The ProFlow mechanism is driven backwards and forwards across the screen
by the print carriage applying printable material directly onto the screen. This
alleviates the need for squeegees and a paste dispenser.
The ProFlow mechanism is raised and lowered, to the screen by means of a
stepper motor, applying a downward force directly onto the screen providing a
positive seal between the transfer head and screen. This eliminates leakage of
print material above the screen.
Paste pressure (pneumatic), is applied to the piston crosshead exerting a
force onto the print material which, in turn, forces print material into the
ProFlow conditioning chamber and into the screen apertures.
As the unit moves across the screen the trailing wiper, within the transfer head,
lifts the print material from the screen surface, clearing the screen of print
material. In addition, the trailing wiper creates a rolling movement of material
within the conditioning chamber.

The sensor used to detect paste may be one of two types:
• ProFlow Cassette Low Sensor - Reed Switch (warns the operator when
the paste reaches a certain level)
• ProFlow Paste Level Sensor - Giant Magneto resistive (displays to the
operator a percentage of paste remaining (time-to-go))
In both cases the sensor is fitted to the left hand side pressure mechanism
pneumatic actuator, as shown in the figure below.
