Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, in particular to an automatic roller cleaning machine. Background Art

[0002] Automatic roller cleaning machines are primarily used for cleaning rollers after coating IC substrates. They remove ink or paint from the roller surface, typically using brushing, water washing, or air knife processes. Roller coaters, which apply paint to the coating surface using a coating roller, are the primary method for in-machine coating. The coating amount can be adjusted by metering the pressure between the rollers. Increasing the pressure reduces the amount of paint passing through, and therefore the coating amount.

[0003] Since the working environment of the coating automatic roller cleaning machine is relatively harsh, a pungent ink smell is generated on the surface of the coating roller. The current practice is generally to manually operate the single tank, which has low automation and work efficiency, and also poses a safety hazard. Utility Model Content
