Oxytech Systems Variable Data and Interstation IR Drying System
Oxytech Systems actively engineers and delivers cutting-edge drying and curing solutions, drawing on over 70 years of expertise to serve the graphic arts and printing industries. The Variable Data and Interstation IR Drying System, featuring advanced 38″ imaging dryers, optimizes water-based, on-demand inkjet imprinting for both sheet-fed and web applications. This compact system employs short-wave or medium-wave infrared technology to efficiently dry coated, high-gloss, and plastic substrates, enabling high-speed inline finishing on a web press. The modular model 617 design allows printers to daisy-chain multiple infrared modules, creating a customized drying footprint tailored to specific production requirements.
The 38″ imaging dryers integrates short and medium wave, heated air knives, and an efficient air evacuation system to deliver superior drying performance. The heated air knives direct high-velocity, precision-controlled air to remove moisture from printed surfaces, ensuring rapid drying without compromising quality. The 38″ imaging dryers provide uniform, high-intensity infrared heating to dry inks effectively across a wide range of substrates. Meanwhile, the air evacuation system removes excess heat and moisture, preventing issues like smudging or substrate distortion. Together, these components create a controlled drying environment that enhances print quality, reduces waste, and boosts production speeds in demanding applications such as inline imaging.
Oxytech Systems equips the system with an Mitsubishi Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to manage operations with precision and reliability. The PLC connects to an intuitive touchscreen interface, allowing operators to monitor and adjust drying parameters seamlessly. This user-friendly design simplifies setup, minimizes downtime, and enables real-time adjustments to maintain consistent output, even during high-speed production runs. The 38″ imaging dryers incorporate advanced inline imaging technology, capturing high-resolution images of printed substrates. This capability ensures immediate detection of defects or inconsistencies, maintaining exceptional print quality during high-speed inline finishing on a web press, particularly for intricate designs or variable data printing.
The system’s ability to support high-speed inline finishing on a web press makes it a game-changer for modern printing operations. Web presses, designed to handle continuous rolls of substrate, demand drying systems that can keep pace with their rapid output. The 38″ imaging dryers deliver fast, efficient drying, enabling printers to maintain consistent quality at elevated speeds. This is especially critical for industries like packaging, where high throughput and flawless finishing are essential to meet customer demands and tight deadlines. By supporting a wide range of substrates, from lightweight paper to heavy corrugated materials, the system ensures versatility and reliability in diverse printing applications.
The modular design of the Variable Data and Interstation model 617 IR Drying System offers printers unparalleled flexibility. By allowing users to daisy-chain multiple infrared modules, the system can be scaled to accommodate various substrate types and production volumes. This adaptability makes it a cost-effective solution for both small-scale and high-volume operations, whether in commercial printing, packaging, or mail applications. The ability to customize the drying footprint ensures that printers can optimize performance for specific jobs, enhancing efficiency and reducing operational costs.
Oxytech Systems prioritizes sustainability in the design of the system, incorporating energy-efficient features to minimize environmental impact. The 38″ imaging dryers deliver targeted infrared heating, reducing energy consumption compared to traditional drying methods. The air evacuation system further enhances efficiency by removing excess heat, eliminating the need for additional cooling systems. These energy-saving measures help printers lower their operational costs while aligning with industry trends toward sustainable practices. By reducing waste and optimizing resource use, the system supports environmentally conscious printing operations without sacrificing performance.
The Variable Data, Interstation IR and 38″ imaging dryers ensure rapid, uniform drying, maintaining quality even on coated stocks. This system enables printers to meet tight deadlines and handle large orders efficiently. The inline imaging technology provides real-time quality control, capturing detailed feedback to ensure consistent output in high-pressure environments. This combination of speed, precision, and reliability makes the system a cornerstone of modern printing operations.
