Litel Infrared Systems Pvt. Ltd. specializes in the design and manufacture of advanced textile drying solutions. One of their primary products, the textile hot air dryer, is essential for efficiently drying fabrics, garments, and textiles after they have been dyed, washed, or treated. These dryers utilize hot air circulated around the textile materials to rapidly remove moisture, ensuring high-quality, uniform drying without damaging the fabric.
Key Features of Litel Textile Hot Air Dryers
• Hot Air Circulation: High-velocity fans or blowers distribute heated air through the textile material, efficiently removing moisture. The airflow speed and temperature are precisely controlled to avoid fabric damage.
• Energy Efficiency: Litel’s textile dryers are designed for energy savings. Some models incorporate heat recovery systems, which recycle exhaust air heat to reduce overall energy consumption, a critical feature in large-scale operations.
• Temperature Control: With temperatures ranging from 50°C to 250°C, these dryers offer accurate temperature regulation, preventing shrinkage, discoloration, or damage to fabrics.
• Uniform Drying: The design ensures even air distribution across the fabric, preventing uneven drying that could affect product quality.
• Advanced Control Systems: The dryers come equipped with digital control systems that allow operators to adjust parameters such as temperature, airflow, and drying time in real-time.
• Applications: These dryers are widely used for drying various textile types including woven, knitted, non-woven fabrics, garments, and technical textiles used in specialized industries like automotive and medical.
Litel IR Eco-Dryer Series – Textile Screen Printing Dryer
Litel’s IR Ecodryer Series is specifically designed for screen printing applications, where curing inks effectively is essential to achieve color fastness, uniformity, and quality. These dryers use infrared (IR) emitters combined with air assistance to ensure high-quality curing with energy efficiency.
• Energy Efficiency & Productivity: The popular Eco-Dry model operates within the 18 kW-22.5 kW power range, with an average consumption of about 12-14 kW, making it suitable for multi-color rotary screen printing machines. This model consumes less power compared to flash cure dryers commonly used in the industry.
• Air-Assisted IR Technology: Litel’s dryers use air to assist infrared emitters, delivering superior performance and optimal wavelength for effective moisture evaporation. The result is faster, more uniform curing.
• Performance with Various Materials: The IR Eco-dryer produces excellent curing results on different fabric types, such as cotton, polyester, and blends, as well as on various ink types like water-based, pigments, plastisol, and discharge.
• Compact & Energy-Efficient Design: The dryer’s compact footprint doesn’t compromise its energy efficiency, making it comparable in performance to high-end European dryers while reducing operating costs.
• Proven Results: The system’s design and control technology have been extensively tested, delivering reliable and consistent results across various applications.
Features of the IR Eco-dryer
• Stand-alone, Self-Supporting Equipment: Designed for easy setup and operation with minimal space requirements.
• Integrated Conveyor: The system includes a conveyor supplied by Litel, ensuring seamless integration into production lines.
• User-Friendly Controls: Easy operation through a PLC with ready-to-use recipes and oven temperature control.
• Variable Speed Control: Stepless adjustment of the conveyor speed for optimal drying performance.
