| Q: |
I
will need to equip my press with a sprayer.
What type of sprayer is appropriate for my press?
|
| A: |
If your press is designed
to operate up to 13,000 IPH, then Oxy-Dry’s
roller-type Electrostatic Sprayer is appropriate
for your operation. This sprayer will deliver an
even layer of powder for superior offset protection.
For today’s high-speed presses that operate in excess
of 13,000 IPH, Oxy-Dry offers our newly patented AeroTrue™ Sprayer.
This pneumatic sprayer is designed to overcome air turbulences
generated by the movement of the high speed gripper bars and
delivery fans found in these high speed presses.

| Q: |
Offset
is a problem for me on occasion.
How can I prevent waste caused by offsetting a job?
|
| A: |
The use of a sprayer
device that applies anti-offset powders will effectively
reduce your offset problems. Oxy-Dry manufactures
a complete line of anti-offset equipment and an
extensive product line of anti-offset spray powders
that effectively deal with this problem. The type
of press you have and the work you do will determine
the type of powder sprayer and anti-offset powder
you will select.

| Ink
Agitators |
|
| Q: |
Are
Ink Agitators still used today?
|
| A: |
Yes. Although ink fountain
designs have improved, Ink Agitators still offer
preventative value. When ink is not properly agitated,
a skin forms on the ink surface. As it dries, this
ink skin can break into small particles which eventually
appear as hickeys on the printed substrate.

|
| Q: |
Do
Ink Agitators work with UV inks?
|
| A: |
Yes. Ink Agitators
work especially well with UV inks because they
require a smooth ink flow to the nip of the roller
and doctor blade.

| Short
Wave and Medium Wave IR Drying Systems |
| Q: |
Why
should I consider an Oxy-Dry Drying System for
my press?
|
| A: |
Infrared Drying on
sheetfed presses is a proven technology to reduce
drying times for increased press speeds. Today’s
faster presses require increased IR to provide
press speed drying. The Oxy-Dry System is a superior
choice for sheetfed 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: |
Can
I retrofit an Oxy-Dry Drying System on my existing
sheetfed press?
|
| A: |
Yes. Oxy-Dry has an
in-house Engineering Department experienced in
custom designs for the retrofit market as well
as designs for new press installations.
