When Do We Need A Rotary Drum Transfer Machine?
Rotary drum transfer machine is often used to print fabric continuously (roll to roll) and to print large fabric parts such as signs and banners which may be too large for a standard platen press. Drum machines can also be used to print sports apparel and other cut apparel parts. Drum machines are more productive than platen machines for sublimation printing on cut apparel parts and are therefore used when production volume is high. Drum machines are not used however to print onto rigid substrates such as wood, metal or ceramic tile.
What Are the Advantages of Using a Rotary Drum Heat Transfer Press?
Rotary Drum Heat Presses are typically more efficient then their platen counterparts. These types of presses eliminate the need for registration marks and garment templates. The garment parts – fronts, backs sleeves can be cut in quantity. The paper is printed in a roll and fed into the machine with the graphic facing up. The cut parts are placed down onto the paper as it is fed into the machine. This is a much more efficient way to run the work.
These advantages make Rotary Drum Presses ideal for production factories looking to operate efficiently in a lean manufacturing environment.
What’s the difference between a Rotary Drum Heat Press Vs. Platen Heat presses?
Platen presses are often used for printing on individual pieces such as cut apparel parts, T-shirts, sports apparel, tote bags, etc. Platen presses are also used to print on rigid substrates such as wood, metals and ceramic tiles.
