The wash-up blade is an important tool when cleaning the oscillating rollers in the offset printing unit before an upcoming ink change. The blade is responsible for scraping ink residues and cleaning agents from the rollers and out of the printing unit. The wash-up blades have a different appearance depending on the machine and installation environment.
The conventional wash-up blades are made out of two parts: the basic steel blade with holes, cavities or a straight border needed for installing it into the holder and the rubber lip which lies against the roller.
