Rotary Screen Squeegee (for Gallus)

Speed. Stability. Superior Printing.

RKS Rotary Squeegee for Gallus Label Printing Presses

Gallus label printing presses are built for precision and speed—and the RKS rotary squeegee is engineered to match those demands perfectly. Supplied by UPrint Technologies, this squeegee combines flexibility with exceptional stability, helping Gallus printers achieve consistent, high-end print quality while improving efficiency on press.

Designed for Performance on Gallus Presses

The RKS rotary squeegee is highly flexible, yet sufficiently robust to maintain all critical printing parameters. Squeegee angle, parallel alignment, and pressure can be set accurately and remain stable during and after production—without deformation or memory effects.

Because in the end, printing results are what matter.

Compared to conventional stainless steel blades, the RKS squeegee design enables:

  • Up to 15% higher printing speed
  • No compromise in print quality
  • Stable ink transfer across long runs
  • Consistent performance on demanding designs

Built to Last — Protecting Screens and Productivity

The RKS squeegee features a unique, insoluble bond between the carrier and elastic print edge—a proven RKS innovation. This construction significantly extends squeegee lifetime while reducing wear on the rotary screen.

Thanks to its less invasive squeegee tip design, you benefit from:

  • Longer squeegee service life
  • Increased screen lifetime
  • Reduced downtime and changeovers
  • Lower total cost of ownership

Supporting Process Standardization

Standardization is key to repeatable, high-quality rotary screen printing. The advanced design of the RKS rotary blade supports process standardization regardless of print speed or job complexity.

Developed through extensive R&D and close collaboration between RKS and Gallus (Fred Rüesch AG), this squeegee is optimized to meet the exact parameter requirements of Gallus screen printing heads, supporting the highest quality expectations in label printing.

Premium Materials, Proven Design

Only squeegees manufactured with:

  • High-quality carbon or glass fiber support
  • Irremovable, highly resistant Vulkolan® print edge

can truly be defined as an RKS rotary blade. This material combination ensures outstanding durability, stability, and print performance.
