I have an MPM SPM and two Ekra E4 screen printers. I have always run them dry with vacuum. I am also using no-clean paste and have not had a problem. The volume I run per day on the machines is 4 - 6,000 bds

DEK is quite popular and getten replacement parts is easy in Asia. At this time we have EKRA which is really good for operators (I think, EKRA have the best GUI) and the mechanical design is much simplier as DEK designed. If I were you I will check s

EKRA is sold by Machinery Forum in Australia. They might be able to source a second hand one for you?

Thanks. I wasn't familiar with Machinery Forum but regardless the EKRA machines are just not popular enough for me to consider.

Thanks for the comments everyone. EKRA might be nice but they don't seem to have any presence at all here in Australia? DEKs do seem to be a very safe bet but they're just quite big. I made some queries on the nicer NeoHorizon models but unfortunate

I would like to spend around US $30K - $50K, I've got an offer for EKRA E1 inline Semi Auto for $35K USD but EKRA can't fit the 29" stencil frame. Is this EKRA any good? What is the best machine to buy for my budget? any suggestions is greatly apprec

Good morning, Russ is right. Mounted on frame stencil only may be used in both machines (stencil frame is standard). All other tooling is different. BR, Pavel.

Hi everyone, I am trying to evaluate the cost of buying new equipment. One of the concerns is blade holders, stencil frames and board vacuum tooling. How difficult is to change from Dek to MPM or viceversa without changing all our tooling.

I just flew in from (insert city) and boy are my arms tired. pr: Likely, you're correct. The "pound-inch" units should have been the give-away, for us. Good catch. If this is the case, the frame fabricator would be the best source for tensioning
