Definitions

  • This invention refers to a transfer printing process on Architectural Aluminum Profiles, in order to decorate them, using sublimable inks.
  • This method is based on sublimable inks which have been known for a number of years. Such inks are used in a process of heat transfer printing. Sublimable inks are used in order to prepare a paper transfer sheet or a transfer fabric. The above insures the printing of the pattern, having as a result various decorations on Architectural Aluminum profiles. Pressing the transfer paper or the transfer fabric on an Aluminum profile just heated to 180 - 225 C, the inks penetrate the base coat immediately, achieving the instant stamping of the pattern.
  • This invention is characterized by (4) four steps.
  • a base coating of polymeric powder is applied and cured as in the standard process of industrial powder coating, constituting a subsoil to receive the sublimable inks.
  • the aluminum profile bars are driven one after the other in to a tunnel oven with recycling hot air.
  • a mechanism responsible for the movement of the architectural profile bars is placed. This mechanism causes one profile to push the other entering the oven in a straight uninterrupted line. To insure the best printing result, the whole system is supported by an alignment mechanism.
  • the printing is obtained by pressing the transfer paper or the transfer fabric on the aluminum profile bars, using silicon cylinders, properly shaped, in order to achieve an equal pressure and full contact of the transfer paper or transfer fabric on all points of the surfaces and edges of the bars.
  • silicon cylinders are used in the printing unit, according to the shape of the architectural aluminum profile. These silicon cylinders press and drive the transfer paper or the transfer fabric on the surfaces to be printed.
  • the transfer paper or the transfer fabric releases, by sublimation, the ink on the base coat , creating the pattern.
  • the color of the base coat together with the sublimated ink create the final effect.
  • These pressing silicon cylinders are fixed to the knurling of several metal rings, through which the aluminum profile bars are driven.
  • the metal rings must be knurled on both the internal and external edge, enabling the silicon cylinders to be fixed at any inclination angle of the 360 degrees of the circumference oh the ring. This is needed in order to have the silicon cylinders to follow any shape the Architectural Aluminum profile bar may have.
  • the above mentioned cylinders are supported by a mechanical or hydraulic regulating pressing system, which enable the desirable pressure to be adjusted. After this contact the printing material is removed.
  • FIGURE 1 Total perspective of the production line. Prepared with the base coat, the aluminum profile bars are placed onto the working area (1).
  • Each aluminum profile bar hooked to the movement system, pushes all the preceding profile bar so that running production is obtained.
  • This movement transmitting system is placed before the entrance of the oven (2).
  • the aluminum profile bars travel through a recycling hot air oven in order to reach the desired temperature (3).
  • the reaching of the desired temperature on the aluminum profile bar is controlled at the exit of the oven by an optical thermometer (4).
  • the just heated aluminum profile bar enters immediately into the printing unit (5). At the end of the line the printed aluminum profile bars are collected (6).
  • FIGURE 2 Printing Unit .
  • FIGURE 3 Printing Unit
  • the alignment mechanism (9) insures ideal alignment of the aluminum profile bar, to meet printing requirements .
  • Pressing mechanic or hydraulic mechanisms (10) support the silicon cylinders (11) in order to adjust the pressure as needed.
  • the aluminum bar is pushed through round knurled metal rings (8). Placing the pressing silicon cylinders in the required position, which is determined by the shape of the architectural profile bars, we oblige the transfer paper or the transfer fabric to come in full contact with all points of the surface and the edges of the hot architectural profile bar. After this contact the transfer paper or transfer fabric releases, by sublimation, the ink which penetrate the base coat creating the pattern. Inside the printing unit a mechanism is responsible for the collection of the used paper or fabric (12).
