M&R Introduces the Boomerang Return-Belt Gas Textile Dryer for Digital Printers |
|
|
M&R's new Boomerang Gas Textile Dryer features a two-belt conveyor that doubles garment dwell time in the heat chamber and returns the garment to the load end of the dryer.
While Boomerang was designed with the digital garment printing market in mind, Boomerang's configurable outfeed system provides for traditional single-pass operation when curing garments printed with plastisol or other screen-printing inks.
The dryer's ‘boomerang' return mode ensures maximum efficiency and productive workflow when curing garments printed on a digital press. Boomerang also features M&R's high-efficiency gas-dryer technology, 91 cm (36") belt width, 305 cm (10') heat chamber length, and a new control-panel that uses icons instead of text to control dryer operation.
 Not only does Boomerang have the highest production capacity in its class, it's also the most energy efficient. Heavy-duty thermal insulation prevents heat from migrating into the workplace, while CoolSkin™ technology leaves the dryer skin cool to the touch. Fast cure rates and high product throughput maximize dryer capacity and minimize per-unit cost. Available in liquid propane (LP) or Natural Gas (NG), the high-performance burner is designed with excess capacity that exceeds consumption rates under normal operating conditions. Separate blowers control circulation and exhaust, and a high-volume forced air system quickly brings the chamber to the desired temperature, speeding the start of production.
Process temperatures and set temperatures are controlled digitally. Temperature consistency is ensured by a fuzzy-logic controller, which responds to ambient temperature changes by keeping chamber heat within +/-1° of target temperature at the thermocouple. When readings fall outside those settings, a temperature monitor issues an audible alarm. Entry and exit openings are adjustable, and crowned rollers ensure positive belt tracking. An automatic shutdown sequence keeps the blower and belt running until the chamber has cooled. Boomerang, with its versatile conveyor system, is a great choice for almost any shop.
