Ribbon Sublimation Transfer Machine (Custom Edition) ZS-AC

Designing Equipment to Meet Actual Production Goals

The ZS-AC Sublimation Ribbon Transfer Printer (Custom Edition) is designed for the continuous sublimation printing of small fabric pieces, woven ribbons, elastic bands, shoelaces, cell phone lanyards,pet leashes, zippers, and other strip-shaped products. It offers two roller diameters—610 mm and 800 mm—as well as two processing widths—600 mm and 1,200 mm. The machine features a double-sided positioning worktable,precision infrared alignment, high-density felt, 8 aluminum alloy air shafts, Italian full-oil double-layer rollers, and a magnetic powder tension winding and unwinding system. It enables stable double-sided pattern transfer on strip-shaped materials, and the entire machine can be customized based on material type, width, speed, and automation requirements.

Equipment Advantages

1. High-Density Felt:The use of high-density, thickened felt ensures richer transfer results, better heat resistance and wear resistance, and a longer service life.
2. Double-Sided Alignment Workbench:The double-sided alignment workbench, combined with infrared positioning, easily enables double-sided transfer printing on woven ribbons, ensuring precise registration of patterns on both sides and minimizing misalignment and deviations.
3. Aluminum Alloy Air Shafts:Equipped with 8 high-quality aluminum alloy air shafts, which simplify the loading and unloading of transfer paper, ensure stable positioning, and prevent misalignment, making them ideal for continuous production.
4. Italian Oil-Filled Double-Layer Rollers:The double-layer rollers utilize oil-filled technology, allowing temperature to be stably controlled within a range of ±1°C. The rollers heat evenly, ensuring consistent transfer results without noticeable color differences.
5. Magnetic Powder Tension Drive:The magnetic powder tension control system allows for adjustment of tension and speed based on the material and process, ensuring more stable winding and unwinding, as well as smoother paper feeding and winding.

Core Configuration

• Control Board:The control board manages temperature, speed, material unwinding and rewinding, and operational status, facilitating operation and maintenance.
• Tension Adjustment Device:Adjusts tension based on the elasticity and thickness of materials such as webbing, elastic bands, and zippers to minimize material deviation.
• High-Quality Heating Elements:Work in conjunction with the roller heating system to provide stable heat, with a temperature range of 0–400°C.
• Brand-Name Motors:The drive system operates smoothly, meeting the process requirements for continuous production and various speed ranges.
• Pneumatic Pressure Application Device:Pressure can be adjusted according to material thickness and pattern requirements, ensuring more uniform transfer contact.

Applicable Industries and Use Cases

This machine is a sublimation ribbon transfer printer suitable for processing small fabric pieces, woven ribbons, elastic bands, shoelaces, and similar materials.It is suitable for continuous printing on narrow-width strip materials such as woven ribbons, elastic bands, shoelaces, and lanyards, supporting both single-sided and double-sided printing processes. It is well-suited for ribbon processing scenarios involving frequent job changes and a wide variety of designs. The machine’s main specifications include a web width of 600 / 1200 mm, production speed of 160–450 m/h, and power of 21 / 28 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 the requirements for single- or double-sided printing and process parameters such as temperature, pressure, and speed.

Technical Specifications

Operating temperature: 0–400°C; Equipment noise level: 30 dB.

Note:The above dimensions are for standard machines. The factory accepts custom orders for various specifications, with drum widths up to 6 meters and diameters up to 2.5 meters. We can provide solutions best suited to your materials, web width, production capacity, and automation requirements. Final specifications are subject to the technical proposal and contract.

Operating and Safety Instructions

The equipment uses roller heating; the rollers and heating components 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 it must be confirmed that the rollers have come to a complete stop and the temperature is within a safe range.There is a risk of pinching and entanglement at the feed rollers, web-feeding device, and lamination section. Always press the emergency stop button before addressing web jams, web breaks, or web misalignment. The equipment must be reliably grounded, and the electrical components must be kept dry and clean.Routinely inspect the heating elements, felt, tensioning mechanism, and belt feeding device 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 21/28 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 is available in widths of 600 / 1200 mm; power configurations are 21 / 28 kW, and production speeds range from 160 to 450 m/h. Select the appropriate configuration based on actual processing dimensions and production capacity targets; if the available specifications are insufficient, choose a model from the same series with a wider width or higher power rating.In addition, verify the workshop’s power capacity, equipment layout, and loading/unloading space, and reserve sufficient operating space for routine maintenance.

Applications

Suitable for precise double-sided sublimation transfer printing on small fabric pieces, woven ribbons, elastic bands, shoelaces, cell phone lanyards, pet leashes, zippers, and other materials; it can also be used for continuous printing on related narrow-width strip materials.Before formal mass production, we recommend providing samples for prototyping and testing to confirm process parameters such as temperature, pressure, speed, tension, and registration alignment.
