At the ITMA 2015 in Milan, Zimmer Austria, the specialist for printing and coating machines, will launch two new Colaris machines for the digital textile printing industry as well as its newly developed rotary screen printing machine.
COLARIS INFINITI
Colaris Infiniti is the “off-the-shelf” or “out-off-the-box” solution with a very attractive price. The 1.8 m printer can hold up to 8 colours and 32 SPT 1024GS print heads in total with drop sizes from 7 to 21 picoliter. The speed ranges from 520 sqm/h at 360×360 dpi at 1 pass to 170 sqm at 360×1080 dpi at 3 pass using 4 heads per color.
COLARIS3
Colaris3 is the 3rd generation of the high performance digital textile printer using up to 64 FUJIFILM Dimatix Starfire heads with ink circulation system. Print heads are available in three different models with drop sizes from 10 to 250 picoliter and a native resolution of 400×400 dpi.
The maximum speed of the Colaris3 will be 1.670 sqm/h and will cover resolutions up to 1600 dpi. The printer is available from 1.8 up to 5 m in width. Colaris3 in combination with ChromoJET digital in-line pre-treatment, drying or steaming fixation units, make the printer the most versatile inkjet workhorse to print textiles, terry towels, polyester fleece and other pile products like carpets.
Zimmer will show first inkjet print results on cotton furniture, curtains, terry-towel and work-wear textiles with extreme fastness properties. This is a development project between Dystar and Zimmer and will lead to complete new applications using inkjet technology.
CHROMOJET TABLETOP PRINTER
ChromoJET TableTop Printer is a small digital lab printer to develop new applications, processes and recipes using the Zimmer ChromoJET valve jet technology. New applications of digital coating and printing can be developed easily.
ROTASCREEN TG/TU
ROTASCREEN TG / TU is the newly developed rotary screen printing machine in modular construction and in approved Zimmer quality. It opens a wide spectrum of applications to cover actual and future market requirements. Top results with single or multi-colour printing on different substrates such as home textile, fashion, towels, blankets, automotive, technical textiles and innovative materials will be achieved.
The Original Zimmer Magnet System Plus can be combined with closed (Type TG) or open (Type TU) printing aggregates, single or double sided screen drives, roll rod- and magnet blade squeegee technology. Both sided step less cross adjustment of printing heads enables also narrow printing on wide machines with up to 24 colors and 120 m/min. ACR-5-control system permits easy handling, short set-up time, automatic repeat setting, design memory and quick reproduction of re-orders.
Coating Systems
The MAGNOROLL is a compact and robust multi-purpose coating machine for universal applications. The Original Zimmer Magnet System including electric magnet roller, high quality coating results with perfect uniform liquid, paste, lacquer and foam applications can be achieved on substrates such as textiles, paper, foil, nonwoven, fiber glass, tissues and innovative materials with different application amounts in widths up to 560 cm.
The Magnoroll can be installed into an existing stenter coating line or as a special designed coating plant with web infeed, dryer and exit.
The modular system allows a combination with:
- 1 or 2 rotary screen printing aggregates, repeat 640 – 914 mm, for designed and full surface application with Zimmer roll rod- and magnet blade squeegee technology
- Magnet roll direct coating and low-add-on application
- Knife coating with knife-on-air and knife-over-roll application technology
- Slot nozzle device MagnoJET– and/or VarioPRESS for full surface foam coating. Contact or contactless single or double sided application in horizontal and vertical installation can be realized.
