DT-175S 3/4 Automation - High Speed Servo Driven UV Cured Screen Printing Machine for Tubes
DT-175S AUTOMATIC UV SCREEN PRINTER
High-Speed, Multi-Color Decoration for Cosmetic, Pharmaceutical & Industrial Packaging
Deco Tech’s DT-175S automatic UV screen printer is engineered for high-speed, precision printing on rigid and flexible plastic tubes, vials, jars, lids, and other cylindrical components up to 75 mm in diameter. Designed for industries including cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceutical, and industrial packaging, the DT-175S delivers exceptional image registration and consistent multi-color output at high production speeds.
Now updated for 2025, the DT-175S features a servo-driven horizontal screen printing head for increased accuracy and control. The system includes a 12-station rotary indexing table powered by a premium Transtechno AC motor, supporting smooth, synchronized part movement through every stage of the print cycle.
Automated UV Screen Printing for Tubes, Jars, Lids & Cylindrical Packaging
Engineered for industrial-scale production, the DT-175S from Deco Tech is a high-performance, servo-driven UV screen printing machine built for fast, reliable, and consistent decoration of rigid and flexible cylindrical parts. Whether you're printing cosmetic tubes, pharmaceutical vials, medical syringes, or small industrial containers, the DT-175S delivers sharp, multi-color branding at speeds up to 60 parts per minute.
Updated for 2025, the DT-175S combines European-built hardware with intelligent automation—giving manufacturers the tools to reduce labor costs, increase throughput, and improve product quality while keeping tight control over registration and waste.
Automatic UV Screen Printing Machine for Plastic Tubes
The DT-175S is a fully automatic UV screen printing machine, updated for 2025 with a servo-driven screen printing head (horizontal axis) for enhanced precision and control. Engineered for one-color printing, this machine is ideal for decorating a wide range of rigid and flexible cylindrical products—including plastic or metal tubes, jars, lids, medical vials, syringes, and other containers up to 75 mm in diameter.
The DT-175S delivers significantly higher productivity than semi-automatic systems and represents unmatched value in its class. It features a 12-station, vertically-mounted rotary indexing table, powered by a high-performance Transtechno AC motor (Italy) for smooth and reliable part movement.
In addition to the servo-driven print head, the infeed conveyor is also servo-controlled (depending on application) for consistent and accurate part loading. Parts are automatically fed onto the mandrels using a servo-driven belt conveyor with a mechanical pusher arm.
The DT-175S comes standard with a high-intensity HPE UV curing unit (3.6 kW), and can be optionally equipped with an LED UV curing system for energy efficiency and reduced heat exposure. To ensure maximum adhesion and surface preparation, the system also includes a flame pre-treatment station and de-ionizing station.
For multi-pass applications requiring tight registration, the DT-175S can be outfitted with an optional SICK brand optical re-registration system, providing precise color-to-color alignment.
Built for Businesses That Need More Than Just Output
Your customers expect speed and consistency. The DT-175S helps you deliver both—at scale. Automating your tube printing process not only cuts setup and labor costs, but also accelerates your ability to fulfill orders faster. The result? Your customers move products to market quicker, grow their volume commitments, and bring more business back to your facility.
Why Automate Your Tube Printing?
- Faster Turnarounds = Increased Order Volume
The quicker you can print and ship, the more repeat orders you’ll secure. - Consistent Print Quality = Fewer Rejects
Servo-driven registration and optical re-alignment mean fewer misprints and less scrap. - Labor Savings = Better Margins
Fully automatic part loading, indexing, and curing reduce operator dependency. - Reduced Waste = Smarter Production
Controlled ink laydown, stable UV curing, and precision flame treatment ensure maximum adhesion with minimal setup loss.
