Oriented Plate Screen Frame Dryer with Calibration Table — Bangladesh

Machine Specification

Pre-registration and why it saves press time

On a multi-colour job, the slowest part of setup is usually aligning the screens on the press so every colour lands in the right place. Done at the press, this burns expensive machine time while an operator nudges frames into position — and on an automatic press that means the whole line is idle.

A calibration table moves that alignment off the press. Screens are positioned against fixed registration guides during the drying step, so each screen in a set has its image in a known position relative to the frame. At the press, the screens drop into place and need only fine adjustment. For a workshop running several multi-colour changeovers a day, the recovered press time is the main return on this machine over a plain drying cabinet.

Applications

Garment printing workshops running four-colour and higher work use this machine to keep automatic presses productive — pre-registered screen sets mean shorter changeovers between jobs. Label and tag printers use it where registration tolerance is tight and press time is costly. Factories running oval or carousel presses benefit most, since idle press time is expensive.

If your work is mostly single and two-colour, our Horizontal Screen Frame Dryer gives the same dust-free drying without the calibration table at a lower cost. The calibration function only earns its price on multi-colour production.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the Horizontal Screen Frame Dryer?

Both dry coated screens dust-free with warm circulated air. This one adds a built-in calibration table so screens are pre-registered during drying. If you run mostly single and two-colour work, the horizontal dryer is the more economical choice.

How much press setup time does pre-registration actually save?

It varies with job complexity and operator skill, but the saving is on the press-side alignment of each screen in a set. For workshops running several multi-colour changeovers a day on an automatic press, that recovered machine time is the main justification for the machine.

Does the calibration table work with any frame size?

It works with standard frame sizes within the cabinet’s capacity. Tell our sales team your typical frame dimensions at quotation and we will confirm the configuration fits your screens.

How long do screens take to dry?

Typically 30–60 minutes depending on emulsion thickness and coating passes, the same as a standard drying cabinet. Drying speed is unaffected by the calibration function.

Is the cabinet light-safe?

Yes — the enclosure keeps ambient UV off emulsion during drying so screens do not pre-expose. Standard practice is still to keep the workshop’s own UV sources away from the unit.

What is the delivery timeline in Bangladesh?

30–45 days from order confirmation to Chittagong port, plus 5–7 days for inland transport, installation and operator training on the calibration procedure.
