DryStar Combination - the End-of-Press Dryer for Every Application.
This is the most frequently used Heidelberg dryer and it is
indispensable for drying water-based coatings in the extended
delivery. The latest DryStar Combination dryer generation delivers
twice the output and air volume of its predecessor.
The key to this success is a patented array of round nozzles that apply hot air to the sheets. The small, round nozzles are distributed over the entire width of the dryer, even between the IR lamps. This means air is applied over a greater surface area, making drying more effective.
In addition, such is the acceleration of the hot air in the DryStar dryer that it is not deflected, even at the highest of production speeds. The nozzles create an air cushion that effectively counteracts sheet fluttering. Even when switching from heavy to light materials, the basic dryer settings only have to be adjusted slightly. This maximizes both productivity and gloss levels.
