We need water supply to clean the belt.

We should daily change the water in the water tank. Additionally, it depends on uses of machine and type of fabric.

No

No, it can hamper the printing quality.

No, we can?t install machine on the slant area. Room surface should be even and smooth.

Glue is the combination of three different chemicals (namely prima, therma & perma) and two solvent (namely cleantek and solvtek).

We apply the glue coating to enhance the belt stickiness and pass the fabric evenly without wrinkles.

There are two main reasons when one should need to recoat the glue:

• Fabric is not sticking
• Glue is removed partly from the belt

Before applying the new glue coating, we should remove the thick glue layer from the belt. Follow these steps to remove the glue coating:

• Prepare cleaner which is dedicated to using glue.
• Wipe cloth or paper towel with purified water. Place wipe clothes on belt to cover belt.
• Pour cleaner liquid (Solvtek) onto wipe clothes.
• Wait 5 minutes to dissolve glue.
• Wipe dissolved glue and cleaner by wipe clothes.
• After wiping out the part, turn the belt and repeat wiping until wipe out over all.
• Spray or pour purified water onto the belt.
• Wipe out cleaner on the belt by paper towel.
• After clean up the part, turn belt and repeat cleaning until clean up over all. Remove cover sheet which covers washing unit.
• Finally, remove remained cover sheets, and keep the belt dry.

Cleantek solution is used for the renewing/refreshing the tackiness of the Perma adhesive. In digital printing, the adhesive film must be even, thin and hard (to maintain accurate distance in between print head and fabric). The Cleantek removes foreign elements, like dust and micro fibers, from the top layer, hence enhancing the adhesion property of the Perma. If there is no improvement using the Cleantek, it means it?s time for a coat of the Perma.

Alcohol, Methyl Alcohol, Ethyl Alcohol, Isopropyl Alcohol, Ester, Butyl Acetate, Ethyl Acetate etc.

Aromatic, Benzene, Toluene, Xylene, Aliphatic, Hexane, Cyclohexane, Ketone, Acetone, Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), Chlorinated Hydrocarbon, Methyl Chloride, (Mono) Chlorbenzene, Chloroform, Trichloroethane, Trichloroethylene, Ether, Ethyl Ether, Tetrahydrofurane (THF) etc.

Follow these steps before applying the glue coating:

• Keep the ventilators and exhaust fans ready
• Run the Wash Cycle from HMI, simultaneously belt can be cleaned by wiping with cloth
• Lift up the Press Roller and remove the fabric, if any
• Put masking PVC tape on both edges of the Conveyor Belt, by simultaneously moving the belt through HMI in slow speed
• Wear gloves, goggles and face mask for safety
• Ready the Prima, Therma, Perma, Cleaning liquid, Buds, cloths etc

To ensure long life and better performance of print head, follow these instructions:

• Check nozzle status regularly to avoid nozzle blockage
• Don't use expiry ink
• Clean the capping station
• Capping station must be wet
• Avoid tangle of print head with fabric.
• Always use clean sponge roller
• Don't use dry sponge roller to clean head
• Humidity maintain 35 to 80 percent.
• Temperature maintain 10 to 28 degree celcius
• Avoid uneven glue coating

Belt is an important part of the machine, thus belt and it?s position should be monitored time to time and always be running well inside the rollers. Belt maintenance process consists belt shifting control and belt centering process.

Conveyor Belt must run in the center. If the belt is shifting more than 5mm in 1 hour toward a side, then one should follow the below given instructions: a)Wait for the completion of the current printing process. If the print command repeats, then immediately stop giving the next print command for printing. b)Takeout the fabric, lower down the tub, and run glue cycle in reverse direction with the 70% speed. c)Rotate the Belt in the reverse or opposite direction until it comes in the Center. Once the belt has positioned centrally, stop the glue cycle.

Follow the below given instructions to control the conveyor belt shifting: ?Belt shifting can be controlled ?on the fly? as well as when print is stopped. ?To control belt shifting, move the Shifting Control knob in the required direction. ?In the old version, the Slider Block screw has to be loosen. To control belt shifting, holding the Adjust Roller and slightly pull or push the sliding block as per requirement. After the required alignment is achieved, tighten all the screws.

Follow the below given instructions to maintain the sponge roller:

• Never use dry sponge roller
• Only use suggested glue
• Only use suggested inks
• Don't use washing system during removing glue
• Don't use washing system during apply glue
• Timely perform tub maintenance process
