Abstract
The inking and washing circuit of a flexographic printing machine includes a device comprising a fixed plate on which an immersion pump assembly is mounted with the pump below the plate, and lifting means for receiving a container of ink or for washing purposes and for lifting the container up to a position against the underside of the plate in which the pump is within the container. Washing nozzle means are mounted on the underside of the plate along a closed shape surrounding the pump assembly, which shape is within the open mouth of the washing container but outside the open mouth of the ink container.
