Abstract
A method and an installation operable for cleaning an inking blade acting against a chambered printing cylinder of a flexographic printing machine. A cleaning device includes a blade cleaner, a recovery device for ink removed from the blade, a first prewash cleaning system, a subsequent regular wash system and an air nozzle system to clean out ink. The ink is recovered before the washing. The ink washed out is recovered and this polluted wash fluid is used in a subsequent cleaning as a prewash.
