  • Patent number: 11623445
    Abstract: In some examples, a printing press includes a printing unit with at least four nozzle bars, each including a print head. At least one nozzle bar has a printing position and at least one service position. For instance, in a first service position, the at least one nozzle bar has a first distance to the transport path of a printing substrate, and in a second service position the at least one nozzle bar has a second distance to the transport path. The printing unit includes at least one cleaning device and/or cleaning system that is selectively arranged in an area between the at least one nozzle bar and the transport path.

  • Publication number: 20230106998
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a filter unit (10) for a compressor, comprising a housing (12) with an inlet (14) and an outlet (28) for gas to be compressed, a particle pre-filter (16) arranged downstream of the inlet (14) in the flow direction of the gas to be compressed, an ultraviolet irradiation unit (22) which is configured to emit ultraviolet light and is arranged downstream of the particle pre-filter (16) in the flow direction of the gas to be compressed, and a ballast (40) which is configured and arranged to control the ultraviolet irradiation unit (22). The filter unit (10) is designed in such a way that the gas to be compressed which is fed in at the inlet (14) first passes through the particle pre-filter (16), is then irradiated by the ultraviolet irradiation unit (22) and can finally be fed to the compressor through the outlet (28). The invention also relates to a compressor comprising such a filter unit (10) and to a method for compressing breathing air using such a compressor.

  • Patent number: 11559976
    Abstract: A gravure printing unit, which is usable for printing on a substrate, according to a gravure printing method, includes a forme cylinder which comprises, on its circumference, an image-forming pattern of recesses, and an inking unit, by the use of which the pattern of recesses provided on the forme cylinder is inked. The forme cylinder can be partially inked from an inking device via a first inking unit cylinder which has recesses in the region of its outer cylindrical surface that correspond to recesses on the forme cylinder, and via a second inking unit cylinder, which cooperates with the first inking unit cylinder and which comprises ink-transferring elements or raised areas on its circumference. For controlling the transfer of ink, the first inking unit cylinder having the recesses, is configured as being temperature controllable or has a temperature control device in the ink unit supply. Alternatively, a printing pressure between inking units cylinders can be varied during operation.
