Abstract

A method for removing from at least single-layer webs of material, particles formed by slitting devices which are arranged along a web travel path in a slitting zone, includes generating a suction zone associated with the slitting devices in accordance with the position of a cutting location; a device for performing the method; a jobbing web-fed rotary printing machine including the device; and a newspaper rotary printing machine including the device.

Claims (28)

1. A device for removing from at least single-layer webs of material, particles formed by slitting devices arranged along a web travel path in a slitting zone, comprising:

a plurality of elements;

a suction device on a first side of said elements;

slitting devices on a second side of said elements;

a deflection bracket movable parallel to an axis of rotation of the slitting devices for deflecting said elements to create a suction zone on said second side of said elements, said deflection bracket being couple to the slitting devices.

2. The particle-removing device according to claim 1 , wherein said elements are constructed as flexible brushes.

3. The particle-removing device according to claim 1 , wherein said elements are flexible and are constructed as lamellar displaceable elements.

4. The particle-removing device according to claim 1 , wherein said deflecting elements are held on a bearing plate of one of the slitting devices.

5. The particle-removing device according to claim 4 , including a drive for displacing said bearing plate in a given direction of displacement.

6. The particle-removing device according to claim 5 , wherein said direction of displacement extends perpendicularly to the travel direction of the web of material.

7. The particle-removing device according to claim 1 , wherein said suction device comprises a vacuum box with lateral vacuum ports.

8. The particle-removing device according to claim 1 , wherein said suction device is formed with an opening covered by said elements.

9. The particle-removing device according to claim 8 , wherein said elements are arranged in rows.

10. The particle-removing device according to claim 1 , wherein said deflection bracket comprises a rounded contour.

11. The particle-removing device according to claim 10 , wherein said deflection bracket is capable of generating a suction zone lying in the web travel plane and extending into an outlet wedge of the mutually cooperating slitting devices.

12. A jobbing web-fed rotary printing machine having a device for removing from at least single-layer webs of material, particles formed by slitting devices arranged along a web travel path in a slitting zone, comprising:

a plurality of elements;

a suction device on a first side of said elements;

slitting devices on a second side of said elements;

a bracket movable parallel to an axis of rotation of the slitting devices for deflecting said elements to create a suction zone on said second side of said elements, said deflection bracket being coupled to the slitting devices.

13. A newspaper rotary printing machine having a device for removing from at least single-layer webs of material, particles formed by slitting devices arranged along a web travel path in a slitting zone, comprising:

a plurality of elements;

a suction device on a first side of said elements;

slitting devices on a second side of said elements;

a deflection bracket movable parallel to an axis of rotation of the slitting devices for deflecting said elements to create a suction zone on said second side of said elements, said deflection bracket being coupled to the slitting devices.

14. The particle-removing device according to claim 1 , wherein the slitting zone is situated in a turner-bar superstructure of a web-processing rotary printing machine.

15. The jobbing web-fed rotary printing machine according to claim 12 , wherein the slitting zone is situated in a turner-bar superstucture of the machine.

16. The newspaper rotary printing machine according to claim 13 , wherein the slitting zone is situated in a turner-bar superstructure of the machine.
