Hirsch Announces New Adelco Duplex Textile Dryer

Hirsch announces Adelco's new Duplex textile dryer, a double-decker oven designed for high production digital textile printers that need a long cure time in minimal floor space. Screen printers also can benefit from the Duplex dryer concept to reduce the footprint of conventional dryers. This machine provides 20 feet of oven-curing capacity in the same footprint as a 10-foot oven. The Duplex is very efficient with low-energy consumption due to its single gas burner and seven kilowatt-hour electrical connection. It is ecologically-friendly, having the lowest carbon footprint in the world, according to Adelco. The Duplex has two independent upper and lower conveyor belts with speeds that can be automatically set to minutes and seconds. There is also an independent high-velocity jet air supply to each belt. The belt is easily loaded from the front or sides. Other features on the Duplex dryer include the infeed and outfeed exhausts that remove chemicals and contaminated air escaping into the workplace, easy-to-clean air filters that require no replacement and a triple insulation air curtain that maintains a cool exterior skin and adds to efficiency.
