Optimal Automation — Servo Driven
The Screenotex Apex PRO brings servo-driven blanket and common servo-driven heads with worm gearbox to the mid-range rotary segment — delivering great registration accuracy, optimum energy saving, and 80 m/min production speed at an accessible price point between the Apex and Climax.
A servo motor drives the printing blanket with precise speed and position control — maintaining exact fabric advance synchronised to all heads throughout the full production run.
All rotary heads are driven by a common servo system through worm gearboxes — delivering servo-class registration accuracy and energy efficiency at a mid-range price point.
Worm gearboxes on each head provide self-locking torque transmission and high gear ratios — maintaining head position under varying print loads without additional holding mechanisms.
The Apex PRO steps up from the Apex with a servo-driven blanket and common servo-driven heads through worm gearboxes — bringing servo-class accuracy, energy efficiency, and registration quality to the mid-range rotary segment.
A dedicated servo motor drives the printing blanket with precision speed and position control — maintaining exact fabric advance synchronisation to all rotary heads at 80 m/min for consistent repeat accuracy run after run.
All rotary heads are driven by a common servo system through precision worm gearboxes — providing servo-class registration accuracy and the energy-efficiency benefits of servo control, at a price point between the Apex and Climax.
Configure the Apex PRO with up to 16 rotary heads — enabling complex multi-colour design repeats in a single production pass, with the same servo-driven blanket and head architecture across all configurations.
Choose between magnetic squeegee for maximum ink penetration and saturation, or pneumatic blade for maximum print sharpness — both systems available across the full Apex PRO configuration range.
Pneumatically operated colour feeding pumps deliver precise, consistent ink supply to each rotary head — maintaining exact ink volume and pressure at all production speeds for even colour saturation.
Included as standard — the brushing-cleaning unit removes dust, lint, and loose fibres from the fabric surface before the print zone, protecting screens from clogging and ensuring clean print quality at full speed.
Available in four repeat sizes — 640, 820, 914, and 1018 mm — to match your design pattern repeat and screen inventory exactly. Select the repeat size for your target design categories.
Available in 1280, 1620, and 1850 mm printing widths — with higher widths available on request — covering the full range of standard fabric widths in the woven and knitted textile market.
Servo drives run only at the speed and torque the print requires — consuming significantly less energy than AC motor and inverter systems, reducing operational cost per metre across the full production shift.
Both the magnetic and pneumatic squeegee systems are available — select the one that matches your fabric, design complexity, and priority: deep ink penetration or maximum sharpness.
Magnetic force maintains constant, even pressure across the full screen width — driving deep, consistent ink penetration into the fabric structure for rich, saturated colour depth.
Pneumatic air pressure holds the blade at precise, consistent contact — delivering maximum print sharpness and fine line definition on detailed, complex designs.
The Apex PRO bridges the gap between the Apex and Climax — bringing servo blanket drive, servo head drive, and energy efficiency to producers who need better registration accuracy than the Apex but don't require individual head servo drives.
Servo-driven blanket and common servo-driven heads deliver automation above the Apex — bringing servo-class print quality and registration to a price point accessible to mid-range rotary producers.
Common servo head drive with worm gearboxes delivers registration accuracy significantly better than AC motor + inverter systems — enabling more complex designs with tighter colour adjacency requirements.
80 m/min maximum speed with up to 16 heads maintains high production throughput — matching the Climax on speed while offering an economical configuration for producers with up to 16 colour requirements.
Servo-class registration accuracy enables the Apex PRO to handle complex multi-colour designs — more demanding than what AC motor systems can reliably manage at full production speed.
Included brushing-cleaning unit removes all fabric surface contamination before the print zone — protecting rotary screens and ensuring consistent, clean print quality at 80 m/min.
Choose magnetic squeegee for deep ink penetration and rich colour saturation, or pneumatic blade for maximum print sharpness — matching the printing system to your design and fabric requirements.
Servo systems with worm gearboxes require minimal maintenance compared to mechanical drive trains — reducing downtime and spare parts cost, translating to more production hours per shift.
Servo drives consume only the energy the print operation requires — significantly reducing electricity costs compared to continuously running AC motor systems, lowering the cost per metre across the production run.
