Product Model: HT-B-300

English Name: Heat Transfer Machine for Buckets

core Abstract
The HT-B-300 is a semi-automatic heat transfer printing machine specifically engineered for high-precision multi-color graphic transfers on plastic buckets and pails (such as paint, chemical, food, and lubricant containers). Driven by a powerful pneumatic system and equipped with a photoelectric sensor for exact film positioning, it delivers vibrant, scratch-resistant pattern adhesion at 5 cycles/min. Its durable chromate-treated structure and cost-effective operation make it ideal for small-to-medium plastic packaging manufacturers.

I. Product Overview

  • Product Category: Packaging & Printing Equipment - Heat Transfer Equipment
  • Application Scenario: Mainly used for multi-color graphic heat transfer printing on the surface of various plastic buckets/pails (such as paint buckets, chemical buckets, lubricant pails, food buckets, water pails, etc.).
  • Core Function: Utilizes the heat generated by the heating roller combined with pneumatic pressure to transfer ink patterns from the heat transfer film onto cylindrical or slightly tapered conical bucket bodies with high precision.

II. Core Advantages

  1. High-Precision Film Feeding: Equipped with a high-precision photoelectric induction foil feeding control system to ensure precise pattern positioning and minimize film waste.
  2. Corrosion & Wear Resistance: All critical mechanical parts undergo chromate treatment, which not only enhances the visual texture of the machine but also significantly improves durability under heavy-duty operations.
  3. Powerful Pneumatic Drive: Fully driven by a pneumatic system, providing uniform and stable pressure output to easily accommodate large-area transfer needs.
  4. Flexible Operation: Features a semi-automatic design where manual loading works in tandem with automatic rotation and transfer, balancing production flexibility with operational efficiency.

IV. Sales Recommendations & FAQ

Sales Recommendations:

  • Target Customers: Plastic bucket manufacturers, printing/processing factories, paint/chemical brand owners.
  • Marketing Focus: Highlight "high color reproduction, strong pattern adhesion, and low equipment maintenance costs." The HT-B-300 features a highly mature structure, making it a highly cost-effective choice for small and medium-sized packaging enterprises.
  • Essential Reminder: When selling, always remind customers that they need to prepare an air compressor of 8kg or above to drive the pneumatic system.

FAQ:

  • Q: Will the pattern peel or scratch off after transfer?
    • A: When using this machine with qualified heat transfer films, the pattern will fuse tightly with the bucket surface, offering excellent scratch and solvent resistance.
  • Q: Can it print on buckets with handles?
    • A: Yes. The worktable can be adjusted according to the bucket shape to bypass the handle position during printing.
  • Q: Does operation require a professional technician?
    • A: No. The machine is PLC-controlled with simple, intuitive logic. Ordinary workers can operate it proficiently after half a day of training.

    • Film System: Includes an automatic rewinding and suspension mechanism to maintain proper film tension.
    • Photoelectric Switch: Ensures consistent pattern starting positions for every cycle.

VI. Workflow / Operational Steps

  1. Power & Air Connection: Connect to a 220V power supply and a 0.4~0.6Mpa air source.
  2. Film Loading & Alignment: Install the heat transfer film and position the pattern using the photoelectric switch.
  3. Parameter Adjustment: Set the appropriate heating temperature (typically 160°C - 220°C) and transfer pressure according to the bucket's plastic material.
  4. Manual Loading: Place the plastic bucket flat onto the supporting rollers or a dedicated fixture.
  5. Initiate Transfer: Step on the foot switch or press the start button; the rubber roller will press down and drive the bucket to rotate synchronously.
  6. Waste Film Collection: After the transfer is completed, the machine automatically winds the waste film to prepare a fresh section for the next cycle.
  7. Unloading & Inspection: Manually remove the finished product and inspect the quality of the transferred pattern.
