DRYER - FastDry
High-Efficiency Drying
Dry faster without compromising print quality
FastDry combines near-infrared and controlled air drying to remove moisture efficiently from printed coatings, supporting faster production, consistent print quality and flexible drying control.
Faster drying
Near-infrared energy penetrates the coating to support rapid removal of water and solvents through the complete coating thickness.
High energy density
NIR technology concentrates high drying energy in a compact area for efficient inline integration.
Flexible operation
Operate with NIR, air or hybrid drying modes according to the needs of each production job.
Controlled energy use
Adjustable drying parameters help match energy use to actual production requirements.
How it works
Energy where the drying process needs it
FastDry combines NIR radiation with controlled airflow to accelerate evaporation while maintaining precise control over the drying process.
1
Printed sheet enters
Freshly printed corrugated board enters the inline drying section.
2
NIR penetration
Near-infrared energy penetrates the coating rather than heating only the surface.
3
Controlled airflow
Adjustable air speed and temperature support efficient moisture removal.
4
Dry output
Printed sheets leave the dryer ready for the next stage of the production process.
Key features
Flexible drying for different production needs
Near-infrared technology
FastDry operates in the NIR wavelength range from approximately 800 to 1,200 nm, concentrating high energy density into a compact drying area.
Hybrid drying
NIR and air drying technologies can work together to combine fast evaporation with controlled airflow.
Multiple drying modes
Choose NIR-only, air-only or hybrid operation depending on the substrate, coating and production requirements.
Adjustable air control
Air speed and temperature can be adjusted to provide greater control over the drying process.
Energy-efficient airflow
The air-drying system is designed to support efficient energy use while maintaining drying performance.
Integrated air filtration
Built-in filtration removes impurities from the drying air to help prevent contamination of printed material.
NIR
800–1,200 nm
High drying energy in a compact footprint
FastDry uses the near-infrared wavelength range to deliver high energy density where it is needed, helping remove moisture through the coating while keeping the drying section compact and suitable for inline digital printing.
Production performance
Turn drying speed into production efficiency
Increase line speed
Faster moisture removal helps support demanding digital printing production speeds.
Protect print quality
Controlled drying helps preserve sharp images and vibrant printed colors.
Adapt to each job
Multiple modes and adjustable air parameters allow the drying process to be adapted to different production conditions.
Optimize energy use
Controlled NIR and air operation helps apply drying energy according to actual process requirements.
