Böttcher Water pan roller

The water pan roller, also known as dampening roller, water roller, or fount roller, is a mechanical inking roller. It has the dimensions 140 x 30 x 30 cm and weighs 25 kg. Another part number for this product is F2.030.520F/01 from Heidelberg. Water pan rollers are essential components in printing presses, especially in offset printing, where they transfer the dampening solution from the fount solution pan to the other dampening unit rollers. They ensure precise and uniform wetting of the printing plate, which is crucial for high print quality and the prevention of dot gain. The spare part is compatible with, among others, the machine 'Heidelberg XL 105'.
