FAQ – DTF Shakers (Automatic Powder Mixers)

What is a DTF shaker and what is it used for?

A DTF shaker is an automatic powder dispenser used after DTF film printing.

It applies the TPU powder evenly, melts it using infrared drying and prepares the film for textile pressing.

It guarantees a clean, consistent and professional-quality transfer.

Why use a shaker rather than manual dusting?

Manual powdering lacks consistency and increases the risks:

  • poor powder distribution
  • underfusion or overfusion,
  • visible defects in the transfers
  • film loss and excessive consumption.

An automatic shaker ensures stable application, even drying and consistent results, even in long production runs.

What is the difference between the 13”, 60 cm, 800, 800-L and 130 cm shakers?

  • 13” : compact format ideal for small lines and DTF A3/A3+.
  • 60 cm : versatile, compatible with 60 cm printers like XPD-924D , perfect for standard production.
  • 800 : suitable for 2-head DTF printers , stable speed.
  • 800-L : designed for 4-head DTF printers , high speed and enhanced stability.
  • 130 cm : large format model for extra large prints and intensive production.

Is a shaker compatible with all DTF printers?

Yes.

The shakers work with all DTF printers on the market, regardless of the brand, provided that the film width is respected (13”, 60 cm, 130 cm, etc.).

Is infrared drying important?

Yes.

IR drying allows for:

  • a homogeneous fusion of the TPU powder,
  • better wash resistance
  • color protection
  • a reduction in transfer defects.

The dual IR (high + low) further improves the stability of the film.

Do you offer on-site installation, training, or maintenance?

Yes.

We can travel anywhere , both in France and internationally, to:

  • Set up your shaker,
  • train your teams,
  • perform maintenance,
  • Optimize your production settings.

Which shaker should I choose for my business?

It depends:

  • the format of your printer (A3, 60 cm, large format),
  • of the daily volume,
  • of the desired production speed,
  • the stability needed for long series.

We can guide you towards the most suitable model. Feel free to call us to discuss it.
