Nortech ECO HD Frame with Four Locking Strips – 25″x36”

The Nortech ECO HD Frame is not only a cost-effective and time-saving solution, It is also eco friendly!

•    The frames are constructed using fully recyclable aluminum.
•    The mesh panels are 100% recyclable.
•    The mesh is securely attached without adhesives.
•    Recycling mesh panels supports a “chemical free” wash booth process.
•    Re-stretching on demand eliminates shipping frames back and forth, reducing the carbon footprint.
•    All frames are welded and are airtight, so they are dip tank safe.

Panels are woven into a plastic locking strip. The locking strip replaces glues, ensuring that chemicals will not degrade the mechanism used to hold the mesh in a panel or on the frame. The mesh has more longevity in your print cycle.

The ECO Frame is quickly gaining popularity in the industry for the reasons listed above, and many more.  It is constructed from a superior grade of aluminum for strength and consistency, and is produced using cutting-edge technology and trade specific engineering.  Aluminum frames have dominated the market for their dependability and light weight.  ECO Frames will continue that success to the consumer as a super-efficient product delivering a sustainable item that will save time and money for years to come.

The Difference between the Nortech Eco Frame and the Nortech HD Eco Frame:

Nortech Eco Frame:

• Material and Design: Constructed from a superior grade of aluminum, these frames are lightweight and easy to handle. They provide excellent mesh tension control and are suitable for a variety of screen printing applications, especially for manual printers and smaller auto shops.
• Eco-Friendly: These frames are designed to be environmentally friendly, utilizing recyclable materials and allowing for easy mesh replacement without adhesives, which supports a chemical-free reclaim process.
• Versatility: Available in various sizes, these frames can accommodate different mesh brands and specifications, making them highly versatile for different printing needs​.

HD Eco Frame:

• Heavy-Duty Construction: The HD Eco Frame is an ultra-heavy-duty version, featuring added wall thickness and a larger profile (1.5″ x 1.75″). This construction adds rigidity and allows for tighter mesh stretching, making it suitable for high-volume production and larger auto shops.
• Enhanced Durability: The thicker walls and internal cross sections of the HD frames provide enhanced durability, making them comparable in weight and strength to traditional M3 roller frames. This makes them ideal for frequent and heavy use​.
• Mesh Options: The HD frames also support a variety of mesh types, including Hi-TEX and Hi-DRO, which offer different benefits in terms of tension maintenance and print quality. Hi-DRO mesh, for example, is particularly beneficial for water-based inks due to its thin thread profile that reduces clogging and allows for higher detail levels​.

In summary, while both frame types are designed for sustainability and reusability, the HD Eco Frame is built for more demanding, high-volume environments with enhanced durability and mesh tension capabilities. The standard Eco Frame, on the other hand, is a versatile and eco-friendly option ideal for a wide range of printing applications.
