Most configurations are shipped in a single piece, saving on shipping as well as field assembly. The integral combustion blower and exhaust fan eliminates dryer mounting of the fan. It also reduces duct work requirements, saving installation costs. The built-in web guide system makes press line and dryer setup simple and fast. Vertical sliding doors provide protection for pressroom personnel working directly in front of the dryer.
Ambient air infiltrating the dryer is one of the major causes of condensate.
The web exit slot features a smoke tunnel that not only limits infiltration, but also captures evaporating solvents from the exiting web. The system air temperature is controlled as a function of web temperature. This is the most accurate and direct measurement approach for determining the drying effect on the web. Dryer control can be easily integrated with central press and Webline control systems. The system also stores and displays recent fault history and prompts scheduled maintenance.
