Sakurai MSDR60 Direct Drive, Roll-to-Roll Cylinder Screen Press

See the new two-color line, which includes unwinding, vertical type hot/UV combination dryer, intermediate unit, delamination & lamination unit and re-winding unit running thinner film substrates.

Sakurai Vertical Type Hot/UV Combination Dryer 

This new, high-performance combination dryer will be operating with the MSDR60 press. Printed film is turned in the unit vertically, thus around 30 m film can be stored in the unit even the length of the unit is around 4m.

Sakurai ADS-MS80SD Gripper-less Cylinder Screen Press

Sakurai developed the system last year, and has upgraded it to practical use. An exclusive air suction system transports a sheet on the cylinder, instead of grippers, to minimize gripper margin and the non-printed area of sheet.

CST Digital Light Engraver (DLE Compact)

High-resolution (2500 dpi) computer to screen technology. Eliminates film for imaging screen by means of direct UV light engraving onto stencil.
