Brochure Features & Processing Modes

The original marketing brochure highlighted three distinct production modes built into a single, compact floor footprint:

1) Roll-to-Roll Production

Designed for high-speed continuous transfer from roll-fed sublimation paper onto polyester fabrics, fashion textiles, or banner substrates.

2) Piece-by-Piece Processing (Sublimax 160 T Model)

Equipped with a front-loading flat extension table. This allowed operators to lay down pre-cut fabrics (like sportswear panels or customised blanks) onto roll-fed sublimation transfer paper.

3) Direct Ink Fixation / Reactivation

Used to post-bake or cure fabrics that had direct disperse or direct dye-sub inks printed straight onto the textile fibres by a digital printer.

Key Technical Advantages Highlighted by Flexa

• No-Drain Heating Elements: The internal heating rods can be swapped out independently without needing to drain the internal synthetic heating oil chamber.
• Uniform Heat Distribution: The pressurised oil chamber prevents edge-to-edge colour shifts or gradient drops across the 1600mm width.
• Independent Belt Tensioning: Dual pneumatic controls manage the left and right tension independently to prevent synthetic textile shrinkage or wrinkling as it moves past the cylinder.
