Vacuum Pallet for screen printing on flat substrates introduced by Vastex
Vastex 67x95cm vacuum pallet with integral 120V or 240V vacuum pump
V
astex International has introduced a new 67x95cm Vacuum Pallet to hold poster board, corrugated plastic and other flat substrates in place quickly and firmly on a standard textile screen printing press.
The all-steel pallet contains hundreds of perforations across a 64x91cm suction grid, holding materials with vacuum more securely than possible with glue or quick stretch. It is offered self-powered in 120V or 240V models with integral blower or with a universal hose adapter for connection to a customer- supplied shop vacuum or central vacuum system. Equipped with a leveling feature to assure even transfer of ink, the pallet allows printing on flat stock slightly larger than the pallet itself, and can withstand the heat of repeated flash cure cycles.
It is mounted as standard on a heavy-duty pallet arm that slides onto the rotor arm of Vastex V-2000HD series presses, and is secured in place using two lock knobs. It can also be mounted to the pallet arms of other manual presses having adequate weight capacity. The company also offers a smaller 46x61cm vacuum pallet that can be utilised on both Vastex V2000HD and lighter-duty V1000 presses.
