Flame treatment to prepare cylindrical surfaces for printing.
APL offers flame-treatment equipment for cylindrical objects and buckets as part of its screen-printing workflow. APL describes LPG operation, with compressed air used as required by the particular cylindrical-job arrangement.
Flame treatment is a surface-preparation stage and is distinct from the UV dryer also shown in the range. Discuss the container material, dimensions and intended ink with APL to establish the appropriate pretreatment and the safety requirements for installation.
