DryStar

DryStar - for Optimum Drying from the Same Manufacturer as the Press

Also the Market Leader in Dryer Systems
Over 6,000 units installed worldwide - the figures speak for themselves. DryStar dryers have proven themselves in practice. Heidelberg is the only press manufacturer that develops and manufactures its own dryers. This ensures that the sheet guidance and the dryers are perfectly co-ordinated with each other.

Smear-free sheet deposition in the delivery is ensured, even at top press speeds and with heavy inking. The dryers are integrated in the press control system, which permits presetting of them by automatically loading configurations for repeat jobs.

Dryers are installed in the factory, so no additional work is required in your facility; the press and dryers are ready to run right away.

Optimum Accessibility and Operation
Our line of dryers is designed for maximum flexibility. Standardized modules make it easy to install, remove and exchange dryers without any special tools. It takes only minutes to switch them from IR/hot air to UV.

Via a CANopen link, the press automatically recognizes which dryers are installed. They can be operated either at the delivery control panel or at the Prinect CP2000 Center. All dryer modules are well accessible and simple to service. A water-cooled sheet guide plate gently deposits sheets in the delivery, thus ensuring maximum availability and a long press life.
