ROLLER CLEANING METHOD MEANS

摘要

A method and apparatus for cleaning printing ink from dampener rollers which provides that the dampener roller (1) should be supported for rotation about its elongate central axis and that a high speed jet of water (7) should be directed so as to deeply penetrate the fabric of the roller (2) and to be caused to be flung out by reason of rapid rotational motion. The apparatus also includes a shape so that the viewing of the cleansing action can be achieved without the necessity of transparent windows. Support brackets for a roller and for a variable position jet outlet are provided for as well as an arrangement to provide through circulation for the cleansing water.
