Summary
With the trend of upgrading both appearance and performance in the home appliance industry, glass panels have become the mainstream choice for home appliances such as rice cookers, refrigerators, and air conditioners due to their advantages of being scratch-resistant, beautiful, and easy to clean. Screen printing is the core process that gives them rich patterns, logos, and functionality.
Taoxing Printing Equipment has been deeply involved in the industry for many years. Combining practical experience, we explain the entire process of screen printing on glass panels for home appliances, break down the process difficulties and provide solutions, and help companies improve production efficiency and product quality.
I.Standardized Printing Process
The printing process must follow standardized procedures to ensure that each step is precise and controllable:
1. Pre-treatment: Cut and grind the edges of the glass sheet and clean it to remove surface stains and water stains to avoid affecting ink adhesion;
2. Precision printing: The processed glass is fed into the glass screen printing machine, fixed by a precision positioning system, and then the corresponding screen and ink are used to start the machine to complete the printing.
3. Post-printing molding: After printing, the product undergoes drying. For three-dimensional patterns, repeated layer printing can be performed. Finally, the product is inspected and packaged to complete the production process.
II.Technological Challenges and Solutions
There are three main challenges, and Taoxing has provided targeted solutions to efficiently address these industry pain points:
1. Poor ink adhesion: Use WG ink with a special ratio of BE thinner and WG accelerator, and temper it at 710-730℃. The cross-cut adhesion test meets the 4B standard.
2. Multicolor printing misregistration: The glass screen printing machine adopts a precise X and Y axis alignment system and frequency conversion stabilization technology to eliminate printing misregistration and ensure pattern regularity;
3. Bubble and burr issues: Optimize the squeegee pressure and speed, and combine with the pre-coverage design of the return oil blade to reduce the generation of bubbles and burrs, and improve the product texture.
III.Core Equipment
The core printing equipment is a glass screen printing machine. The Taoxing glass screen printing machine is equipped with a Xinjie PLC control system and a touch screen human-machine interface, which can flexibly adjust the printing speed and pressure. The worktable is treated with anti-scratch and wear-resistant materials, which is suitable for printing on various household appliance glass panels. It also has fault display and photoelectric protection functions, taking into account both high efficiency and safety.
IV. Precautions and Equipment Maintenance
1. Precautions: Control the temperature and humidity of the printing workshop during printing to prevent dust from entering; the screen needs to be inspected and replaced regularly, and the ink mixing ratio must strictly follow the standard;
2. Equipment maintenance: The glass screen printing machine should be wiped clean and the precision parts should be oiled to prevent rust. The voltage and air supply should be checked regularly. When the machine is stopped, the power and air supply should be turned off. A comprehensive overhaul should be carried out quarterly to extend the service life of the equipment.
Conclusion.
The quality of screen printing on glass panels for home appliances relies not only on standardized processes but also on high-performance equipment. Taoxing glass screen printing machines precisely address industry pain points, simplify operating procedures, improve production stability, and help home appliance companies create products that combine aesthetics and quality, thus empowering the industry's high-quality development.
