ROQ PULL | Automatic garment unloading system

Description

Manual garment unloading remains one of the last repetitive operations on an automated DTF production line. During continuous production, this stage quickly slows down the output of the ROQ IMPRESS.

The ROQ PULL fully automates garment removal and stacking directly after the heat press. It automatically removes garments from the platens and stacks them evenly at the end of production, ready for quality control or packaging.

Designed to operate with automated ROQ lines, the ROQ PULL improves textile output flow for DTF workshops looking to increase production speed while reducing manual handling around the carousel. This system fits perfectly into an automated DTF line workflow for workshops running continuous production on an industrial DTF machine.

Automate garment output from your ROQ automatic heat press

On long production runs, manual garment unloading often requires a dedicated operator at the end of the press. As production speed increases, repetitive handling quickly slows down workflow efficiency.

The ROQ PULL automatically collects garments from the ROQ IMPRESS platen using pneumatic clamps. It then places them onto an automatic garment stacking platform, cycle after cycle, without interruption.

The platform gradually lowers during production in order to maintain a constant stacking height. Garments remain aligned and ready for the next stages: quality control, packaging or shipping.

This automation significantly reduces operator fatigue during long production runs and limits slowdowns linked to automatic transfer press unloading.

Advantages of the ROQ PULL automatic system

The ROQ PULL improves organisation around the textile carousel:

• Fully automatic garment unloading
  The system removes garments without requiring a dedicated operator at the end of the press.
• More stable production speed
  The ROQ PULL follows the pace of the ROQ IMPRESS without creating slowdowns on an automatic textile transfer line.
• Consistent garment stacking
  Garments remain properly aligned throughout the entire production run.
• Reduced operator fatigue
  Operators can focus on production control and garment loading.

An automated textile line built around the ROQ IMPRESS

The ROQ PULL completes the automated ecosystem developed around the ROQ IMPRESS. Each module automates a stage of DTF production in order to reduce manual intervention during production.

This ROQ IMPRESS accessory suits workshops specialised in automated Print-on-Demand and textile POD production looking for smoother workflows on long production runs.

The configuration may include:

• ROQ FEED for automatic DTF transfer positioning on garments;
• ROQ IMPRESS for transfer application;
• ROQ PEEL for automatic transfer film removal;
• ROQ PULL for automatic garment removal and stacking.

This setup improves garment flow around the production line and maintains consistent speed during long runs.

Integrated functions of the ROQ PULL

The ROQ PULL includes several functions designed to simplify daily production use:

• Garment quantity adjustment per stack;
• Test cycle button;
• Automatic platform repositioning;
• Safety sensors on the clamps;
• Automatic stacking height management.

Settings can be adjusted directly from the system in order to adapt stacking during production.
