Definitions

  • the invention relates to a filter device for the fountain solution circulation of an offset printing press.
  • Dampening agents are used in offset printing to moisten those parts of the surfaces of the printing plates where inking is to be prevented.
  • Moisturizers usually consist of water with a number of additives for adjusting the surface tension, the PH value, the corrosion behavior, etc. An important component is usually alcohol. Other additives are used to determine the pH value for controlling algae, fungi, bacteria, preventing corrosion, etc.
  • Fountain solutions of this type usually pass through a circuit with a dampening solution container, a supply line, a system for moistening the printing cylinder of the machine, a return for excess dampening solution and at least one filter device in the return region (such as in US-A-5,622,620 ).
  • the dampening solution is more or less freed of impurities, in particular of air dust, paper dust and ink particles. Because a thorough filtration of the dampening solution offers the opportunity to use it repeatedly in the circulation and thus to reduce the costs for the production of new dampening solution and the disposal of the spent dampening solution, partially multi-stage filter systems are used.
  • a known filter system shows and describes the DE 199 55 624 A1 ,
  • the EP 0 180 541 A1 describes a method and a system for cleaning a printing form, wherein a printing forme is cleaned with a high-pressure water jet.
  • the refluxing water is filtered in a filter unit, flows to a container and is sucked up again in a closed circuit.
  • the filter system comprises a stretched over two guide rollers endless screen which carries a disposable paper filter belt. One of the rollers is driven by a motor.
  • the filter belt is withdrawn from a supply roll, passes through a guide roller on the wire and falls at the other end into a container.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a filter device of the above type, which allows for relatively low maintenance and material costs, a permanent and effective cleaning of the dampening solution.
  • the filter device is a ring belt filter device comprising a filter belt which is advanceable according to the saturation with dirt particles, wherein the filter belt between a supply station and a collecting station is transportable, and Filter belt U-shaped herumgsPolt around the lower peripheral portion of a trommerlartigen, lying, rotatable arrangement.
  • the rotatable assembly is preferably formed of two end disks and a number of these coaxially connecting spacer rods.
  • the filter belt Due to its U-shaped arrangement, the filter belt forms a type of pan or trough into which the dampening solution can be introduced.
  • the filter band is surrounded at the bottom by a perforated support band, which has a firmer consistency than the filter band and this is supported with respect to the weight of the dampening solution to be filtered.
  • the support band is preferably an endless belt which can be transported around rollers in the lower and in the middle to upper region of the circular end discs.
  • rollers in the lower and in the middle to upper region of the circular end discs Preferably, two lower and two upper rollers are provided.
  • the support band is preferably formed as a link belt, possibly also as a perforated plastic band.
  • the ring band filter device according to the invention is particularly suitable as a pre-filter in conjunction with one or two further filters.
  • a dirt separation of 50 - 70% is sufficient to relieve the subsequent filter stages.
  • the use of a filter fleece from the roll is the most cost effective solution in terms of material consumption. With acceptable dimensions, depending on the pressure conditions, filter material can be stored on the feed roll for about 2-6 weeks, during which time largely automatic operation of the pre-filter is possible.
  • the single FIGURE is a schematic perspective view of a filter device according to the invention.
  • 10 denotes a cylinder group of a printing press
  • the lower roller dampening solution from a dip tank 12 receives and transmits to the other rollers.
  • Excess dampening solution runs from the immersion tank 12 via a line 14 in an intermediate container 16.
  • a valve 18 in the conduit 14 allows adjustment of the amount of fountain solution flowing through the conduit 14.
  • the filter device 24 has as a central component a rotatable, horizontal, perforated drum 26, around the lower portion of which a filter belt 28 is laid, which extends from a supply roll 30 to a collecting roll 32 and from the supply roll to the collecting roll stepwise or continuously corresponding to the entering contamination of the filter material can be advanced.
  • the line 20, which emanates from the intermediate container 16 enters the interior of the drum 26.
  • the pump 22 therefore pumps the dampening solution from the intermediate container 16 into the drum 26, and from there it penetrates through the perforated drum wall and the material of the filter belt 28 into a collecting container 34 located below the drum.
  • an endless support belt 36 is provided, which is wrapped around two respective lower rollers 38, 40 and two upper rollers 42, 44 right and left of the drum according to the drawing.
  • This endless support belt 36 is for example a link belt made of plastic or wire, but may also be a perforated plastic film or the like.
  • the support belt 36 may form the drive for the arrangement of drum and filter belt, but may also be taken by them.
  • the dampening solution penetrates through the perforated drum, the filter belt and the support band on its way into the collecting container 34.
  • a filter bag 54 as a further filter device for the dampening solution, which can form the next, finer filter stage. From the dampening solution tank 50, the dampening solution can be conveyed back into the immersion tank 12 via a valve 56, a line 58 and a pump 60.
  • the ring band filter device according to the invention is particularly suitable as a pre-filter stage for a 2- or even 3-stage filter system.
  • This pre-filter stage should be arranged as close as possible to the dirt entry in the printing unit. It allows automatic, gradual or continuous switching of the filter belt as a function of the saturation with dirt particles.
  • the increase of dampening solution within the drum can be used as a measure of the contamination of the filter belt, so that the switching of the filter belt can be controlled automatically.
  • a filter stage can then be mounted, for example, in the fountain solution tank, a filter bag at the end of the entering into the tank return pipe.
  • a fine filter stage in the form of a pressure filter element in the dampening solution bypass line can be provided as the third filter stage.
