Habanero is a fully portable infrared flash cure system for automatic screen printing presses. It features a powerful infrared panel, digital temperature controls, operation indicator light, solid-state circuitry, and a fully insulated panel guard to minimize exterior heat. The sturdy, height-adjustable stand features floor-leveling wheels. Hood-mounted controls give it a sleek, clean appearance. These versatile freestanding flash cure units are easy to move around screen printing shops

The freestanding Red Chili D quartz flash cure system uses medium-wave sealed tungsten filament quartz lamps, that feature adjustable intensity and it works with both automatic and manual screen printing presses. Instant-on flash cure technology conserves energy by reverting to standby status when the screen printing press is idle, and the curing lamps are divided into three flashing zones, which can be operated independently or in any combination. Using fewer flash cure zones on small screen print areas reduces ambient heat, lowers energy costs, and leads to faster substrate cooling.

The Serrano infrared flash cure system uses a smooth AC electric drive and roller-bearing assemblies for dependable performance and long life. The shuttle on this freestanding flash cure unit can be controlled by an optional foot pedal or integrated with the screen printing press through an optional communication cable for automated operation. Serrano features include adjustable stand height, control box cooling fan, power level control, and power indicator light. Serrano is a versatile and powerful flash cure unit.

M&R’s Tacana D is the ultimate integrated quartz flash cure system. Its sealed tungsten filament quartz lamps feature adjustable intensity, and its instant-on flash cure technology conserves energy by reverting to standby when the screen printing press is idle. The digitally-controlled curing lamps are divided into three flashing zones that can be operated independently or in any combination. Using fewer flash cure zones on small screen print areas reduces ambient heat, lowers energy costs, and leads to faster substrate cooling.

Premium single-layer and sandwiched triple-layer squeegee blades, available in a variety of durometer ratings, feature color-coding and labeling, part numbers, and sharpen-to lines.

M&R’s unique yet simple Winged Floodbar ink containment system helps keep ink under the squeegee and away from the edges of the frame.

M&R’s Flocker 3000 makes it easy to add tightly-registered multi-color flocking capability to most M&R automatic textile presses. The standalone unit has a 38 x 43 cm (15” x 17”) or 50 x 70 cm (20” x 28”) flock opening, and accommodates frames of (W x L) 66 x 79 cm (26” x 31”) or 79 x 109 cm (31” x 43”). Flocker 3000 is activated by the print carriage, and it’s compatible with M&R’s print-start/print-finish feature, M&R’s Optical No-Shirt Detector, and M&R’s Skip-Shirt foot pedal. Flocker 3000’s dosing brush is driven by a pneumatic cylinder, with speed settings adjusted by a flow control.

i-Kiss helps improve print quality by flattening garment fibers immediately prior to printing. Many garments are prone to fibrillation. This tendency of fibers to protrude through the printed image can detract from an otherwise perfect print. i-Kiss is normally mounted in the printhead that immediately precedes the underbase coat in order to minimize the time between compressing the fibers and printing on them. Much like a garment iron, i-Kiss uses heat and pressure to flatten and stabilize substrate fibers.

Kool-Mist automatically cools down screen prints and minimizes after-flash tack by applying a high-pressure atomized spray of water and food-grade silicone. Positioning Kool-Mist between the flash cure unit and the next printhead eliminates the need for an open station. A single proximity switch and mounting bracket make it easy to integrate Kool-Mists with screen printing presses.

M&R’s Qwik-Klamp modular squeegee clamping system makes it a snap to assemble and disassemble squeegee holders and blades. Qwik-Klamp’s modular base unit is capable of clamping squeegee holders and blades up to 56 cm (22”). The modular base unit can be joined with one or more expansion units to enable clamping squeegee holders and blades in 56 cm (22”) increments up to 112 cm (44”), 168 cm (66”), 224 cm (88”) or longer, making Qwik-Klamp ideal for squeegees used in Graphics printing and in oversize and all-over T-shirt printing.

The Turnabout automatic ink mixer employs a blade that imparts a lifting and rolling action to screen printing inks. That, coupled with Turnabout’s rotating action, ensures evenly blended inks, even reaching ink that typically settles on the sides and bottoms of containers. The container clamping system is self-centering and adjusts to accommodate a wide range of container sizes.
