Dye Fixation Calender

The MX Series is built for production lines that need fixation after digital textile printing. It supports three dye classes and different fabric types: • Reactive dye fixation — cotton, viscose, linen: fashion textile, shirting, bedding, curtains • Acid dye fixation — wool, silk, nylon: luxury fashion, scarves, silk accessories • Disperse dye fixation — polyester: completion of partial fixation after digital printing, colour-depth boost Typical user profiles: • Digital textile printing mills (reactive / disperse / acid print lines) • Fashion and home-textile exporters • Flag, pennant and soft-signage producers • Technical textile and outdoor-fabric production For sublimation transfer printing, the MC, MM, MB or MR Series is the right choice.

The MX Series fixes digitally printed colour onto natural and blended fabric after the ink-jet stage. This is not a sublimation transfer process — there is no paper, no polyester dye migration. Reactive dye, acid dye and cotton pigment inks printed onto the substrate are cured in place by controlled heat and dwell, locking colour into the fibre so the textile is ready for wash, steam or final finishing. MX is engineered as a post-print fixation line for digital textile production. Working widths are 1900, 2200, 2600 and 3300 mm, covering everything from mid-width fashion fabric to four-metre bedding and decorative rolls. Two drum diameters are offered. The Ø320 mm drum is the standard fixation chassis — faster throughput, lower footprint, and dual duty as a sublimation transfer drum on 320D variants when a plant runs mixed digital lines. The Ø1000 mm drum is the high-dwell industrial option, built for continuous direct-to-fabric reactive-dye work where longer contact arc and deep heat penetration matter. Power scales with width on the Ø320 line: 24 kW at MX-190W-320D, 30 kW at MX-220W-320D, 37 kW at MX-260W-320D and 47 kW at MX-330W-320D. The documented 1000D configuration, MX-220W-1000D, runs a 60.2 kW industrial-control circuit on a 4×25+10 mm² cable. All configurations use an oil-heated drum rated to 230 °C and an AC inverter drive for speed control. Safety is unified across the line: PLC monitoring, over-temperature cutoff at 240 °C, thermocouple sensing with cable-break detection, phase and ground protection, and a four-button emergency stop array.

The electrical and mechanical design of the MX Series includes 11 independent layers of protection. Operator safety • 4 emergency stop buttons • Audible alarm and visual indicator (yellow lamp) Electrical protection • Phase protection — cuts on voltage fluctuation • Fuse protection — isolates on circuit fault • Earth-leakage protection — cuts on residual current • Contactor protection system Thermal protection • Automatic overheat cut-off at 240 °C • Heating-circuit protection Drum safety • Drum pressure-relief system — automatic release on abnormal pressure inside the drum Pneumatic system safety • Air-loss protection — when the compressor fails or air supply stops, the machine auto-detects the lack of pneumatic pressure, drops speed to minimum, and runs the felt forward and backward in short intervals to prevent it from drifting sideways. The felt stays safe until air returns. Sensor reliability • Sensor-fault detection — backup circuit engages if main sensor fails • Sensor-cable protection — safe lockout on mechanical disconnection For warranty, installation and service details, contact our team.

Fixation-specific machine. Built to fix the output of a digital print line — heat and pressure optimised for chemically bonding reactive, acid and disperse dyes to the fibre. Three dye-class support. Reactive dyes (cotton, viscose, linen), acid dyes (wool, silk, nylon) and disperse dyes (polyester) — the machine runs in the correct temperature and dwell ranges for all three. The operator sets parameters based on fabric type. Polyester reactivation capability. Polyester printed on a digital disperse printer may ship with incomplete fixation. MX reprocesses these fabrics to deepen colour intensity and improve wash fastness. Digital print-line compatibility. Output rolls are designed to run directly with the output of common digital textile printers. No extra adapter or conversion is required. Simple digital control panel. Temperature and speed are set through a digital thermostat — no complex interface, so the operator starts using the machine immediately. Automatic cooldown button. At end of shift, one touch puts the machine into cooldown mode; it shuts down safely once it reaches a safe temperature. No one needs to stay at the machine to watch it cool. 220V voltage option. In addition to the standard configuration, the machine can be delivered in a 220V build for countries with 220V infrastructure. Specified at order. Five working-width options. The right model is chosen based on workshop floor and the output width of your digital print line — from small workshop to industrial print mill. Internationally readable model code. The MX format directly states working width and drum diameter — a foreign buyer grasps it instantly in the technical catalogue.
