July 15, 2024 – The HanGlory Group announces the launch of the revolutionary ROCKET Hybrid Single Pass multi-craft digital printing machine, a collaborative innovation by Homer Digital and Jilong Machine Technologies.

This innovative product represents a significant leap in intelligent manufacturing within the digital textile printing field.

On July 1, 2024, HanGlory Group, Jilong Machine Technologies, and leaders from the China Textile Machinery Association, China Dyeing and Printing Industry Association, and China Textile Machinery Association signed a strategic cooperation agreement, witnessed by over a hundred guests.

This collaboration established GeeHong Digital Textile Technology Co., Ltd., and marked the launch of the ROCKET Hybrid Single Pass multi-craft digital printing machine.

Combining the strengths of HanGlory Group's digital printing technology, Homer's expertise in digital textile printing applications, and Jilong Machine Technologies' capabilities in textile printing and dyeing machinery R&D and manufacturing, this new venture has garnered significant attention within the textile printing and dyeing machinery industry

The Innovative Design and Advantages of ROCKET

The ROCKET machine line introduces a complete production system, encompassing every step from fabric feeding to collection. Key features include:

Fabric Feeding Unit: Ensures consistent and smooth fabric entry.

Belt Guiding Unit: Maintains fabric alignment for precise printing.

Fabric Sizing Unit: Prepares the fabric for optimal ink absorption.

Inkjet Printing Unit: Enables high-speed, high-precision printing.

Drying Unit: Fixes the pigments to ensure long-lasting color vibrancy.

Fabric Collecting Unit: Gathers the printed fabric efficiently.

ROCKET eliminates the need for plate making, enabling on-demand printing with high flexibility.

It caters to both large-scale production runs and small-batch quick responses. Users can choose between the ROCKET K, with a production speed of 75 meters per minute (m/min), and the ROCKET X, reaching an even higher capacity of 80 m/min.

Both models offer precision up to 2400 DPI and support up to 8-color mode printing. With no limitations on repeat patterns or color matching, users gain precise control over every detail.

Breakthrough Composite Printing Solution

ROCKET introduces a groundbreaking composite printing solution that merges digital and traditional printing techniques. This hybrid approach enhances production versatility, reduces costs, and meets diverse market demands. Key features include:

Online Sizing and Rotary Screen Digital Overprinting: Integrates the strengths of both methods.

Versatile Processes: Supports gold foil, silver foil, pearl paste, color-changing effects, and glue paste applications.

Efficiency and Cost Savings: Online sizing nearly doubles output, reduces paste costs by half, and decreases nitrogen emissions by almost 50%. Wet printing sizing improves ink color by about 15%, saving 10-15% on ink usage.

Unique Technologies and Efficiency Improvements

ROCKET's unique patented technologies ensure precise synchronization between rotary screen and digital printing, meeting the demands of industrial long-term operations. The innovative online sizing and wet printing solutions eliminate the need for separate sizing equipment, resulting in significant cost savings and enhanced printing penetration effects.

The ROCKET drying unit ensures proper fixation of printing pigments, removes odors, and disinfects printed fabrics, maintaining quality and hygiene standards. The inclusion of a low-temperature oven allows for effective control of printing temperature, reducing fabric energy consumption and associated costs..
