Hybrid Infrared Drying for High-Speed Flexographic Printing - 300 m/min Reference

APPLICATION CONCEPT | PRINTING

CUSTOM INDUSTRIAL INFRARED HEATING

PUBLIC CONFIGURATION REFERENCE

Dry ink between colors. Follow the press speed.

Short-wave and carbon infrared emitters combine rapid surface drying with press-linked response, interlocks and airflow.

300 m/min REFERENCE MAX SPEED

Reference data subject to application testing and specification review.

Industrial printing press for high-speed flexographic ink drying

The Process Challenge

Multi-color flexographic printing needs rapid inter-station drying of water-based inks. The web must also be protected whenever the press slows or stops.

The Infrared Approach

Short-wave and carbon infrared emitters are integrated into the printing sequence. Fast response, interlocks and airflow follow press conditions.

Finish the web

Application Features

  • Inter-station drying supports multi-color presses
  • Hybrid wavelengths address ink and substrate needs
  • Fast response follows press acceleration
  • Stop interlock protects stationary web
  • Modular cassettes simplify service

Typical Configuration

REFERENCE SPEED

Up to 300 m/min

EMITTER

Short-wave plus carbon medium-wave

CONTROL

Press speed, interlock and zone power

AIR MANAGEMENT
