Abstract (en)

A system for cleaning inkjet printing heads that is intended for cleaning these heads by means of a pressurized fluid, selected between a liquid solvent and a gaseous fluid, such as air. The pressurized fluid passes through various spaces inside the ink printing heads, through which ink normally flows when sprayed, in such a way that this path is taken in two circulation directions for much more effective cleaning. For cleaning, the ink printing head is placed inside a main tub, in such a way that the lower portion of the ink printing head is soaked in a liquid solvent contained within said first tub, further including, among other elements, a level control device that regulates the optimal height of the liquid solvent inside the main tub.
