ZS-AB Double-sided Ribbon Sublimation Transfer Machine

Designing Equipment to Meet Actual Production Goals

The ZS-AB Sublimation Ribbon Double-Sided Transfer Printing Machine is designed for the continuous printing of ribbons, elastic bands, shoelaces, and other narrow strip materials, offering three drum diameters—420 mm,610 mm, and 800 mm, as well as processing widths of 700 mm, 1000 mm, and 1300 mm.The machine features a positioning worktable, seamless steel tube rollers, a Teflon coating, high-quality stainless steel heating elements, and pneumatic pressure and feeding mechanisms. It enables precise single- or double-sided printing on woven ribbons while ensuring efficient heating, color consistency, and stable continuous winding.

Equipment Advantages

1. Positioning Workbench:Easily achieves single- or double-sided printing on woven ribbon products with greater precision in positioning and alignment, making it ideal for processing that requires high accuracy in pattern registration and consistency between both sides.
2. Seamless Steel Pipe Rollers:The inner and outer diameters of the rollers are precision-machined; the outer surface is precision-ground before being coated with Teflon. The rollers provide uniform heating, ensure color-accurate transfers, and offer excellent wear resistance and non-stick properties.
3. High-Quality Heating Tubes:High-quality stainless steel heating tubes and heat transfer oil are used to directly heat the oil layer, which can reach 200°C in approximately 45 minutes, meeting the operating temperature required for continuous sublimation printing on woven ribbons.
4. Pneumatic Pressing:The pneumatic pressure is adjustable, and the front-mounted silicone roller further enhances contact uniformity, resulting in richer and more stable transfer results.
5. Tape-Feeding Device:After sublimation, the woven tape is organized by the tape-feeding device, which prevents tangling and facilitates subsequent winding and reeling, thereby improving continuous production efficiency.

Core Configuration

• Single-sided/Double-sided Printing:The positioning worktable enables printing on the front, back, or both sides of the web, with the process adjustable based on the product and design.
• Uniform Heating System:Seamless steel rollers, Teflon coating, and a heat transfer oil circulation system work together to minimize temperature variations and color discrepancies.
• Adjustable Pneumatic Pressure:Pressure can be adjusted according to the web’s thickness, elasticity, and pattern requirements; a front-mounted silicone roller improves the bonding effect.
• Anti-Tangle Web Collection:The web feeding mechanism ensures the printed ribbon enters the winding stage smoothly, minimizing tangling and knots.

Applicable Industries and Use Cases

This machine is a sublimation ribbon transfer printer suitable for processing ribbons, elastic bands, shoelaces, phone lanyards, and similar applications.It is suitable for continuous printing on narrow strip materials such as woven ribbons, elastic bands, shoelaces, and lanyards, supporting both single-sided and double-sided printing processes. It is ideal for ribbon processing scenarios involving frequent job changes and a wide variety of designs.The machine’s main specifications include a web width of 1,300 mm, a production speed of 120–620 m/h, and power ratings of 17, 20, 26, 38, or 58 kW.Before mass production, it is recommended to conduct test runs using actual materials to confirm the width and number of strips of the web material, as well as process requirements for single- or double-sided printing and process parameters such as temperature, pressure, and speed.

Technical Specifications

Note:The above specifications are for reference only and represent standard configurations. Actual drum diameter, processing width, voltage, power, speed, and material feeding/unwinding configurations may be confirmed or customized based on the web material, product width, and production capacity requirements. Final specifications are subject to the technical proposal and contract.

Operating and Safety Instructions

The equipment uses heated rollers; the rollers and heating elements reach high temperatures during operation. Protective gloves must be worn during operation and cleaning, and direct contact with the roller surfaces is strictly prohibited. Before loading material, threading the web, replacing the felt, or adjusting the web width, the equipment must be shut down and the rollers must be confirmed to have come to a complete stop with temperatures within a safe range.There is a risk of pinching or entanglement at the feed rollers, web-feeding mechanism, and pressing sections. Always press the emergency stop button first when handling jammed web, broken web, or web misalignment. The equipment must be properly grounded, and the electrical components must be kept dry and clean.Routine inspections of the heating elements, felt belts, tensioning mechanisms, and web feeding devices should be performed as specified in the manual. If unusual noises or abnormal temperatures are detected, shut down the machine immediately for inspection and repair. This machine has a power rating of 17 / 20 / 26 / 38 / 58 kW; before wiring, verify that the workshop’s power supply capacity meets the requirements.

Selection Recommendations

When selecting a model, first confirm the width of the strip material, the number of strips, and whether single- or double-sided processing is required. This machine has a maximum width of 1300 mm;power configurations are 17 / 20 / 26 / 38 / 58 kW, and the production speed ranges from 120 to 620 m/h. Select the appropriate configuration based on actual processing dimensions and production capacity goals; if the specified specifications are insufficient, choose a model from the same series with a wider working width or higher power rating.In addition, verify the workshop’s power capacity, equipment layout, and space requirements for loading and unloading, and ensure sufficient space is reserved for routine maintenance.

Applications

Suitable for sublimation transfer printing on ribbon-like products such as woven ribbons, elastic bands, shoelaces, cell phone lanyards, pet leashes, and zippers. Depending on the material and process, it can also be used for single- or double-sided continuous printing on related narrow-width trims.Before formal mass production, we recommend providing a web sample for a test print to confirm process parameters such as temperature, pressure, speed, and pattern registration.
