The DTF Shaker that thinks for you.
A 60cm DTF powder shaker and dryer that pre-heats, weighs its powder, recycles what it doesn't use and slows down when your hands get close. It runs on 2kW and is only 85cm wide, so you can get it into your unit without taking the doorframe off.
Every stage, handled.
Built around your workflow.
Each upgrade fixes a problem DTF printers deal with every day: wasted powder, wasted film, burnt prints, cramped units and operators getting too close to moving parts.
Less powder, cleaner prints.
The machine controls powder from the hopper to the cure, so you use what the print needs and recover the rest.
Auto powder return
A screw lift carries loose powder from the collection tray back up to the feed box. You don't have to scoop it out or tip it back in.
Powder pre-heat
Powder is warmed in the hopper before it lands. Warm powder flows evenly and bonds to the wet ink more consistently.
Powder weight, not powder flood
A weighted spreader controls how much powder lands on the film, so you stop over-powdering and getting speckle outside the design.
No film bar = more print area
There's no pressure bar across the film, so the printable area isn't reduced and you can nest gang sheets closer to the edge.
Cures hot. Runs cheap.
Even heat across the full 620mm width, managed so it doesn't waste power or burn prints that are sitting still.
Low power consumption
Rated at 2kW and typically drawing 1–1.5kW while running. That's very little for a 60cm shaker and dryer, and it runs on a single-phase supply.
Idle temperature drop
When the line stops, the dryer automatically lowers its temperature. Film left under the lamps during a break won't scorch, yellow or over-cure.
Double-row lamp heating with sensor-adaptive control
Two rows of lamp tubes heat up fast and spread heat evenly across the full width, which avoids hot spots. Sensors continuously adjust the output so the cure temperature holds steady whether you're running 30cm or 60cm.
Long runs, no babysitting.
Film stays flat, feeds evenly and keeps moving from the printer to the take-up roll, including long gang sheets.
Film pre-heat
Film is warmed before it reaches the powder station, which takes the curl out and helps the powder stick evenly.
Pickup roller sensor
A sensor on the pickup roller pauses feeding, giving you time to thread, align and finish setting up before the film moves.
Mechanical take-up roller
A driven take-up keeps tension even, so long prints roll up straight and tight from the first metre to the last.
Link function
Cut a finished job at the printer and it still flows through powdering, baking and take-up without feeding metres of blank leader film. How it works ↓
Built for the people running it.
Safe for operators to work around and easy on the air in your unit.
Hands-in sensor stops shaking
Sensors cover the powder distribution areas. If a hand gets in, the shaker stops straight away.
Anti-suction cooling fans
Guarded fans won't pull in hair, sleeves or lanyards while you collect film. They also cool cured film quickly for sharper colour.
Fume air purifier
An activated-carbon filter unit collects and cleans the oil fume from curing, so your workspace doesn't fill with haze.
Touch control + e-stop
Set temperatures, speeds and functions on a clear touchscreen. A large red emergency stop sits right beside it.
The K6018 PRO is just 850mm wide and goes through the door lengthways. Most commercial doors are wide enough, so there's no dismantling, no window removal and no crane. Once it's in, it needs 1.9m × 0.85m of floor.
Engineered where it counts.
These are the parts you'll see when you open the panels: the lamps, the powder lift, the fans and the filter.
Double-row lamp tubes
Two rows of lamps heat quickly and evenly from edge to edge, so the cure is uniform and colours come out true.
Screw-lift recovery
The lower screw lifts recovered powder straight back up to the feed box automatically.
Guarded matrix fans
Fans on the exit side cool film quickly, and their guards keep hair and clothing out.
Activated-carbon fume purifier
Three extraction fans draw curing fumes through a carbon filter before the air returns to the room. The filter is easy to swap through the side panel.
Touchscreen + e-stop
Complex settings in a few taps, with a full-size emergency stop beside them.
Cut at the printer. Keep the line moving.
On a standard setup, finishing a job means pushing metres of blank film through the shaker and oven just to get the last print out. With Link, you cut near the printer and the finished section carries on through powdering, baking and take-up by itself.
- 1The job finishes printing. Cut the film just after the printer.
- 2Link carries the cut section through powder, shake, cure and cooling.
- 3Your next job starts printing straight away, with no long blank leader in between.
Built to be cheap to switch on.
- 2kW rated, 1–1.5kW typical. Lamp heating controlled by sensors only draws what the cure needs.
- Idle drop. The temperature lowers when nothing is moving, so breaks don't cost full power.
- Powder & film savings. Weighted application, auto-return and Link mean you buy fewer consumables.

Pair it with the Keditec i3200 60cm printer
Matched widths, one install visit and one UK support team for your whole line, from printer to take-up roll.
Before you buy.
Will it fit through my door?
The machine is 850mm wide and travels through the door lengthways. Use the door checker above, or send us a photo and measurements of your access route and we'll confirm before delivery.
What power supply does it need?
It runs on single-phase power, so you don't need a three-phase supply. It's rated at 2kW and 20A, and typically draws 1–1.5kW. We'll confirm the right socket or circuit for your premises during the installation survey.
Which printers does it work with?
Any DTF printer up to 60cm wide. Max heating width is 620mm. It's set up to pair with our Keditec i3200 60cm 2-head printer, but it works with other 60cm printers too.
How does the Link function save film?
You cut a finished job close to the printer and Link carries that section through powdering, baking and take-up. You don't have to feed blank leader film behind it to push it through the oven.
What happens if someone puts their hand in the powder area?
Sensors on the powder distribution areas detect it and stop the shaking straight away. There's also a full-size emergency stop on the control panel.
Do you install and service it in the UK?
Yes. We supply, install and service from Milton Keynes, including setup and ongoing support.
