Oxy-Dry Interstation IR & UV Drying Systems
Q:  Why should I consider an Oxy-Dry Interstation IR and/or UV Drying System for my press?

A:  IR Drying and/or UV Curing are proven ways to reduce drying times allowing for increased press speeds. Today’s faster flexo presses require higher press speeds to maintain their print quality. The Oxy-Dry System will dry multicolor work at press speeds. The Oxy-Dry System is a superior choice for flexo presses because it offers a unique approach utilizing IR Short Wave and IR Medium Wave technology supported by air manipulation technology to maximize its drying power.

Q:  What features distinguish the Oxy-Dry System from other drying systems on the market?

A:  An integrated IR Air Knife and Evacuator panel is sized to fit tight space requirements yet, still offers high-powered drying impact. A unique combination Board and Temperature Detection System will immediately shut down the Oxy-Dry Drying System in the event of a stray board thus protecting your press and eliminating valuable downtime.

Q:  Is it true that using IR and UV drying technology will help to make colors pop?

A:  Yes. Colors will brighten when exposed to both spectrums. This dual exposure will evenly trap light and dark colors on top of the sheet before it absorbs into the board and loses its luster.
