Pu EPDM Rubber Rollers for Digital Textile Flag Printer Fabric Printer Roller Feed Pinch Drive Roller

Textile Printing Machines (Primarily industrial rotary/screen printing machines, and some digital printers)
Core Characteristics: Traditional methods use rotary/screen printing, while modern methods increasingly use digital inkjet units. Processes continuous rolls of fabric. Requires high-precision color registration (multi-color alignment), where tension control is paramount. Belt conveyor (blanket) systems are the mainstream transport method.

Key Roller Requirements (Belt Conveyor System):

1. Blanket Drive Roll: The absolute core! Drives the entire blanket loop. Requirements: Extremely high dimensional accuracy and stability, extremely high wear resistance, excellent compression set resistance, high coefficient of friction (with blanket underside), heat resistance (downstream drying/curing), resistance to moisture/chemical agents (print pastes, cleaning agents). Special-formulation EPDM or high-quality NBR are preferred. Surface treatments (e.g., lathe-cut spiral grooves) are common.

2. Blanket Tension Roll: Adjusts blanket tension. Requires high rigidity, wear resistance, dimensional stability. Typically also a rubber-covered roll (EPDM/NBR) or a steel roll.

3. Blanket Guiding Roll (Web Guiding Roll): Automatically adjusts blanket lateral position to prevent tracking/running off. Requires smooth rotation and high precision. Rubber-covered roll (EPDM/NBR) or steel roll.

4. Blanket Support Rolls / Carrier Rolls / Idler Rolls: Positioned under the blanket to support the weight of the blanket and fabric, preventing sagging. Numerous in quantity. Require wear resistance and smooth rotation. Commonly steel rolls rubber-covered (EPDM/NBR) or engineering plastic rolls.

5. Feed-in Roll / Infeed Roll: Pulls fabric onto the blanket. Requires good friction, no fabric damage, resistance to moisture/chemicals. EPDM/NBR/PU.

6. Fabric Press Roll / Lamination Roll: Presses the fabric onto the blanket (often using a temporary adhesive), preventing shifting. Requires uniform pressure, good elasticity, wear resistance, resistance to adhesive cleaning. Commonly silicone rubber rolls (good elasticity, low adhesion) or PU rolls.

7. Take-off Roll / Outfeed Roll: Peels the printed fabric off the blanket and conveys it out. Requires good friction; sometimes needs special surface treatment (e.g., threading) to aid peeling. EPDM/NBR/PU.

8. (Digital Unit) Blanket/Fabric Support Roll (aka Platen Roll): Positioned directly under the print heads, providing precise support for the blanket/fabric to ensure constant print gap/distance. Requires high precision, high rigidity, wear resistance. Typically a hard rubber-covered roll (EPDM) or metal roll.

9. (Rotary Printing) Central Impression Cylinder (CIC) / Pressure Cylinder: A large steel roll covered with a thick rubber layer; the rotary screen rotates above it during squeegee printing. Requires extremely high compressive strength, elastic recovery, wear resistance, chemical resistance, heat resistance. Special-formulation NBR or EPDM; the thickness and hardness of the rubber layer are crucial parameters.
