Ink drying unit Infradry® combi

Overview Infradry Combi is an infrared-hot-air drying system designed for water-based paints, coatings and printing inks. The system combines powerful infrared emitters with a suction unit positioned inside the IR field to extract fumes and volatiles precisely at the point of drying. Its modular concept enables integration in industrial printing and coating lines.

Performance The Infradry Combi delivers a high IR power density: reflector geometry concentrates radiation onto the substrate for efficient drying. Emitters can be selected across a wavelength range from NIR to CIR (carbon) to match specific drying profiles. Stepless power control and optimized air management ensure process adaptability across different inks and coatings.
