Vastex introduces new DTF Powder-To-Film system

Manufacturer and supplier of a broad range of equipment and accessories for DTG printers and screen printers, Vastex has expanded its product range with the launch of a new PDF-100 DTF Powder-To-Film system. It uniformly coats DTF films with adhesive powder, improving DTF printing performance and operator safety. In general, most shops doing DTF have been hand-coating the films using open plastic containers that expose shop personnel to adhesive dust and require operator time and attention to obtain reliable results. In this, Vastex system provides uniform coverage without dusting and spillage, reducing waste and freeing staff to optimise production time.

The newly introduced PTF-100 consists of a steel case on a stand, with a clear polycarbonate door set at an angle. It comes with two identical cartridges, each of which can hold approximately 1.4kg of adhesive powder. To operate, a filled cartridge is inserted at the top of the unit, and an empty cartridge at the bottom. An operator positions the wet DTF printed film on the application tray, print side up. Once the polycarbonate door is closed tightly, the operator can adjust the angle of the powder deflector and the amount of powder to be released.
