Definitions
- the invention relates to a direct printing machine and to a method for printing on containers with a direct printing according to the features of the preamble of claim 1 or 14.
- the direct printing machine for this purpose comprises a transport device for transporting the containers and direct print heads for applying the direct printing during transport.
- a direct print head is, for example, an ink jet print head having a plurality of print nozzles typically arranged in one or more rows (eg, 1000 to 5000 in each of 1 to 4 nozzle rows).
- a relative movement between the container surface and the direct print head essentially perpendicular to the nozzle rows.
- the print image itself is present as digital information in a computer control for controlling the direct print head. Furthermore, the ink is cured in a subsequent curing station via UV or other energy rays, such as electron beams by cross-linking. For multi-color printing, several direct print heads are provided with different printing inks.
- the disadvantage here is that the color droplets emitted by the direct print heads are blown by the airstream and thereby the quality of the printed image is reduced. Consequently, higher speeds or performance are difficult or impossible to implement and use at higher humidity is not given. In addition, dust particles or the like may settle on the containers, which further worsen the printed image or clog the printing nozzles. In addition, in the case of the known direct printing presses, color ink extraction is necessary in order to collect the paint mist produced by the airstream.
- Another disadvantage is that the operator must be extensively protected from UV radiation to cure the ink, paint particles, ozone, etc.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a direct printing machine and a method with which a more reliable printing of containers with a direct printing of high quality at a high throughput speed is possible. It is also one Object of the invention to effectively protect the operator from odors, any radiation, color particles and / or ozone.

Consequently, even at high speeds no wind and thus no drift of pressure drops. Furthermore, no paint mist or the like is generated and the printing is independent of the environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity. Furthermore, there is no formation of dust within the treatment chamber, which could contaminate the printed image or clog the printing nozzles. In addition, the treatment chamber protects the operator from odors, any radiation, ozone and / or color particles.
- the direct printing machine can be arranged in a beverage processing plant.
- the direct printing machine can be arranged downstream of a filling installation for filling a product into the containers and / or a capper.
