Air Flash High-Level Dryer (Flash Cure Unit)
Air Flash High-Level Dryer (Flash Cure Unit) - 18" x 18" / 240V / Without Auto Flash
SKU:
High-output infrared flash cure unit with forced air and digital controls. Adjustable forced air system protects delicate textiles during infrared flash-curing of plastisol inks, speeds the evaporative drying of water based inks, and cools the enclosure for operator safety.
The AirFlash™ Flash Cure Unit combines infrared heating with forced air to cure the ink while cooling the garment to avoid shrinkage, melting and burning of Nylon, polyester, Dazzle cloth, Spandex and other heat-sensitive fabrics.
It features a 140 cfm (238 m3/h) blower with filtered air intake that can distribute clean, heated air uniformly across delicate fabrics such as nylon. For flashing of regular fabrics, the air flow can be diverted to cool the outer skin.
The digital controls offer fine adjustment of heat from zero to 100% for repeatable results, diagnostic indicator lights for simplified monitoring, and a high-capacity solid-state relay for long-term reliable service.

Add an Auto Flash to Your Flash Cure Unit
The AutoFlash upgrade rotates the head of the flash cure unit into place above the pallet with the touch of a foot pedal, and automatically rotates the head away from the pallet after a user-adjustable dwell time has elapsed to prevent burning or under-flashing of garments that occurs when operators become distracted.
All AutoFlash units are now equipped as standard with an HMI (Human-Machine-Interface) to control and display dwell time and direction of head rotation. More visible from a distance than previous controls, it also displays a 'ready' message for the next cycle and improves cycle reaction by responding accurately whether the foot switch is pressed during or following a flash cure cycle.

FEATURES
• The Auto Flash unit features a high-torque DC gear motor and eccentric arm drive that actuates head rotation progressively for smooth starts and stops, and a foot pedal switch with 7 ft (2 m) cord for operator convenience.
• A "Breakaway Detent" feature stops the head from rotating if it encounters an obstacle, maximizing operator safety while minimizing damage to the flash cure head, the Auto-Flash gearbox and/or the screen printing press.
• Easy-to-read HMI display panel
• Powerful DC gear motor
• Selectable clockwise or counterclockwise 95° head rotation
