TPM-E is an inline fabric pretreatment machine for digital textile printing. It applies a uniform chemical coating to cotton and other textiles before printing, helping you achieve better color performance, reduced ink consumption and more consistent print quality. With adjustable working width and controlled heating zones, TPM-E fits smoothly into your existing production line.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Spreading roller & cloth separation roller

Keep different types of fabric flat and wrinkle-free before coating, reducing coating lines and fabric creases during production.


  • Biaxial tension bar & adjustable tension roller

Maintain stable fabric tension from infeed to rewind, helping you control shrinkage and pattern distortion on lightweight or stretch fabrics.


  • Feeding auto alignment with chain and needle plate

Automatic edge alignment and pinning system keeps the fabric running straight, minimizing edge wandering and helping you avoid coating defects.


  • Adjustable working width & synchronized speed

Easily set the coating width according to your fabric and line layout. The coating section can be synchronized with your existing printing or handling equipment for smoother operation.


  • Rubber and steel squeezing rollers with adjustable pressure

Control the pick-up of coating liquid by fine-tuning the squeezing pressure. This helps you balance coating amount, fabric hand feel and chemistry consumption.


  • Multi-zone heating with Teflon-coated oil drum

Three heating groups and a Teflon-coated drum provide stable and uniform drying. This helps improve coating fixation and reduce yellowing or over-drying issues.


  • Auto rewind with air expansion shaft

Automatic start/stop and air shaft winding make roll changing easier and help you build neat, tight fabric rolls ready for printing.


With these features working together, TPM-E gives you a stable and repeatable pretreatment process, which is essential for consistent digital printing results and reduced rework.

Fabric Treatment - TPM-E

Applications

TPM-E is designed for mills, converters and printing houses that need reliable pretreatment before direct digital printing. Typical applications include:

  • Cotton fabric printing – Pretreatment for pigment, reactive or other direct-printing inks on cotton and cotton-blended fabrics.

  • Home textile & décor – Curtains, tablecloths, upholstery, sofa fabrics and decorative textiles that require stable coating and hand feel.

  • Fashion & apparel substrates – Knitted and woven fabrics for garments where color consistency and wash fastness are critical.

  • Flags, scarves and silk-like materials – Controlled tension and spreading rollers help keep lightweight fabrics flat during coating.

  • Towels and blankets – Thick and highly absorbent fabrics that benefit from even coating and deep color penetration.


If you are not sure whether your fabric is suitable for TPM-E, send us a small sample or fabric specification and we will test it for you.
