As Fast as a Speeding Press
The market’s demand for faster presses means drying equipment must evolve to keep up.
Combination drying has also surfaced in some recent applications. Schommer cites one application in which an electric dryer was placed in-line prior to a gas forced-air dryer to assist in the drying requirement of the job. Another application had a gas dryer used to trap dry ink and a UV dryer to cure a UV overcoat prior to passing over an idler roll. Originally, the overcoat was to be water-based but room wasn’t available to air-dry before coming in contact with the idler.
