MTuTech 360 Cylinder Elf (SE)

The MTuTech 360 Cylinder Elf is an advanced rotary UV digital printer engineered specifically for high-speed, full-wrap printing directly on cylindrical, tapered, and conical objects. Designed for industrial-scale customisation and mass production, this machine is ideally suited for items such as tumblers, water bottles, flasks, candles, golf balls, cans, and a diverse array of promotional gifts.

Key Technologies and Features:

• Industrial Ricoh Gen5i Printheads: Provides outstanding image clarity, high-resolution colour output, and long operational lifespan, supporting vibrant and complex artwork even at high speeds.

• 360º Seamless Printing: Utilises a robust rotary system for true all-around printing, accommodating straight, tapered, and conical shapes without manual repositioning.

• Advanced 5D Relief Effect Printing: The printer leverages high-drop technology (2mm–13mm) to build textured, tactile elements and dimensional layers, enabling raised logos, patterns, and unique visual effects.

• Rapid Throughput: Delivers finished, full-wrap imprints in as little as 40 seconds per piece—ideal for large-volume orders or promotional campaigns.

• Flexible Object Compatibility: Handles items from 80mm to 280mm in length and 45mm to 160mm in diameter, with adjustable jigs and automated positioning for consistent, reliable results.

• Wide Material Support: Prints on various substrate types, including stainless steel, frosted or powder-coated bottles, glass, plastics, ceramics, bamboo, wood, and more—achieving strong adhesion and scratch-resistant prints.

• Automated Productivity Enhancements:

  • Multi-diameter rotary jigs with precision scaling for fast changeovers between product sizes.

  • Servomotor-driven transport and precise object registration reduce production errors and downtime.

  • Anti-collision sensor systems help protect sensitive printheads from accidental impact.

• Intelligent Ink System: Features white ink circulation, ICC colour management for consistent prints, and the option for transparent varnish application to enhance print durability or create selective gloss effects.

• User-Friendly Operation: Intuitive touchscreen controls, preset recipe storage, and simple job setup reduce operator training time and support efficient workflows.
