A flash dryer is a type of industrial equipment used to quickly remove moisture from materials, typically in the printing and textile industries. It works by using hot air to rapidly evaporate water or solvents from the surface of the material, ensuring a fast drying process. This is particularly useful for items like screen-printed fabrics or coated papers. The design of a flash dryer often includes a conveyor belt that moves the material through a heated chamber. This allows for continuous operation, making it efficient for high-volume production. Flash dryers are essential for improving productivity and maintaining quality in various manufacturing processes.
