Steam-X 1850 RDA

In a world first, the Steam-X has revolutionised the digital inkjet textile printing industry. The Steam-X is the missing link that has allowed for the continuous digital textile inkjet printing and curing of fabrics.

Extremely versatile, the Steam-X cures fabrics printed with any type of digital printing dyes, i.e. acid, disperse and reactive.

The Steam-X can be used with any digital inkjet printer available. The printing speeds of the inkjet printers are not compromised. The fabric travel through the Steam-X is synchronised with the printing of the inkjet printer.

Simple Smart Printing

Digital inkjet printer is the most recent innovation in the textile industry, however the curing of fabrics has been performed separately after the printing process has been completed, therefore causing delays in finishing. Steam-X is the solution, which has streamlined the process into one continuous procedure. The Steam-X features a fabric feed-in mechanism, with edge control alignment, that feeds fabric directly into an inkjet printer. Following the printing process, the fabric travels through the steam chamber of the Steam-X, where temperatures of up to 180°C are reached and therefore curing of the printed dyes is completed. Following the steam process the fabric is rolled up automatically.

Superior Steam Curing

Steam-X automatically feeds fabric into the inkjet printer, then through its built-in steam chamber where the dye is fixed. The fabric then feeds out of the unit and is automatically rolled - all in one continuous process.

Whether you're using reactive, disperse or acid dyes, Steam-X cures it all in the same simple process. The unit is operated from a compact control with LCD display, with clear step by step instructions, the temperature is controlled and regulated using a temperature controller with digital output. Also included is a 20 litre water tank, steam generator and stainless steel steam chamber.

Optional features:

Monitoring software to track the performance of the Steam-X in real time. Outputs such as temperature, humidity and production performance collected and via a computer link can be stored in Excel file format.
