Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013164128A1] The invention relates to an inking system (10) and a method for cleaning an inking system (10) of a rotary printing press (1). The inking system (10) comprises: a doctor blade device (11) with a doctor blade chamber (12) containing ink (2) for the printing process of the rotary printing press (1); an ink reservoir (13) from which ink (2) can be supplied to the doctor blade chamber (12); and a supply system (20) which allows ink (2) to be supplied inside the inking system (10). The inking system (10) is connected to a storage reservoir (60) into which ink (2) from the inking system (10) can be introduced, to a solvent reservoir (70) containing solvent (3) for cleaning the inking system (10), and to a dirt reservoir (80) into which ink (2) dirtied by the solvent (3) can be introduced. The supply system (20) is designed such as to carry out the following process steps for cleaning the inking system (10): A. automatically pumping off ink (2) from the inking system (10) to the storage reservoir (60) by means of the supply system (20); and B. automatically cleaning the inking system (10) by means of the solvent (3), in a first cleaning step the ink (3) being collected in the ink reservoir (13), and in a second cleaning step the solvent (3) being supplied to the dirt reservoir (80).
