Vertical PowderTower Redefines DTF Printing with Space-Saving Design and Unmatched Flexibility
LÜDENSCHEID | Germany – December 2024 – The PowderTower is setting a new standard in DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing technology, combining innovative design, advanced features, and seamless usability. Compact, versatile, and highly functional, the PowderTower is the world’s first portable DTF printing system capable of fitting through standard door frames with ease.
Key Features of PowderTower from InkTECH
Space-Saving Design and Ergonomic Features The PowderTower’s integrated printer setup ensures maximum space efficiency while delivering unparalleled working comfort. Its eye-level roll-up device simplifies roll assembly, making it intuitive and user-friendly. The system supports roll widths of up to 60cm, catering to various printing needs.
Enhanced Powder Application with the Pulverbox The Pulverbox features a drive for shovel rails that gently sprinkles the print medium with HotMelt instead of pulling it through powder, preserving the quality of the print. The box is effortlessly removable with one hand—no need to disconnect plugs or cables—ensuring quick and hassle-free powder replacement. For additional flexibility, optional extra powder boxes are available, eliminating the need for container cleaning when switching powders like Blockout.
Advanced Filtration System The PowderTower’s integrated filter system is designed for optimal performance and safety. Operating on a recirculation principle, the filter system prevents glycol drips commonly associated with high-speed film printing. Wide air passages and an internal collection tray ensure clean and efficient operation.
Efficient Heating Mechanism Powerful halogen heating elements enable rapid gelling of DTF prints. With a standby power level of just 20%, the heating system minimizes energy spikes and starting currents. Adjustable basic heating output allows customization based on printer model and speed.
Innovative Roll-Up Unit The roll-up unit simplifies the loading and changing of rolls. Equipped with attachment discs and an automatic gear mechanism, the unit ensures quick and secure roll changes, enhancing overall efficiency.
Optional Single-Sheet Printing For smaller jobs, the PowderTower includes an optional pull-out device that collects single-sheet prints for manual powdering and gelling. This feature is ideal for quick, on-demand printing tasks.
User-Friendly Touch Panel Control The intuitive touch panel control system offers detailed menus, parameter customization, and real-time diagnostics. Warning messages, instructions, and multilingual support ensure a safe and efficient user experience. Customizable interface options further enhance usability.
Film Feeding Aid An automatic feed mechanism streamlines the initial film loading process, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. This feature ensures a smooth and effortless setup for any operator.
Modular and Customizable Design The modular architecture of the PowderTower allows for quick and easy component replacement. Operators can replace key elements like the pulverizer, roll-up unit, and front panel with minimal downtime, ensuring continuous production and minimal disruptions.
Safety and Comfort With integrated sensors, actuators, and a non-optional filter system, the PowderTower prioritizes occupational health and safety. Low-voltage power supply and non-conductive cladding further enhance its safety features. An emergency stop switch provides immediate power disconnection in case of emergencies.
Universal Compatibility for Most DTF Printers
Designed for compatibility with most DTF printers on the market, the PowderTower accommodates existing unwinding units, making it a universally adaptable solution. Optional accessories such as a rollable assembly holder and notebook mounting bracket add to its versatility.
