looking for a large dryer. Any leads?
« on: October 11, 2020, 07:00:42 AM »
we are looking for a large dryer and am hoping somebody might know of one that's available.
prefer a 72" belt with 12-16' of heat. would be interested in 60 with 12 or more also.
thanx,
pierre

yeah, everything is happening rather suddenly so I've been looking everywhere I can think of. Need to have it installed by the end of the month.

setting up DTG for print on demand. First customer wants 500-700 shirts per day last 6 weeks of the year. Our EPSON was installed last week and we are dialing things in. It turns out that using the dryer instead of the heat presses has a lot of benefits. So we will pretreat and print on the same side of the dryer and use half the belt for DTG and the other half to pretreat. considering it takes 3-4 min to cure the shirt we need something big. Just running one printer at 60 shirts per hour and 60 shirts of pretreat is 120. if we add another printer now we are at 240 shirts per hour.

Pierre chances are you need a split belt dryer.       Drying times for DTG are totally different to Plastisol.      Might even be worthwhile running two dryers, you can look for a smaller gas dryer for your DTG, gives you the option of not having everything crowded around your dryer.     I'm interested to see how the Epson handles those numbers and also the cost per print.

this is going into a different space. it will be dedicated DTG dryer.
