Types of Flash Dryer
We offer the following Product
Continuous Tunnel Dryer
The continuous tunnel dryer can instantly penetrate into the interior of the material, so that the inside and outside of the material are heated at the same time, and no heat conduction process is required. Therefore, the temperature rise is extremely fast, and the heating time is greatly shortened, and the required time is generally about 1/4 of the conventional method.
Screen Printing Flashing Machine
Screen printing flash dryer, also known as infrared flash curing unit, is an incredibly affordable infrared flash curing system. It features a powerful infrared radiant panel for fast, consistent cure performance and exceptional durability. The adjustable curing temperature is effectively controlled, and the rugged, lightweight holder is easily positioned in the screen printing shop and has excellent portability.
Features of Flash Dryer
Dry Faster and More Efficiently
Using heat to cure ink sets it faster and makes the entire screenprinting process more efficient. Once the flash reaches the proper temperature, fully curing your print will take under a minute. With plastisol ink, you'll only need to dry the print for 30 to 40 seconds. The fast dry time can help you speed up production and streamline your processes for maximum efficiency.
Easy to Use
Using this device is simple. Place the dryer about three inches above the surface, and blast the ink with heat until it's cured. The ease of use makes it a very popular option for beginners. And with its compact design, the device is easy to store, too.
Improve Print Quality
Flash dryers cure ink more evenly and consistently than other methods of curing. Even heat distribution is essential for producing high-quality products. Plus, a proper cure will help maintain the integrity of your artwork by keeping it from aging, fading, or smearing over time.
Limit Errors to Save Time, Money, and Materials
With a quick and consistent cure, you'll be less likely to ruin your prints with smudges and smears. Flash drying can produce better quality products and help reduce the costs and effort associated with fixing mistakes. You'll save time and effort by not needing to remake prints. And, you'll waste fewer materials, as well.
Flash dryers vary in size. In the Riley Hopkins line, printers have the option to select either a 16"x16", 18"x18", or 18"x24".
Flashes have a "sweet spot" where the dryer emits the hottest, most consistent heat. As you may have guessed, the sweet spot is typically in the center of the flash unit since less heat is lost to external elements like the wind.
Differently sized flash units have different-sized sweet spots. Flash Dryers have an infrared heating element constructed with tight wire construction, reducing the possibility of having hot and cold spots. However, it's important to get to know your flash unit so you can identify the sweet spot and stay in it when flashing or curing garments.
If you mainly print standard-sized designs like pocket or left chest prints, 8-inch back designs, block letters, etc., a 16x16 or 18x18 will do the trick.
If you print a lot of oversized prints, you'll want a larger flash dryer to ensure it flashes the entire print.
Operating Process of Flash Dryers
Flash drying is a continuous process that can be heated either directly or indirectly. The moist material is fed into the dryer and exposed to hot air at high velocity. This hot air quickly removes the moisture from the material, producing a dry output that can be easily transported and stored.
Leave the product on the platen and place the flash dryer two to three inches above the surface. Leave the dryer in place until the liquid plastisol ink reaches its gel point of between 240 and 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Depending on the type of flash, this process can take from three to 15 seconds.
Avoid flashing for too long; otherwise, the next layer of ink won't adhere to the underbase. Ideally, it shouldn't come off on your fingers if you were to touch it, but it should still feel a bit tacky.
To fully cure the ink, begin by pre-heating the flash to the optimal temperature; this usually takes 10 to 15 minutes. You should warm up the platens, too. Separate the item from the platen and place it on top so the heat can completely penetrate each layer of ink. Swivel the dryer over the platen, two to three inches above the ink. Cure the ink for 30 to 40 seconds or until it reaches to ideal cure temperature. You can test screen-printed fabrics by waiting for the ink to cool down and stretching it a little bit. If the ink cracks, you'll need to flash it a bit longer until it reaches a complete cure.
A range of variables can impact the curing process. When determining the temperature and cure time, you'll need to consider the room temperature, material type, ink, and dryer specs. The kind of platen you use can affect the cure, too. You'll want to start with a warmer platen so you can quickly cure the entire layer of ink. Aluminum platens are the best choice because they hold heat for longer.
