Chiossi e Cavazzuti probe thermometer. Measure real temperature and avoid curing defects in textile production.

Description

In textile printing, curing temperature directly impacts ink durability and transfer quality. The Chiossi e Cavazzuti probe thermometer measures the actual temperature on the textile, inside a DTG conveyor dryer, under a heat press, after a flash unit or on a heated platen.

The operator works with real measured values rather than machine estimates.

The probe is available in 4.5 m or 11 m lengths to measure temperature at the core of the dryer. It captures both air heat and textile surface heat and withstands up to 200 °C.

Thermal control in real production conditions

Screen printing Conveyor dryers display a set temperature, but the actual temperature varies depending on the textile, belt speed, airflow and production load.

The thermometer measures the heat effectively applied to the textile and limits print defects caused by incorrect plastisol ink curing.

The probe controls:

Exit temperature of the dryer;
Pressing temperature in DTF or transfer;
Temperature after a screen printing flash;
Temperature on a heated platen.

Benefits of a probe thermometer in textile production

Temperature control prevents defects caused by improper ink curing: cracking plastisol ink, peeling transfers, yellowing fabric or loss of elasticity. The workshop adjusts settings based on real measurements and improves production consistency.

The operator sets drying parameters faster, reduces calibration errors and achieves consistent print quality from one production run to another.

Applications in screen printing, DTG and DTF

The thermometer measures temperature with ±0.3% accuracy and updates readings 2.5 times per second.

The thermal probe is used to:

Calibrate a DTG / screen printing conveyor dryer after installation or ink change
Check plastisol ink curing (160 °C to 170 °C)
Control plastisol ink drying;
Measure temperature during heat transfer;
Validate flash settings in screen printing;
Identify cold spots in a conveyor dryer;
Measure actual textile temperature during production.

Use with heat press and flash units

This thermometer is designed for workshops using thermal equipment in textile production. It is particularly suitable for:

Textile screen printing workshops
DTG workshops with conveyor dryers
DTF workshops with ovens or dryers
Heat transfer workshops
Production managers
Maintenance technicians

Usage tips in textile workshops

Place the probe halfway up in the heating zone to measure the actual temperature at textile level. Then compare it with the machine reading. Any difference indicates a temperature adjustment is required.

Probe thermometer or infrared thermometer: which to choose?

The infrared thermometer measures surface temperature without contact and allows quick checks at the dryer exit or after pressing. The Chiossi e Cavazzuti probe thermometer measures the actual temperature inside the dryer or directly on the textile during the heating cycle.

In textile production, both tools are complementary: the infrared thermometer is used for quick checks, while the probe thermometer is used to adjust machines and validate drying parameters in real conditions.
