Default Smallest dryer for New Auto

We are trying to take the plunge into an automatic press. We are looking at the Freedom as it has a small footprint, but also need the smallest possible dryer to go with it that can handle 300-500 shirts an hour. We've talked to some manufacturer reps, but are not sure they are giving us good info. What is your experience?

Default Re: Smallest dryer for New Auto

we have a lawson 24"x12' with three panels. we do 500 shirts an hour all the time. If the belt would go faster, we could do 600 or more easily. A 36"x12' dryer with 4 panels would be better, though.

I think you're gonna need a longer tunnel, the shirts are going to need a little time under the heat.

You will need probably a dryer with a heat chamber atlest 4' long and producing about 5 - 6 thausand wats.

Also if you want an auto with small foot print check out Anatol Horizon Mini. 5 color version has a diameter a little over 7' and 7 color version has a diameter a little less then 9'. Very good quality and price also.
