IR Dryer
IR dryers are used as part of complete glass printing lines to dry glass after ink application. They include heating section, conveyor system, hot air circulation, exhaust unit, and digital controls. This setup ensures even drying and helps get the glass ready for the next production step.
- Each drying zone includes its own exhaust and fresh air compensation fan. This setup prevents temperature drops in other zones when one area is venting fumes.
- Available in 600mm, 1000mm, 1300mm, 1800mm, 2000mm, and 2400mm to match different production line sizes.
- Various conveyor systems options. You can choose from mesh belt, metal rollers, or ceramic rollers based on the type of glass and coating requirements.
What are the advantages of mesh belt, metal roller, and ceramic roller of drying conveyors?
- Mesh belt conveyor
Offers smooth and stable transport, especially suitable for small glass panels. The equipment is more affordable, but the Teflon mesh belt requires regular replacement, typically once a year.
- Metal roller conveyor
Requires minimal maintenance. Once heated, the rollers help raise the glass temperature, enhancing the drying efficiency. Although the initial cost is higher than mesh belt systems, there’s no need for future replacement.
- Ceramic roller
Also low maintenance and less likely to scratch glass surfaces. Like metal rollers, they don't require regular replacement, but care must be taken, ceramic rollers are more fragile under vertical force due to their material characteristics.
