Custom-engineered infrared conveyor dryer for 3D objects

The 3D objects dryer stands as one of the brightest examples of Mismatic’s outstanding engineering capability to design fully custom-made industrial solutions. This advanced infrared conveyor dryer for 3D objects is not just a standard catalog product; it originates directly from solving a highly specific and complex requirement for one of our B2B clients: the strict necessity to perfectly and continuously dry metal spray cans immediately after the screen printing phase.
To safely accommodate bulky, cylindrical, and three-dimensional items, we completely redesigned the tunnel’s architecture by raising the entry clearance and highly optimizing the thermal airflows to prevent the objects from tipping over or overheating. The result is an exceptional piece of equipment that definitively proves our flexibility in turning a production bottleneck into a high-performance industrial machine.

Thermal and structural flexibility for curing three-dimensional items

Curing inks on convex, three-dimensional materials (such as metal spray cans, plastic bottles, or cylindrical containers) heavily requires flawless heat management to completely avoid warping or melting the substrate. For this exact reason, the 3D object dryer can be uniquely configured based on the customer’s exact thermal specifications: it is available with infrared-only technology, or with a powerful combined infrared and hot air system.
The material handling is equally customizable: the Kevlar® reinforced fibreglass belt is available for standard lightweight items (such as metal spray cans), whereas the heavy-duty zinc-coated sticks belt is highly recommended for securely transporting heavier 3D objects (such as resin-encapsulated electrical transformers).
The entire equipment is strictly manufactured on demand, allowing the customer to freely choose the exact dimensions of the tunnel and the conveyor belt according to their required production volumes and available factory floor space.
