Heat Press Calenders for Sublimation
Heat transfer calenders: the electromagnetic ERIKA EK4219EM (200 to 380 m/h) and the thermal oil EK2619EM, plus the Diferro MP Series with PLC control and a 2-year warranty.
The calender is the heart of the sublimation process: it uses heat and pressure to fix the ink from the transfer paper onto the fabric. Choosing the right one defines the productivity of the entire plant, a 700 m/h printer needs a calender that keeps up.
We offer two technologies: the ERIKA EK EM line, with the electromagnetic EK4219EM (420 mm drum, 25 kW, 200 to 380 m/h) and the thermal oil EK2619EM (260 mm drum, 10 kW, 100 to 250 m/h), both 1900 mm wide with touchscreen PLC and SCR control, and the Diferro MP Series with thermal oil heating, PLC control, weekly scheduling, automatic shutdown, and a 2-year mechanical warranty.
Both lines include installation, protective paper, and guidance to size the machine to your printer and fabric type.
Frequently asked questions
Electromagnetic or thermal oil: which one is right for me?
The electromagnetic model (EK4219EM) heats up faster and uses no oil (less maintenance), ideal for intensive production at 200 to 380 m/h. The thermal oil models (EK2619EM and MP Series) have a lower upfront cost and very stable temperature for constant production. We advise you based on your electricity rates and volume.
What size calender do I need?
It depends on your fabric width and printer speed: a 1.8 m printer pairs with 1900 mm wide calenders; the drum diameter (260 or 420 mm) defines the speed, the larger the diameter, the longer the contact time and the more m/h.
What warranty do the calenders carry?
The Diferro MP Series includes a 2-year mechanical and 1-year electrical warranty. The entire line is backed by spare parts and local technical service in Colombia with coverage across Latin America.
