Redesigned Rototex wins SGIA Product of the Year honours

The redesigned American Rototex manual textile screen printer continues to receive industry accolades, being named a 2018 Product of the Year Winner in its class by the Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA). Manufactured by A.W.T. World Trade, the recently-relaunched Rototex will be showcased at the Golden Image/Product of the Year Gallery during the 2018 SGIA Expo, October 18 to October 20 in Las Vegas.

The Rototex offers the perfect combination of highly versatile production capabilities and ease of operation. Updated with convenient new features and a smaller overall footprint, the Rototex is poised to enhance textile screen printing for a whole new generation of users.

Known worldwide for accurate registration and consistency, the Rototex is the strongest, most reliable manual textile printer on the market. The updated units feature smaller overall footprint of almost 22% without compromising the stability and durability for which the Rototex is known. This also translates into reduced shipping costs – up to 50% less than with the original Rototex.

A new lighter-weight head means easier rotation of the carousel to print position and easier indexing.  The new design facilitates faster setups and changeovers with tool-free adjustments, and quick release pallets standard on all models.

The multi-directional X/Y registration system enables the operator to perform quick colour-to-colour setups. This heavy-duty system will not wear or vibrate out of register even during extended production runs. Off-contact control allows operators to directly manage ink deposits for excellent fine line and halftone reproduction.

The Rototex is available in six, eight, 10, or 12, colours and one, four, six, or eight stations to accommodate any textile printing operation. For print shops seeking to expand their textile capabilities, or for automated production facilities in need of a sturdy sample or proof press, A.W.T.’s award-winning redesigned American Rototex will deliver accuracy and flexibility over the long haul.

A.W.T. World Trade is one of the world’s leading manufacturer of screen printing machinery and ancillary equipment, with products ranging from manual units to state-of-the-art, fully-automated modular systems incorporating conveyor systems, drying and curing units, and storage solutions.
