1.Automatic Unwinding and Rewinding with Splicer

This automatic splicing system employs a double-drum support and pneumatic splicer for continuous operation. This design ensures the continuity of the high-speed production process by maintaining a constant tension on the paper, thereby improving the quality of the final product and significantly reducing machine downtime and paper waste.

2.AIR KNIFE COATER

               

The air knife coating technology can achieve precise, uniform and low coating weight application, making it highly suitable for use on sublimation paper. Its high-speed airflow ensures a smooth surface, consistent ink transfer performance and excellent image clarity. This process supports high-speed production, can handle formulations with high solid content, and improves drying efficiency. These advantages bring stable quality, reduced coating consumption and higher production efficiency to the sublimation coating production line.


3.Drying Section

               

The air floatation oven is an essential equipment for producing high-quality NCR carbonless paper coatings. Its non-contact design uses a thermal air cushion to support and dry the coated paper. This avoids interference to the coating, protects sensitive microcapsules, and eliminates marks on the paper. The result is better surface integrity, uniform drying, and higher production efficiency, enabling the production of perfect finished products.

4.Back Wet Coater

The back wet coater provides precise backside moisture control to balance paper deformation in sublimation coating.It effectively prevents curling, improves sheet flatness, and ensures stable runnability through dryers and rewinding. With uniform anilox-metered moisture, it enhances final transfer quality and ensures consistent, high-grade sublimation paper performance—especially at high production speeds.


5.Hot and Cooling Cylinders

The Dia 1.5m hot cylinders with steam heating ensure rapid and stable thermal control of the sublimation paper coating.The hot cylinders enable rapid and uniform initial drying, while the cooling cylinders quickly set the coating and prevent sticking and deformation. Together, they provide a smoother surface, higher coating stability, as well as higher production speed and quality.

A:

A sublimation paper coating machine line is a complete system used to apply a specially formulated sublimation coating onto base paper. The coating improves ink absorption, transfer rate, drying speed, and print sharpness for digital textile printing applications such as fashion fabrics, sportswear, home textiles, and soft signage.

A:

Standard machines operate at 100–250 m/min, depending on coating formula, oven length, paper grammage, and coating method. High-end lines with efficient drying systems may reach 300 m/min for lightweight sublimation papers (35–60 gsm).

A:

Most sublimation paper lines use:
Rod (Meyer bar) coater – common, stable, cost-effective
Air-knife coater – precise coating weight control
Blade coater – optional for high-end premium paper
Air knife coaters are the industry standard because they provide uniform thin coating layers suitable for digital sublimation printing.

A:

Coating weight usually ranges from:
3–10 gsm for fast-dry lightweight paper
8–15 gsm for high-ink-load premium paper
The exact coating weight depends on the required transfer rate, drying performance, and printing resolution.

A:

Base paper requirements usually include:
Grammage: 25–70 gsm
Surface smoothness: ≤ 6–10 μm
Low porosity to reduce ink penetration
Moisture content: 6–7%
High-quality base paper ensures fast drying and excellent color transfer.

A:

A typical line includes:
Automatic unwinder
Coating head (rod/air-knife/blade)
Multi-section hot-air drying oven
Cooling cylinder section
Moisture regulation system
Calender or soft-calender
Rewinder or slitter-rewinder
PLC control system with tension control
These components ensure consistent coating quality and stable high-speed production.

A:

A standard 1.6–2.5 m sublimation paper line typically requires:
Electricity: 60–120 kW depending on oven length and fans
Steam: 0.6–0.8 MPa for heated cylinders (if equipped)
Compressed air: 0.6–0.8 MPa
The hot-air drying oven is the largest energy consumer, and optional heat-recovery systems can reduce operating costs.

A:

Professional suppliers provide:
On-site installation and commissioning
Operator and technician training
Coating formula guidance (ink absorption, anti-curl, fast-dry)
Process parameter optimization for GSM control and drying speed
Spare parts supply and long-term technical support
This ensures quick startup and stable long-term production.
