Conveyor Dryers & Drying Cabinets

Drying Solutions for Textile Printing FAQs

What are Textile Conveyor Dryers?

A conveyor dryer is an essential piece of equipment for screen-printing, especially for those operating in the textile sector who undertake high volume print runs. The conveyor dryer uses a belt to feed garments through the dryer where heated air is passed through to speed up the process of drying the designs printed onto garments.

Screen printing dryers are available as either gas or electric powered, and industry leading models such as the Pro-Cure have a touch-screen control panel to control belt speed and temperature. Adelco can advise those keen to improve their drying process in the textile industry, as the manufacture of the most technically advanced and efficient conveyor dryer on the market.

Suitable for digital and screen printed inks, Adelco drying cabinets use a temperature controlled airflow for optimum curing.

What is the Difference between DTG and Screen-Printing Dryers?

While both DTG and screen-printing dryers serve the purpose of curing printed textiles, their design and functionality may differ to accommodate the specific requirements of each printing method:

• DTG Printing: Utilises water-based inks that often require precise temperature control and gentle airflow to prevent garment scorching and ensure proper ink curing. Dryers like the Digi-Cure + are tailored for such needs, offering efficient curing without compromising fabric integrity.
• Screen Printing: Involves various ink types, including plastisol and water-based inks, which may necessitate higher curing temperatures. Dryers such as the Pro-Cure SMART are engineered to handle these demands, providing consistent heat distribution and adjustable settings to accommodate different ink systems.
