ROQ Ready Automatic pretreatment machine | ROQ

Description

Pretreating a textile before DTG printing requires a bit of time and handling with several employees. To meet this need, Roq International has invented The Roq Ready, a complete automatic machine, specially designed for DTG pretreatment.

This industrial equipment sprays the pretreat, dries the textiles and smooths the garments quickly, all without changing the t-shirt support or plate. Simply place the shirt to be pre-treated, and the ROQ Ready takes care of the process alone.

Ideal for large productions, it provides a production capacity of up to 250 T-shirts per hour with only one or two operators.

Technical description of the Roq Ready.

The Roq Ready is a high-performance and modular industrial machine. It stands out for its advanced features. It includes several specialized stations, adapted to the specific needs of Direct To Garment printing.

DTG Pre-treatment stations:

• 1 station for light textiles equipped with 3 ceramic nozzles.
• 1 station for dark textiles with 11 stainless steel nozzles.

Pressing stations:

• 2 stations for hot pressing for drying and smoothing the sweatshirt.

Flash cure unit stations:

• 2 stations equipped with 14,000 W flashers.

Capacity:

Allows the pre-treatment of sweatshirts, cotton t-shirts up to 500 x 700 mm.

In addition, it adapts to the specific needs of each company producing a large series of textile customisations.

Customisable configuration to meet various requirements.

Recording of numerous pretreatment dosage parameters depending on the type of garment.

Perfect integration into high-speed Direct To Garment printing production environments.

The key advantages of Roq Ready for DTG printing.

With a strong presence on the European and global market, ROQ S supports companies of all sizes in their growth, their need to increase their production. The innovative Portuguese brand offers modular and high-performance textile printing machines that increase their productivity, while naturally reducing production costs.

This DTG pretreatment machine automatic ROQ meets many needs. It provides high-performance solutions to professionals in digital textile printing.

A Roq Ready DTG printing pretreatment machine with one operator is equivalent to:

3 operators working on:

• 2 machines like the Pretreatmaker V.
• 1 DTG conveyor dryer
• 2 SEFA heat presses, double platens, DUPLEX AIR PRO V3

The ROQ Ready allows you to record many pretreatment dosage parameters depending on the textile (t-shirt or sweatshirt), its composition (cotton, cotton and polyester blend).

Increased productivity with a small footprint.

Processes up to 250 garments per hour.

Significantly increases throughput compared to traditional methods.

You get fast and consistent results.

Fully automated, 3 steps in 1.

Reduces labor requirements thanks to integrated processes: the pre-treatment phase, drying of the organic sweatshirt and smoothing before printing.

Once set up, ROQ Ready simplifies the DTG pre-treatment process.

Allows you to record and set the precise pre-treatment dosage according to the weight or composition of the textile (100% organic cotton or 85% cotton and 15% polyester fabrics).

Pretreat a cotton t-shirt with a DTG pretreat machine, conveyor dryer and heat press.

Pretreatment with multiple DTG machines and a DTG dryer remains the most common solution for DTG printing. Here are the different during steps to follow:

Pretreat the T-shirt with a DTG pretreatment machine, like the Pretreatmaker IV or Pretreatmaker V. Place the t-shirt, pretreat it, remove it.

Dry the garment in a drying conveyor. (The average capacity reaches 80 / 120 pieces per hour.)

Smooth the textile with a heat press.

Each step requires constant attention to ensure a good result. There are several disadvantages of the process:

The time required per garment remains high. For example, it takes 2 minutes to place, pretreat and remove a hoodie. Correctly in a single-station DTG pretreatment machine.

A person must be mobilised full time to supervise all operations on his equipment.

Results may vary depending on handling.

Pretreating a cotton garment individually is less suited to the needs of companies seeking speed and uniformity in their production.

Manutech-Print carefully tested the Roq Ready.

The excellent performance of the Roq Ready has been rigorously tested in real conditions. Manutech Print tested the Roq Ready at Roq International in Portugal. We used a Brother GTX Pro printer and our pre-treatment optimized for the GTX series printer. Tests demonstrated exceptional speed, precise application and ease of use.

The results confirm its efficiency and reliability. Follow our tests in our video.
