Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and device for preventing clogging of spray nozzles and/or a screening plate of a spray dampening apparatus arranged at a printing press roller.
  • a spray dampening apparatus is arranged in the proximity of a printing press roller for spraying fountain solution thereon.
  • This fountain solution is needed for obtaining the intended printing function in the printing press, as is well known in the art. (Other liquids than fountain solution could alternatively be sprayed.)
  • the printing ink mist causes clogging of the spray nozzles of the spray dampening apparatus, so that their intended spray function gradually deteriorates and the spray pattern of the spray dampening apparatus is changed.
  • a screening plate is provided in a spray casing in front of the spray nozzles.
  • the screening plate is provided with openings for letting through to the printing press roller only a portion of the fountain solution sprayed by the spray nozzles. These screening plate openings may be clogged by the entering printing ink mist, so that the screening function of the screening plate is changed in a non-predictable way.
  • This clogging may according to the invention be prevented in that streams of clean air are caused to flow towards the printing press roller along the spray cones from the spray nozzles in order to break up approaching, dirty air streams.
  • a slitted air tube for emitting an air stream towards the printing press roller is arranged at each side of the spray nozzles.
  • a spray dampening apparatus 1 of a generally conventional design is mounted in the vicinity of a printing press roller 2. It comprises a spray beam 3 in a longitudinal spray casing 4. Spray nozzles 5, preferably for spraying fountain solution, are arranged in the spray beam 3. They are preferably evenly distributed for obtaining an even spray pattern on the roller 2 from spray cones 6 emanating from the nozzles 5.
  • the spray casing 4 is generally closed except at its side facing the roller 2. As shown, the side walls of the spray casing 4 are curved in correspondence to the curvature of the roller 2, so that only a small circumferential gap appears between the roller 2 and the spray casing 4.
  • the environment in a printing press is comparatively harsh with for example a mist of printing ink and possibly other matters being formed in the region where the roller is situated.
  • the mist can enter into the spray casing 4 through said gap, as is illustrated by arrows 7.
  • this mist causes problems with clogging of the interior of the spray casing 4, especially the spray nozzles 5 with a gradually deteriorating operation thereof as result.
  • the arrangement comprises two longitudinal slitted air tubes 8 one at each side of the row of spray nozzles 5. These slitted tubes direct air streams 8' obliquely forwards in the spray casing 4. The purpose of these air streams 8' is to prevent the intrusion of the printing ink mist into the spray casing 4 and to create an overpressure therein.
  • a screening plate 9 provided with openings for letting through only a certain portion of the fountain solution from the spray nozzles 5 may be arranged in the spray casing 4.
  • the screening plate openings are gradually cloggged by the printing ink mist, which may be prevented by the air streams 8'.
