Screen Printer single colour line

RSS 250/330 Flat Screen Printing Machines


The Rapid roll fed Screen Printer was designed as a cost effective machine for the printing of high quality decals, touch panels, electronic circuits, labels, ceramic transfers, and industrial products.

The machines use the flat screen system with an adjustable snap angle device for high quality printing. The print head is driven by a unique servomotor system which has many advantages over conventional air cylinder driven machines.

The main benefits are: virtual maintenance freedom, constant stroke speed, no air consumption and quiet operation. Squeegee and flood blade actuation is by small air cylinders with pressure and angle adjustment. Vacuum is used to stabilise the web during the printing cycle, and also to provide accurate web tension control during the pull stroke.

Drying is available in a combinatin of UV and impinged turbulent hot air to suit customers requirements, Flash IR is also available to request. To reduce web heating and irradiation the UV is shuttered, using the rotary shutter reflector, every time the web stops during the print cycle. This allows a wide range of plastic and filmic substrates to be processed using UV inks where previously they would have to have been processed flat sheet and conveyor dried.

The RSS range does not feature an integral unwind or rewind and this allows the customer to chose the Rapid unit which best suits their needs. The option is always available to run the RSS in line with more print stations, at any time expanding the colour/pass ability of the machine, or any other Rapid free standing printer, converter or guillotine.

All machines are built to comply with European standards and are guarded to AS4024.2.
