High-Efficiency Curing for Water-Based, Discharge, and DTG Printing
The BBC Air Conveyor Series Dryer w/Forced Air is engineered to optimize curing performance for water-based, discharge, plastisol, and DTG inks. Standard infrared dryers struggle with water-based inks due to moisture retention, leading to longer dwell times or multiple curing cycles. BBC solves this issue with a powerful forced-air system that efficiently drives moisture out, allowing for faster, more effective curing while maintaining consistent temperatures.
Designed for mid-to-high-volume screen printing operations, this 10-foot-long dryer features a 36-inch belt width, 12,000 watts of heating power, and precision temperature control within 5°F, ensuring reliable results across various ink types. Its powered exhaust system actively removes steam, preventing heat buildup and improving overall curing efficiency.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Optimized for Water-Based & Discharge Inks – Forced-air system accelerates evaporation, preventing ink from becoming overcooked while ensuring proper curing.
