Screen Stretcher (Screen Stretching Machine)

This machine is an essential tool in the silk-screen industry for tightening silk mesh onto frames with precision tension. It ensures uniform tension across multiple frames simultaneously, enabling correct overprint and high-quality screen printing results.

Description

  • Tighten Silk Mesh: Utilizes a Tighten Silk Machine to tighten silk mesh onto various frame types, including Aluminium, Wooden, and Steel frames.
  • Air-Controlled Metal Shelf: Features an air-controlled metal shelf to ensure compact contact with the silk surface, enhancing tension accuracy.
  • Hand-Wheel Operation: Allows for precise tension adjustment using hand-wheel operation, ensuring consistent tension across all frames.
  • Rectangle Stretching Area: Connects multiple frames into a rectangle stretching area, facilitating chain-drive and trapezium whorl silk-pole-moving structure for easy tension control.
  • Four Cylinder Lamination: Utilizes four cylinders for lamination of the frame and stretching surface, adjustable to accommodate various frame thicknesses and ensure silk net quality.
