ROQ STORM | Automated Textile Cleaning

Description

Using the ROQ FLOCK leaves residual fibres on garments. These particles quickly become visible on dark fabrics and large printed areas. At the end of the production line, operators must manually clean each garment before folding or packaging. 

The ROQ STORM automates textile cleaning after drying. The system removes flock fibres, dust and residues present on the garment before folding or packaging.

The operator collects the T-shirt at the dryer exit, places it inside the textile cleaning system and the garment comes out clean, ready for packaging. The workshop reduces end-of-line handling and maintains high production throughput on large flock printing runs.

Automated textile cleaning after the drying tunnel

Textile flocking naturally generates airborne fibres during production. Even after passing through a drying tunnel, some of these fibres remain on the garments.

Without a dedicated cleaning system, operators must:

• Blow off garments manually;
• Remove remaining fibres before packaging;
• Visually inspect every garment;
• Clean packing stations more frequently.

The ROQ STORM automates these operations.

It automatically removes:

• Remaining flock fibres on garments;
• Textile dust left after drying;
• Visible particles on solid prints and dark garments;
• Residues that affect the finished appearance of the garment.

Each garment then moves to the folding or packaging area with a cleaner textile surface.

ROQ STORM technical specifications

These specifications help prepare the installation of the ROQ STORM in the workshop:

• Length: 2,200 mm;
• Height: 2,975 mm;
• Width: 850 mm;
• Maximum suction width: 785 mm;
• Maximum garment length: 900 mm;
• Power consumption: 3 kVA;
• Power supply: 230V + N / 2×230V.

A solution designed for high-volume flock production lines

The ROQ STORM suits textile screen printing workshops producing flock printed garments in large volumes.

This textile cleaning system reduces manual operations at the end of the production line and helps maintain high throughput up to the packaging stage.

The ROQ STORM brings clear production benefits for:

• Black garments where flock fibres remain highly visible;
• Heavy cotton hoodies and sweatshirts;
• Long flock printing runs;
• Workshops looking to reduce manual cleaning before packaging.

The cleaning process remains consistent from one garment to the next without slowing production flow.

Simple ROQ STORM installation

The ROQ STORM operates as a standalone unit positioned after the drying tunnel.

The operator simply takes the garment from the dryer exit and places it into the system before packaging.

The unit accepts garments up to:

• 785 mm wide;
• 900 mm long.

These dimensions cover the majority of garments used in textile screen printing:

• T-shirts;
• Hoodies;
• Sweatshirts;
• Large-format textile items.

The ROQ STORM within a complete textile flocking line

The ROQ STORM complements ROQ equipment dedicated to textile flocking:

• ROQ ONE for textile adhesive application;
• ROQ FLOCK for electrostatic fibre application;
• ROQ ASP for removing excess flock fibres on the carousel;
• ROQ STORM for final garment cleaning after drying.

These ROQ screen printing carousel accessories help automate the entire textile flock production process.
