Products classified under HTS 8443.91.20.00
Textile Screen Printing Frame
A sturdy aluminum frame fitted with a fine polyester mesh screen, designed specifically for holding stencil designs during textile screen printing processes. It is a core component of textile printing machines classified under heading 8442, as it directly enables the plate-based printing of dyes onto fabrics. This part ensures precise ink transfer for high-volume garment and fabric production.
Rotary Textile Printing Cylinder
A precision-engraved nickel or copper cylinder used in rotary screen printing machines to apply colorant patterns onto fabrics continuously. As a key printing component integral to textile machinery of heading 8442, it transfers dyes via engraved cells during high-speed production. Essential for patterned textiles like apparel and upholstery.
Textile Printing Squeegee Blade
A durable polyurethane or rubber blade engineered to force dye paste through screens in flatbed or rotary textile printing machines. Tailored for high-viscosity textile inks, it is a vital accessory for machinery under heading 8442, ensuring uniform pattern application on fabrics. Replaceable design supports continuous industrial printing operations.
Fabric Printing Doctor Blade
A thin, flexible steel blade with honed edges used in rotary textile printing to scrape excess dye from cylinder screens, preventing smudges. Precision-ground for textile machinery of heading 8442, it maintains clean prints on high-speed fabric lines. Critical for color fidelity in multi-station setups.
Textile Printer Ink Pump
A peristaltic or diaphragm pump designed to circulate viscous dye pastes through textile printing machine manifolds without contamination. Optimized for abrasive textile inks in heading 8442 equipment, it ensures consistent pressure for flawless fabric patterns. Corrosion-resistant materials extend life in dye-heavy environments.
Screen Printing Flood Bar
An adjustable aluminum bar with foam applicator used to evenly distribute dye across textile screens before squeegee printing. Integral to flatbed textile machines of heading 8442, it minimizes ink waste and ensures uniform flooding. Quick-release mounts allow fast screen changes in production.
Textile Printing Machine Platen
A heated, perforated aluminum platen that supports fabric during flatbed screen printing, providing vacuum hold-down and even heat curing. Designed exclusively for textile printers under heading 8442, it prevents shifting for registration accuracy. Teflon-coated for easy dye cleanup.
Rotary Printing End Ring
A precision-machined stainless steel ring that seals and supports rotary screens on textile printing machines, maintaining alignment at high speeds. Essential structural part for heading 8442 rotary systems, it prevents dye leakage and vibration. Bearings integrated for smooth rotation.
Textile Printer Color Paste Mixer
A high-shear mixer blade assembly for blending dye pastes directly in textile printing machine reservoirs, ensuring color consistency. Tailored for viscous textile formulations in heading 8442 equipment, it prevents settling during long runs. Stainless construction resists corrosion.
Fabric Guide Roller for Printers
A rubber-coated steel roller that tensions and guides fabric web through textile printing machines, preventing wrinkles and misalignment. Precision bearings and knurled surface optimized for heading 8442 printers. Maintains constant tension for multi-color registration.
Textile Screen Exposure Unit Lamp
A high-intensity metal halide lamp assembly for exposing photo-emulsion on textile printing screens, creating durable stencils. Calibrated spectrum for heading 8442 screen prep units, it ensures sharp edge definition. Replaceable bulb with reflector housing.
Printing Machine Scraper Blade Holder
Adjustable pneumatic holder for mounting doctor/scraper blades in rotary textile printing units, allowing precise gap settings. Machined aluminum for heading 8442 machines, it optimizes blade pressure for clean wipes. Quick-change mechanism boosts uptime.
Textile Printer Vacuum Table
A slotted vacuum table surface that holds fabric flat during screen printing, integrated into flatbed textile machines of heading 8442. Porous aluminum design with manifold for uniform suction. Prevents puckering for perfect print registration.
Dye Paste Feed Hose Assembly
Reinforced PTFE hose with quick-connect fittings for transferring viscous dye paste from reservoirs to textile printing heads without pulsation. Chemical-resistant for heading 8442 machines. Braided stainless overbraid withstands high pressure.
Textile Printing Register Pin Set
Precision ground register pins and micro-adjustable bases for aligning multiple screens in multi-color textile printing machines. Ensures exact color-to-color registration on heading 8442 equipment. Hardened steel for durability.
