The key to DTF equipment is the powder shaker, not the printer

Drying of DTF Film is an important step in the entire production of DTF film. Adding hot melt powder to the dryer will make DTF Film more elastic and cohesive.Therefore, this article points out that powder shaker machine is a key step in the completion of DTF process production, and choosing a good Film dryer can make your PET Film better in quality.

Since the introduction of 5-head printers, printing speeds in the DTF industry have dramatically increased. Moving forward the most important technological advancement will not be the printer, but the shaker.

With the continuous development of DTF Printer technology, DTF Printer has been upgraded from 2 head to 5 head. Can be predicted in the future 7, 9, and 11-head printers will also be stabilized smoothly. While printing speeds in the DTF industry will continue to increase, the real challenge will be perfecting the drying technology for the film.

In DTF printing, drying is crucial. Unlike other textile industries, DTF ink contains a high amount of glycol added during the pigment ink manufacturing process. If the glycol isn’t fully evaporated during the drying stage issues will arise. To ensure complete drying at faster printing speeds, it is essential to increase both the uniformity and penetration of heat inside the heater chamber, which presents a significant technical challenge. Extending the tunnel length of the shaker alone doesn’t guarantee proper drying.

Now, we have also done a lot of research on Powder shaking machine to keep up with the speed of the printer. Our newly launched DS-56D touch screen Powder shaking machine can better dry and fix the color of PET Film.

1. Belt guide type 600*600MM temperature zone
2. 2.4 heating pipes, 1 front heating plate, independent switch, thyristor adjustable power
3. Speed 0-30m²/ hour, one key to switch the dual-head/four-head printer working mode
4. Removable front heating plate
5. Smart touch screen panel, integrated display Settings, program can be adapted
6. Automatic stop suspension: 2 minutes no action automatically stop heating
7. Independent control of suction film before and after

Lastly film quality is critical. To withstand fast printing speeds and the intense heat of long shaker tunnels, the coating on the film must adapt and evolve. At Disen we are continuously developing new solutions to meet the demands of these rapid advancements in DTF printing and we are seeing positive results.

In the near future, more and more printers will work on DTF printers, and DTF printing technology is also accelerating.Companies that can provide stable shakers and high-quality film will have the opportunity to greatly increase their market share.
