Title: Gloves
Post by: Maxie on May 07, 2016, 07:16:07 AM

Our performance wear shirts are hot when they come out of the oven.
I would like to get thin white cotton gloves for the people working behind the oven.
Where can I get these at a reasonable price?

What about some rubber thimbles instead?  Better grip.

At the moment we are printing 5000 shirts both sides, that's at least 2 days printing, they need something comfortable.
We heated up the oven a little and ran it faster so the shirts are coming out hot.
Maybe I should put a fan over the belt at the end of the oven and cool the shirts down a bit.

My dryer (48" x 20' harco) has a unit that sets on the output with two small motors and 12" fans blowing down for that purpose, it makes a huge difference when doing performance wear.

Just make sure that air is not blowing back in the chamber.

This is what I have done in the past with dryers that don't have enough out-feed to keep shirts from falling onto themselves while still really hot. Like mentioned, slightly angled away from the heat chamber.
