Definitions
- the respective printing plate by a so-called dampening unit with an aqueous liquid wetted to achieve that in a subsequent Process step, the image areas accept the color while the non-image areas behave color-repellent.
- the aqueous liquid often exists besides water a mixture with alcohol, mostly isopropanol is used, and a chemical mixture of up to about twenty Substances, which is referred to below as an additive.
- the additive is used in concentrations of 1 to 8% vol., the alcohol of 0.5 to 20% vol. added.
- the concentration of water is between 72% and 98.5% - Vol.
- Using optimized additives becomes the Part completely renounced the alcohol. In this case the additive is also referred to as an alcohol substitute.
- the optimized additive then takes over fully or at least partly the function of isopropanol.
- the additive concentrate as a single chemical formulation consisting of all necessary chemical Ingredients with defined predetermined concentrations exists and its composition from the print application, i.e. Web offset, sheetfed offset or newspaper printing as well as machine type, paper type, color type, to feed into the fountain solution cycle of a printing machine, is an emergency solution that meets the modern requirements High availability of the offset process is not fair.
- the concentrations of alcohol in the dampening water are usually currently between 6% and 20% and facilitate in case of roll and sheet offset the use of so-called film dampening units.
- the prior art consist of several with Rubber compounds and / or metals coated rollers, the rotate in contact with each other with a certain contact pressure and the fountain solution in the form of a film adjustable Transport the layer thickness to the printing plate. This Transport process is due to the addition of isopropanol the resulting reduction in the surface tension favored the liquid film.
- film dampenings according to the prior art are also contactless operating systems, in particular with nozzles operated Spray dampenings or dampeners, the rolls with covers made of plush, used. Because in these cases the Dampening solution transported without continuous liquid film the use of alcohol can be omitted. Also in these embodiments according to the prior art, this is inventive new method of the utmost importance, since It is an optimal composition of chemicals Dampening water allows.
- the process fluid uses dosing devices, volumetrically in the context of a control the two or mix three components under fixed proportions and in the fluid circuit of the printing machine according to the respective consumption, i. according to the removal the liquid through the paper to be printed, feed.
- dosing devices volumetrically in the context of a control the two or mix three components under fixed proportions and in the fluid circuit of the printing machine according to the respective consumption, i. according to the removal the liquid through the paper to be printed, feed.
- systems are in particular conventional Metering pumps in use.
- a big disadvantage of these systems is that neither malfunction of the mixing devices still changes the physical and / or the chemical composition, e.g. as a result of chemical Reactions or absorption or desorption processes through the ink, the paper, through the piping or the machine modules can be detected.
- Especially lead evaporation processes in these classic Dosing procedure for significant concentration errors are especially lead evaporation processes in these classic Dosing procedure for significant concentration errors.
- the aim of the present invention is therefore a method and an apparatus for implementing the method, which is a quantitative, continuous measurement and control the concentrations of the individual components of each Additive or the substitute in a matrix of bis to 20 chemical components without faulty influence by other substances, e.g. in particular by alcohols, Dirt, paint and paper particles, gas bubbles, salts the paper line and others typical for offset printing Impurities, allow.
- the in Fig. 1 in a tank (1) located process fluid (2) becomes circulating pump (3) to the printing press (4) and back to tank (1) via piping (5) in Guided cycle.
- the respective concentrations of chemical Individual components of the additive are from a Measuring system (6) continuously measured.
- the default chemical components K1, K2, K3, .... to Kn are over Pumps (7) and via valves (8) in the process fluid (2) fed in each case Target concentrations of the chemical components K1 to Kn are thereby guaranteed that the measuring system (6) is the actual - Measures concentrations continuously and as part of a Control system replenished so much from the respective component, that the actual value is equal to the predetermined target value.
- the loss of water in the process fluid (2) is balanced via a pipe (9), wherein the filling level (10) via a level - measuring and control system (11) according to the ultrasonic sounder principle or a Method according to the prior art kept constant becomes.
