder or other cylinders of a printing press or directly from the printing web.
  • the printing web is usually one Paper web, however, can also be made of other material or material mixtures exist, for example recycled paper and recycled plastic or just contain recycled plastic and other additives, or from one Plastic film or the like exist.
  • a wash towel roll in addition to the detergent with water or one Moistening the water solution would make the towel roll very difficult.
  • water stored in the washcloth evaporates much faster as a damp detergent contained in the washcloth, especially if the washcloth is installed in the cleaning device and therefore open but is not used for several hours, days or weeks and in dries up this time.
  • Paper dust is not only on paper webs, but is also from them also transferred to the cylinders of the printing press and can be there Form paper dust crusts, partly mixed with printing inks and Ink oil.
  • the object of the invention is to achieve a structurally simpler one and cheaper way to create an offset press Fountain solution for offset printing and cleaning water feed.
  • the cleaning water supply device with a Dampening unit of the printing press combined to from to get this cleaning water.
  • the printing press cleaning device does not need its own tap water supply from a house pipe system, but receives the cleaning water on short Paths from that near the cleaning device at the printing press standing fountain water treatment device.
