Do you want to know how those clear logos are printed on products using a pad printer? This requires the use of one of the main spare parts for our pad printing machine - steel plates. Steel plates are placed on pad printing machines to print patterns and ink onto products. As a supplier of pad printing machines, we also sell steel plate making equipment to facilitate customers' complete production processes. You can purchase plate making equipment to make steel plates in the factory, which will improve production efficiency and progress.
The steel plate making equipment (also known as cliche making equipment) covers the machines required for making steel plates - from coating, exposure, etching to drying. It also includes preparing printing consumables such as ink cups and silicone pads.
With multi years of experience in the printing machinery industry, HOYSTAR is all about providing one-stop solutions for steel plate production. Our product line includes equipment such as emulsion coating machines, UV exposure machines, etching machines, and drying ovens, as well as supporting products such as ink cups, silicone pads, and photosensitive emulsions. We provide flexible solutions that can be customized for different printing plate materials, pattern complexity, and transfer printing processes, and offer a variety of equipment specifications. Whether you are in home made customized printing or large factory production, we will try our best to provide you with the most suitable steel plate making solutions.
HOYSTAR’s Pad Plate Making Equipment is categorized into core machinery, supporting chemicals, and auxiliary accessories, covering every link of pad plate production to meet your specific process needs:
UV Exposure Units are key equipment for transferring patterns onto pad printing plates. They use UV radiation to cure the emulsion coated on the plate, creating precise stencil patterns based on the design film—laying the foundation for subsequent etching.
Below is our Desktop UV Exposure Machine with small bulk,aesthetic appearance, low price. Low wattage,easy operation. It is suitable for making high-quality Copper Zinc plate and steel plate
After coating or developing the steel plate with emulsion,use a drying oven to thoroughly dry it. The drying oven can ensure that the emulsion adheres tightly to the surface of the steel plate, preventing peeling or damage during the etching process. This can ensure the stability and clarity of the steel plate pattern.
Below is our Electric Oven Machine with steady drying temperature. Layered design, being good for drying multi steel plate at the same time.
Coating machines apply a smooth and uniform layer of photosensitive emulsion onto transfer printing plates (such as steel plates). Photosensitive emulsion is a photosensitive material that, after being cured and etched by ultraviolet light, can form grooves that hold ink for transferring your design patterns.
Below is our Coating Machine special used to paint photosensitive emulsion for pad printing steel board, with a small profile.
We provide various accessories to ensure the smooth production of your transfer printing plate
Closed ink cup: This ink cup is used to hold transfer printing ink and seal it on the steel plate. It is sturdy and durable (wear-resistant), and will not react with ink, ensuring that your ink always remains in its best condition. We also offer ink cups of different sizes like diameter of 90mm/120mm/140mm and different material like plastic, ceramic, and metal.
Silicone pads: These are the "transfer tools" for pad printing. They extract ink from the grooves on the layout and smoothly transfer it to the product you want to print on. We offer silicone pads of different sizes and hardness. Soft silicone pads are very suitable for curved products such as bottles and containers, as they can fit the surface shape without smudging. Hard silicone pads are suitable for flat parts such as plastic and metal parts, and can obtain clear edges.
All of our steel plate making equipment has CE certification. We also attach great importance to safety issues in production: the drying oven is equipped with overheating protection devices, the exposure machine is equipped with ultraviolet protection covers, and all machines use stable electrical systems. These measures comply with international safety standards can ensure the safety of operators and production sites.
For the warranty,any machine parts are damaged within 1 year(not human factors),we will supply it freely.After a one-year warranty period, we still provide technical support, and if you have a need for parts, we can also provide assistance.
We’ve shipped machines to over 50 countries, and we know how rough shipping can be—To protect machines during shipment, HOYSTAR uses fumigation-free wooden crates compliant with international shipping standards. we also provide separate fixed packaging for vulnerable components to prevent displacement and damage during transit. This packaging method is suitable for both sea and air shipping to global destinations.
HOYSTAR is ready to provide our best quality pad steel plate making equipment to all customers around the world.
