K3 walking dryer
The K3 walking dryer is an efficient drying unit designed for platen screen printing, widely used to dry silicone, plastisol, inks and similar materials. Its 800mm carbon-fibre lamps deliver strong heat up to 200°C, ensuring even, fast drying on a wide range of substrates. Five-step constant-temperature control lets operators set the right temperature for each job.
- All-weather operation
- Versatile
- Flexible control
- Controllable speed
- Energy saving and high efficiency
Key features
All-weather operation
Five-step constant-temperature control holds ±1°C from -30°C to 50°C ambient: fast heat in extreme cold, efficient moisture removal in humid conditions, stable silicone curing in any season.
Versatile
Combines every walking-dryer function to cover different substrates and a wide range of applications
Flexible control
Lamps switch individually so only the drying zone in use is powered, saving more energy
Controllable speed
Stepless travel speed adjustment sets the heating time to suit production needs
Energy saving and high efficiency
Temperature and speed adjust independently for efficient surface or full drying while saving energy
Safe and reliable
Left and right limit switches prevent accidental overrun and keep operation safe and stable
Efficient hot-air circulation
An optimised air path raises heat utilisation, speeding up drying while cutting energy waste
Specifications
| Strong heat output | 800mm carbon-fibre lamps at 1.0-1.2kW deliver strong heat and reliable drying |
| Controllable temperature | Up to 200°C with five-step constant-temperature control for different substrates |
| Energy-saving design | Lamps switch independently, so the number in use matches the printed area - saving power and cost |
| Stepless speed control | Stepless walking speed adjustment controls heating time for different production needs |
| Even airflow | A matrix of fans delivers even airflow and constant hot-air convection for consistent drying |
| Remote operation | Remote control within 100 metres: left, right, stop and lamp switching |
| Dual drive | Single motor, dual drive prevents slip and keeps travel stable and safe |
| Automatic return | Limit switches return the unit automatically at either end, removing manual intervention |
| Damage protection | If the dryer stalls or stops abnormally for more than six seconds, the lamps switch off to protect the substrate |
| Maximum heating tube surface temperature | 600±30℃ |
The K3 walking dryer uses a dual-drive system that eliminates unstable travel and keeps the machine efficient over the long term. Intelligent protection cuts the lamps if the dryer stalls or stops abnormally, preventing damage to the substrate. The design excels in efficiency, energy saving and safety - the ideal dryer for platen printing.
The K3 walking dryer is designed to dry semi-dry printed material and is widely used in platen screen printing, especially for silicone, plastisol and inks.
