  • the roller as an anilox roller with a z. B. consists of wells existing grid structure, the filling of the grid structure with the ink, the so-called cup filling, is made uniform and improved by the fluidic action of the airfoil.
  • An additional advantage is the fact that the fluidic effect of the airfoil on the ink can be done without disturbing side effect on a doctor blade and a box bottom of Rakelfarbkarsten.
  • Another additional advantage is the fact that the airfoil is very easily accessible when the rear wall is adjusted away from the roller and therefore can be easily cleaned when the ink is changed.
  • the rear wall is optionally in a first position, in which or as a result of which the color level is above a doctor blade of a squeegee of Rakelfarbktenstens, and in a second position, in or as a result of which the color level below the squeegee blade of the squeegee box is lying, adjustable.
  • the squeegee blade forms the highest point of the squeegee.
  • the rear wall is pivotally mounted about a hinge in the first position and in the second position, which rotary joint is arranged above a box bottom of the doctor blade box.
  • the flow profile and the circumferential surface of the roller together form a constriction, which lies above the doctor blade, when the rear wall is in the first position.
  • the flow profile has an outer corner defining the constriction at an angle which is greater than 45 ° and less than 135 °. In particular, this angle can be greater than 60 ° and less than 120 °. Preferably, the angle of the outer corner is about 90 °, d. h., the outer corner is approximately at right angles.

  • the film is designed as a disposable article which can be regularly disposed of during the cleaning of the doctor blade box.
  • the ink used for the previous print job is removed from the Rakelfarbkasten and then the film together with the on it removed color residues from the Rakelfarbkasten and thrown away. After inserting an unused, new film in the Rakelfarbkasten the ink required for the following print job is filled in the Rakelfarbkasten.
  • the rear wall has a metallically hard sliding surface, with which the rear wall rests against the film for producing the contact.
  • the film and the back wall together define an offset ink supply formed by the ink and stored in the squeegee box.
  • the ink stored in the Rakelfarbkasten is therefore preferably highly viscous.
  • the inking unit is an anilox inking unit and the roller is an anilox roller.
  • a printing machine 1 comprises an anilox inking unit 2 with an anilox roller 3 and a doctor blade box 4, which has an ink fountain 5 and a doctor blade 6.

  • the ink fountain 5 comprises a rear wall 8, which is fastened by means of a rotary joint 13 to a side wall 26 of the ink fountain 5.
  • a cup-shaped box bottom 7 of the ink fountain 5 has a surface 23 which is curved in a circular arc and whose center of curvature is the rotary joint 13.
  • a highest lying point of the doctor blade 6 is formed by the doctor blade 16 which abuts the anilox roller 3 in the printing operation.
  • the interior of the ink fountain 5 is lined with a film 17, which consists of a plastic, for.
  • a film 17 which consists of a plastic, for.
  • PE polyethene
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • the film 17 may have an ink repellent, oleophobic and thus anti-adhesive surface.
  • the ends of the film 17 are angled substantially U-shaped, wherein a hook-shaped part of the front end together with the doctor blade 6 forms a package which is clamped in the clamping device 25.
  • the rear end of the film 17 also forms a hook 19 which is mounted for securing in a arranged on the ink fountain 5 projection 20.
  • the back wall 8, the film 17, the side wall 26 and an opposite side wall 26 of the ink fountain 5 together define an offset ink supply 14 stored in the doctor blade box 4.
  • an offset ink supply 14 stored in the doctor blade box 4.
  • a supply of other ink which has a similar viscosity as the offset printing ink.
  • the rear wall 8 has at its free end a sliding surface 12 which slides on pivoting of the rear wall 8 on the film 17.
  • the sliding surface 12 is made of the same metal, for. As steel or preferably aluminum, from which the entire remaining rear wall is made.
  • an elastic or resilient element is provided in order to ensure a permanent and elastic contact between the rear wall 8 and the film 17 and to avoid between the rear wall 8 and the film 17 passing ink.
  • the element is a solid pad 22, which consists of a plastic foam, for. As polyethylene terephthalate foam (PET foam) or ethylene / propylene / diene rubber foam (EPDM foam), and which is arranged as a support for the film 17 between this and the concave surface 23 of the box bottom 7.
  • PET foam polyethylene terephthalate foam

  • the solid pad 22 and the film 17 may be successively inserted into the doctor blade box 4 or may instead be assembled in sandwich construction and be inserted in one piece in the Rakelfarbkasten 4.
  • the solid pad 22 is compressible to lie in both the first position and the second position and also in any one of these two positions Intermediate position of the rear wall 8, the film 17 presses against the rear wall 8.
  • the pretensioning action exerted by the solid pad 22 can be seen in FIGS. 1a and 1b on the basis of the small reversible deformation of the film 17 and of the solids pad 22 in the region of the sliding surface 12.
  • the sliding surface 12 presses a little into the solid pad 22, the latter and the overlying film 17 in the region of the sliding surface 12 form a small and reversible depression on relief.

  • the outer corner 11 is the region of the airfoil 9 closest to the anilox roller 3.
  • the airfoil 9 and its outer corner 11 are not in contact with the anilox roller 3, However, they are very close to the latter.
  • the outer corner 11 thus forms, together with the peripheral surface of the anilox roller 3, a constriction 10.
