Flash Ager For Two Phase Prints

This machine has been specially designed to wet out the fabric for two-phase steaming. Two-phase printing is usually used for women cloths printed with reactive or vat dyes.

After printing and drying, the cloth passes through a chemical mangle and then into a steaming chamber for fixation.

The machine is complete with chemical pad mangle with two horizontal rollers particularly suitable for two-phase liquor application.

One chrome-plated roller contacts the printed side of the fabric whereas a viscous elastic rubber roller works on the reserve side of fabric. Special pneumatic pistons ensure a regular and uniform squeezing. A double liquor through allows applying the chemical by nipping or dipping under the rubber roller. Alternatively, the liquor can be applied on the printed side using the chrome-plated roller. A doctor blade is installed to keep the chrome-plated roller always clean.

Perfect dyestuff fixation can be obtained with steam uniformly distributed at a constant temperature in the steaming chamber.

For reactive dyes, fixation process requires about 15 seconds at 130°C using silicate or carbonate in the pad mangle. A chemical is put on the printed side of the fabric by the chrome-plated roller of the mangle.

For vat discharge fixation process, it requires 30 seconds at a temperature of 130°C.
