What is a Conveyor Dryer Used For

Textile printing has become a sub-industry in the textile sector. It involves printing garments like t-shirts and tops. T-shirt printing is done by screen printing method, DTG (direct-to-garment), and DTF (direct-to-film). The printing processes could be different but there is one thing common in screen printing, DTG, and DTF. They need a dryer like the Vastex D1000 conveyor dryer. The prints are cured in a dryer.

What is a conveyor dryer?

It is a device with a heating chamber and a belt. The belt takes printed garments to the chamber for curing and takes the dried and cured prints out of the chamber. The process is simple and convenient. The printed garments are placed with designs exposed on the belt and allowed to be taken into the heating chamber for curing.

Both the speed of the belt and curing temperature are adjustable. The belt keeps moving and its speed determines the curing time. The slower the speed, the higher the curing time. Curing freshly printed designs is necessary for quality and durability. For this reason, every t-shirt printing shop needs a conveyor dryer.
