I. Process Problem Prevention

1. Inaccurate Pattern Registration

Paste Adjustment: Ensure the paste on the rubber guide belt is uniform and of appropriate viscosity, avoiding excessive thickness or thinness.

Guide Belt Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the guide belt surface to prevent residual paste from affecting pattern registration accuracy.

Screen Arrangement: Arrange closely related screens adjacent to each other, avoiding horizontal straight-line overlap.

2. Squeegee Lines:

Squeegee Maintenance: Keep the squeegee straight, regularly check for nicks, and replace promptly.

Rotary Screen Inspection: Before use, check the clarity of the mesh openings and the smoothness of the screen walls to prevent adhesive from seeping into the inner wall.

3. Exposed Areas:

Paste Filtration: Fully dissolve dyes, chemicals, and auxiliaries during paste preparation, and filter the paste to prevent particles and impurities from entering.

Rotary Screen Selection: Select appropriate rotary screens to avoid insufficient color acquisition due to mesh blockage.

4. Printing Process

Paste Viscosity: Reduce paste viscosity to ensure optimal printing results.

Semi-finished Product Drying: Ensure semi-finished products are fully dry to prevent paste penetration.

5. Printing Machine Clogging:

Environmental Cleanliness: Maintain a clean printing environment to reduce fiber lint and impurities.

Semi-finished Product Quality: Improve semi-finished product quality and reduce impurity contamination.

II. Mechanical Fault Prevention

1. Belt Misalignment:

Tension Adjustment: Regularly check belt tension to ensure uniformity.

Correction Device: Repair or replace malfunctioning correction devices.

2. Printing Machine Twisting/Broken Screen:

Speed ​​Control: Control the speed difference between the belt and the rotary screen to prevent excessive speed.

Gap Optimization: Adjust the gap between the belt and the rotary screen to prevent one-sided transmission twisting.

3. Pneumatic System Faults:

Component Inspection:* Regularly inspect pneumatic components to ensure the gas is pure and dry.

Maintenance: Regularly clean the pneumatic system to prevent blockages.

III. Accessories and Consumables Maintenance

Printing Solvent: Regularly check the quality of the solidifying solvent to ensure effective color fixing.

Teflon Conveyor Belt: Regularly check the wear and tear of the conveyor belt and replace it promptly.

Foamed Sponge Strips: Regularly check the aging of the sealing strips to ensure effective sealing.

IV. Operating Procedures

Pre-start Inspection: Confirm all components are in good working order and turn off the power.

Parameter Adjustment: Adjust the speed and pressure according to the fabric, avoiding excessive or insufficient pressure.

Fabric Preparation: Lay the fabric flat and secure it to the printing table, avoiding wrinkles.

Pattern Installation: Mount the pattern plate onto the printing roller, ensuring a secure installation.

Start-up: Observe the effect and adjust parameters as needed.

V. Environmental Control

Cleaning: Regularly clean the equipment and environment to prevent impurities from entering.

Temperature and Humidity Control: Maintain stable temperature and humidity in the printing environment to prevent changes in the performance of the printing paste.

Ventilation System: Ensure good ventilation in the printing workshop to prevent the accumulation of harmful gases.
