A NEW Solution to Dye Sublimation Material Handling
Models #61538 and #61539 – coming in early 2024
The Power Dye Sub On-A-Roll® Lifter & Spindle Trolley are essential tools for streamlining the handling of freshly printed rolls of fabric and transfer paper in the dye sublimation printing process. The system eliminates the need for multiple personnel, as one individual can operate it.
Foster’s motorized Lifter and Spindle Trolley work in tandem to prevent ink bleeds and smearing, which can result from pressure or contact during handling. The retractable telescoping arms hold the roll spindles securely, ensuring no direct contact with the printed material.
Safety latches on the trolley hooks prevent accidental dislodging of the spindle and media roll during transportation. Additionally, a foam pad lines the media pocket, providing a protective cushion to prevent dents or impressions from hard surfaces that could lead to ink bleed.
There are 4 simple steps for using Foster’s Dye Sub On-A-Roll® Lifter and Trolley from print to finish:
STEP 1:
Place the freshly printed roll onto the padded pocket of the Spindle Trolley, which accommodates rolls up to 15” in diameter and 126” wide. The padding extends 1” over each tray edge to prevent bumping against its pocket.
STEP 2:
Remove the spindle from the media roll and place it in the open spindle pocket.
STEP 3:
Insert the other spindle into the media roll.
STEP 4:
Use the Power Dye Sub On-A-Roll® Lifter to pick up the roll with the spindle and load it into the calendering machine. The lifter arms are adjustable to hold rolls from 72” to 126” long. The safety latches on the hook arms secure the spindle to prevent it from falling out during transport.
