Introduction Alpha Calender 
Roll-Master 1.2 

 
 

The Alpha Calender Roll-Master 1.2 is a manually operated

 Calender 

press for transfer printing and material fusing with an oil heating system 
dye sublimation onto knitted, synthetic, and non-cloth fabrics such as 
polyester and nylon.  It is capable of printing in piece-to-piece operation 
and also roll-to-roll for polyester materials and spandex materials. 
 

Features include: 
 

 

Automatic felt blanket alignment 

 

High capacity oil drum that can be filled to 100% capacity 

 

Hand cranked blanket tensioning system 

 

Blanket release system 

 

Auto power off feature 

 

A duplex Teflon® oil drum 

 

Piece-to-piece and roll-to-roll functionality 

 

Three Feed rollers and three take-up rollers 

 
The auto felt blanket alignment feature avoids lost and spoiled production 
due to the blanket tracking off alignment during setup and production, 
and requiring less maintenance during day-to-day operation. 
The high capacity oil drum can be filled to 100% capacity, which 
increases the transfer speed substantially as the heat temperature is more 
evenly spread across the drum, and more stable during operation. 
The auto power off feature makes the machine more energy efficient and 
economical, and guards against accidental damage due to overheating 
should the machine be left on accidentally. This feature is fully 
programmable from the PLC controller and the main power button, 
saving the operator at least 3 hours a day over using a manual shut down 
machine, as no user interaction is required when the machine is turned 
off. 
The Control panel is very user friendly and will aid in the rapid training 
of operators due to its simplicity of useage and easy to read layout.
