  • Patent number: 11745494
    Abstract: Disclosed is a corrugated paperboard printer comprising a chamber which reserves ink, wherein the chamber comprises a chamber frame comprising an ink reservoir which reserves the ink. A steel member and a recovery pipe are arranged on the opposite side of an anilox roll across the chamber frame. The steel member comprises a web extending in an up-down direction, and a first flange and a second flange connected, respectively, to up-down directional opposite ends of the web. The web is penetratingly formed with a maintenance opening in accordance with the position of a coupling port valve or the like. The second flange is formed with an insertion part for allowing the recovery pipe or the like to be inserted therein.

  • Patent number: 11745495
    Abstract: Disclosed is a corrugated paperboard printer comprising a pressing device for applying a pressing force to press a chamber which reserves ink toward an anilox roll. The pressing device is configured to apply a first pressing force, and a second pressing force which is greater than the first pressing force, respectively, to a first pressing area and a second pressing area in a back surface of a chamber frame. In a state in which no pressing force is applied by the pressing device, bending occurring in the chamber frame due to a load transmitted from a printing roll to the chamber frame via the anilox roll as printing is performed to a corrugated paperboard sheet is greater in the second pressing area than in the first pressing area.
