DT-175S 3/4 Automation - High Speed Servo Driven UV Cured Screen Printing Machine for Tubes

Download the Brochure

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.

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.
