Ink-drying system

Cogent Technologies has introduced the newly improved Model 5060 Speed-Dri ink-drying system, for use on target areas as wide as 4 in.

Designed for easy installation, low operation cost, and minimal maintenance, the system is an economical solution for improving throughput and expanding capacity. An array of fast-responding, medium-wave quartz lamps provide infrared heat directly to the printed ink, resulting in the breaking down of the boundary layer and immediate evaporation of the ink solvent. An integrated fan blows past the lighted lamps, resulting in heated air impingement on the target product surfaces. Line speeds to 350 ft/min can be achieved. Measuring 15 x 11.81 x 4.2 in., the unit mounts easily to most transports and can be mounted end-to-end to increase effective dryer length to 30 in. Two units can be mounted side-by-side to increase drying width to 8 in.
