  • Patent number: 8001889
    Abstract: The invention involves a printing press comprising a spray dampening unit 2 having a spray nozzle cleaning device 3, a spray dampening unit 2 having a spray nozzle cleaning device 3 and a spray nozzle bar 22 having a spray nozzle cleaning device 3. Said spray nozzle cleaning device 3, respectively, was produced with fluid nozzles 34 using a fluid line system 31, the use of a fluid line system with fluid nozzles to produce such a spray nozzle cleaning device and a procedure to clean the spray nozzles 23 of a spray dampening unit by means of such a spray nozzle cleaning device 3. Said spray nozzle cleaning device has been or can be assembled in a spray dampening unit, comprising a fluid line system 31 having several fluid nozzles 34 by means of which a cleaning fluid can be sprayed on the spray nozzles 23.

  • Patent number: 6901853
    Abstract: The invention relates to a spray damping unit for printing machines, with a spray housing attached to a machine frame which extends parallel to and along the roller to be dampened, and a spray bar carrying spray valves, which is adjustably attached on the spray housing in a direction radial to the roller. The spray bar can be additionally adjusted in its longitudinal direction parallel to the roller.

  • Publication number: 20040227020
    Abstract: A valve arrangement for spray dampening units on printing machines with a feeder system to supply the valve arrangement with pressurized dampening agent and spray nozzles downstream of the valve arrangement, includes two valves disposed behind each other with staggered opening times. In a first embodiment, the opening times are staggered so that both valves are only open at the same time for a small period of time. This means shorter effective opening times can be achieved than with individual valves. In a second embodiment there is an elastic buffer element between the two valves, and the opening times are completely staggered so that there are no common opening times. When the upstream valve is opened the buffer element generates an additional uptake of dampening agent, which is ejected by the buffer element when the first valve is closed and the downstream valve is opened.
