Zimmer Machine
The Peter Zimmer machine operates on the principal of the electro magnetic double roller squeegee. The print paste confined between two rollers which are of a considerably larger diameter (80 mm). Pile penetration by the print paste is achieved by pressure wedge of paste trapped in front of the second roller as it moves forward over the screen. In this machine screens are covered with 60-70 mesh polyester screen fabric. The downward pressure and reciprocating motion of the squeegee roller is achieved by a bank of electromagnetic moving beneath the endless rubber belt that carries the carpet. Maximum running speed is usually 2-4 m/ min, depending on carpet quality.
Principle
The UV screening agent is applied in combination with TERASIL X dyes by flat screen direct printing.
The light fastness improvement achieved for two dye combinations is assessed colorimetrically by standardized HT light exposure tests.

- The carpet is transported by means of an endless rubber blanket or rubber strips. It is sometimes carries small pins on the surface to grip the
- Four type of rotary screen printer for carpets have been produced namely.
- The Peter Zimmer machine with a magnetic roller squeegee friction driven with variable magnetic pressure.
- The Peter Zimmer Hydroslot system which relies on hydrostatic pressure to force the paste through a slot in the special squeegee box and into the carpet pile.
- The Mitter positively driven roller squeegee which combines the use of large squeegee diameter and high paste levels be hind the roller to achieve good color penetration into the carpet pile. Special flexible screens of triangular cross section can give repeats up to 4 meter.
- The Johannes Zimmer Magnojet and Viriojet machine which are a further development of the Hydroslot system.
