Hot Stamping/Heat Transfer Equipment
United Silicone offers a versatile line of standard hot stamping machines involving the three common hot stamp technologies -- vertical, peripheral and roll-on. We also specialize in designing and building custom foil stamping & heat transfer systems that are unique to your specifications.
Vertical Stamping Equipment
Vertical stamping is ideal for applying decorative hot stamp foil or pre-printed heat transfers to flat or slightly crowned part surfaces, and to a maximum of 90° of the circumference of cylindrical shaped parts. These hot stamping machines are available in several tonnage ranges so that the unit can be sized for the application.
Roll On Decorating Equipment
Roll-On-The decoration of large-area part surfaces -- configured flat or with a slight contour -- is best accomplished with roll-on decorating.
Peripheral Decorating Equipment
Peripheral decorating is mainly used for applying foils or pre-printed heat transfers to the perimeter of the part. The advantage of this process is that up to 360° of the circumference of the piece can be decorated in one machine cycle. The part shape and size as well as desired production output dictate the ideal machine for your application.
