SHEETFED DRYING/CURING SYSTEMS -- Running Hot and Cold

The actual installation process is simpler with a new press, points out PRI's Douglas. "All the power pulls and connections for the components can be made at one time," he explains. "Also, the auxiliary equipment can be neatly located around the press."

Tightly integrating the drying/ curing system with a press can do more than improve the appearance, adds Kuehn of technotrans america. "Ordering a new press equipped with a UV preparation from the press manufacturer not only allows for the space to install the system, but ensures that all sensitive components are made resistant to UV energy or protected from it."
