Ink drying unit Infradry® compact

Overview
Infradry® Compact is a compact, high‑performance infrared (IR) dryer module designed for inline drying of water‑based paints, inks and varnishes. It integrates twin‑tube IR emitters with focused reflectors, hot air and extraction to provide controllable thermal and airflow drying adapted to production constraints.

Details
The module delivers high IR surface power with reflectors that concentrate radiation onto the substrate for fast, uniform drying. Emitter wavelength and power configuration are selectable to match specific coatings and printing processes, ensuring adaptability across inkjet and flexo applications. The modular design facilitates quick emitter replacement and flexible installation in constrained production lines.
