DriVault Screen Drying Cabinets

Screen drying solutions for textile printers

DriVault 10 Screen Drying CabinetScreen drying cabinets are the ideal way to increase the productivity of your business. Using a screen dryer will greatly cut down the time required for a screen to dry after being coated either with a liquid emulsion or capillary film and in a busy T-shirt shop, this can be invaluable.

All screen dryers are also completely light tight to avoid activation of the emulsion while the screen is drying.

Screen dryers with a space saving design

Our smallest drying cabinet is also the most handy unit. The DriVault 10 screen dryer can accept up to a maximum of 10 screens and also forms a handy base for either the E1000 vacuum bed uv exposure unit for making screens or the slightly larger ExposIt vacuum bed screen exposure unit.

This is a great space saver and adds a something highly practical to any pre-press environment as the screens can be removed from the dryer and burned on the spot.

By adding the optional castors to the screen dryer, the entire unit can be quickly and easily moved to a new location if required. This is Ideal for a small shop where space is at a premium.

A single phase 13 amp power supply is all that is needed to run a DriVault and the total power consumption, depending on the model, is as little as 1550W, which is less than many hair dryers require.

Wide format screen drying

The DriVault wide format screen dryer can be used to dry either 10 wide format screens (as used with our DiGiT numbering system) or 20 standard screens. This is achieved by the use of a clever system that allows internal components to be installed and removed when required.

The changeover from drying 20 to 10 screens is quick and easy - simply remove the centre support tree and shelving, and in a matter of moments the unit is ready to accept 10 wide format screens!

A wide format vacuum bed exposure unit can also be fitted on top of the screen drying cabinet, thereby keeping everything together in one compact space.

Vertical format drying cabinets

High production screen printing environments naturally also need larger quantities of prepared screens, so the DriVault 24 vertical screen drying cabinet allows up to 24 standard size screens to be dried at the same time. This screen drying cabinet is fitted with a powerful fan and upgraded heater and easily copes with any environment that demands high productivity. Most importantly though, it remains extremely affordable when compared against other brands of screen drying cabinets that are on the market from European suppliers.
