The page you linked to doesn't have any belt printers.

Sunburst Apparel - Screen Printing

shows several pictures.

Sunburst (and Pat's original company Printworks) has been a legend in the belt printing market for more than 15 years.

Your confusion could be the term 'silk screen', rather than 'screen printing'. No commercial textile screen printer uses silk.

The 'dye' refers to the ink. Screen printing can control hundreds of inks from thick paste conductive inks for circuit boards to water-based inks pigmented with dye for an ultra-soft hand.
