Transition Automation to Debut Sliding Paste Retainers at SMTA International
August 4, 2025 | Transition Automation (TA)Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Transition Automation, Inc. (TA) will exhibit a new Paste Retainer option in booth 2947 at the SMTA International 2025, taking place from Oct. 21-23, 2025, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL.
The adaptation was engineered to provide more flexibility to users of Permalex Universal Holder and Blade Assemblies. This sliding paste retainer with option code -SPR sits in the front of the squeegee. Users with a certain length of squeegee assembly now can use that pair of squeegees for smaller print jobs without needing to order smaller holders.
Typically, it is better to have holder and blade assemblies that match the size of the print width; however, in some cases this adjustable paste retainer may be more efficient. The product is available as an option and is retrofit on Transition Automation’s Soft-Touch Articulating paste retainers.
