Sprint International
Sprint International is the world’s first completely computer-controlled gas textile dryer, and the most innovative, affordable, and energy-efficient dryer in its class. It also has highest production capacity in its class, with high product throughput and fast cure rates to maximize dryer capacity and minimize per-unit cost. Heavy-duty thermal insulation prevents heat from migrating into the workplace, while CoolSkin™ technology leaves the dryer skin cool to the touch.
Sprint International models provide real-time dryer performance data, including dryer temperature, gas consumption, and the temperature of substrates as they travel through the heat chamber and as they exit the chamber. This information allows the operator to achieve exceptional curing accuracy and consistency. It can be used to program one of the thirty Job Recall™ settings. Those settings can be recalled later for any job with similar substrate/ink combinations. Swiveling control panels are rail-mounted, allowing them be moved to the front or rear of the dryer. Each dryer’s LCD touch-screen monitor displays key operational information—like heat chamber temperature, belt speed, and outfeed temperature—and gives operators complete control of parameters, alarms, and service data. A tower light shows when temperatures are within user-set parameters. When temperatures fall outside those settings, the dryer issues visible and audible alarms.
Available in liquid propane (LP) or Natural Gas (NG), the high-performance burners are designed with excess capacity that far exceeds consumption rates under normal operating conditions. Separate blowers control combustion, circulation, and exhaust. 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. |
