Excellent reputation for consistent temperature
Diferro “DP” Series calender heat press has evolved and includes many unique new features. Diferro have created a truly cost-effective machine that is built to last, offers multiple configuration choices and the performance required for an efficient high-speed print finishing experience. Mainly used for textile transfer printing, the DP Series can also be used for other heat transfer applications
The drum is made of ST44 drawn steel pipe and all standard models are finished with surface grinding. On request the drum surface can also be plated with either chrome or Teflon. Inside the drum is one single heating unit that consists of three pieces. The drum is filled with transfer heating oil that fills up 60% of the inner volume. The failsafe-switch mechanism helps balance the inner pressure, and will deactivate the machine should there be any issues regarding the gasses generated by heated oil so to avoid injury or damage. The heat sensor is placed on the surface of the drum, this enables more accurate readings and provides better print results. Maximum Working Temperature and Temperature Restrictions can be easily adjusted via the Touch-Screen Panel.
THE FELT BELT
All of Diferro’s machines are equipped with 100% Nomex seamless industrial felt belts that are reinforced with Kevlar material to avoid stretching. The expected lifetime for the belt on this unit is between 3 and 5 years depending on use. To eliminate movement of the felt belt to either side the machine is built with an automated-felt centring mechanism. The felt tension and the felt centring system are both air-operated. If the compressor fails to supply the required air for the system, the machine halts and alerts the operator to prevent lasting damage to the belt.
