Seven dryer configurations engineered to work inline with the full Screenotex machine range — consistent chamber temperature, custom-designed fans, and configurable heating mediums to match your factory's energy setup.
Fabric passes through the drying chamber in a contactless float condition — suspended on a cushion of heated air without touching any mechanical surface. This eliminates conveyor marking entirely and ensures superior colour penetration. The most capital-efficient dryer in the range, suited to medium-weight woven fabrics where surface quality is critical.
Fabric floats freely — zero mechanical contact eliminates conveyor marking on sensitive surfaces.
Precision-engineered chamber maintains uniform heat distribution across the full fabric width.
Suspended airflow drives heat uniformly into the fabric, improving fixation depth versus contact drying.
Simpler mechanical configuration than conveyor dryers makes this the most cost-effective entry into the range.
Custom-designed fans maximise heat circulation while minimising power draw, lowering operating costs per metre.
Configurable with oil, gas, or steam radiators to suit your factory's existing energy infrastructure.
The Horizontal Conveyor Dryer supports fabric on a continuously running conveyor through the drying chamber. Sophisticated automation keeps the conveyor in constant motion, ensuring equal heat exposure across the full fabric — delivering consistent colour depth and level dyeing across every metre of production. The preferred choice for pigment printing and for fabrics that require supported transport through drying.
Constant belt movement via sophisticated automation ensures every section of fabric receives identical heat exposure.
Supported fabric transport is essential for pigment-printed fabrics during the critical curing stage.
The conveyor carries the fabric — eliminating the linear tension that would otherwise stretch fine or lightweight substrates.
Optimised for fabrics with low dye penetration requirements where surface-level fixation is the priority.
Automated conveyor control ensures level colour across every metre — eliminating variation between leading and trailing fabric ends.
No width limitation — the conveyor configuration supports the full range of fabric widths in production.
The most versatile dryer in the range. A single machine combining both float and conveyor drying technology, switchable between four distinct configurations to suit different fabric types, dye systems, and production requirements — without any mechanical changeover. One dryer that replaces two.
Switch between float-only, conveyor-only, or combined modes to match the dye system and fabric in production.
Suitable for reactive, disperse, pigment, and specialty dyes — the configuration is matched to the chemistry.
One machine replaces two separate dryers — reducing capital investment, floor space, and maintenance overhead.
When operating in conveyor mode, linear tension on the fabric is minimised — critical for lightweight or delicate substrates.
The Vertical Conveyor Dryer stands apart from the rest of the range — fabric travels vertically through the chamber rather than horizontally, dramatically reducing the floor footprint compared to equivalent-capacity horizontal machines. Heavy-duty centrifugal fans deliver high-volume airflow, making this the machine of choice for knitted fabrics and all substrates up to 350 GSM.
Vertical fabric path uses significantly less floor space than a horizontal dryer of equivalent drying capacity.
Vertical fabric travel eliminates the longitudinal tension present in horizontal designs — ideal for stretch knits.
Vertical path and zero-tension conveyoring make this the optimal dryer for knitted substrate printing lines.
Constant conveyor motion via sophisticated automation ensures uniform heat exposure and consistent colour depth.
Engineered for high-throughput rotary printing lines, the Rotary Dryer Oil/Steam variant delivers highly efficient drying with an energy-conscious design. Variable frequency drives on all fans allow precise air circulation control calibrated to fabric type and print coverage. Excellent insulation panels minimise heat radiation loss — keeping energy costs low across extended production runs.
VFD-controlled fans regulate air circulation precisely for each fabric type and print coverage — no guesswork.
Engineered for the throughput demands of rotary printing lines — designed to keep pace with machine output speed.
High-quality insulation panels on all chamber walls minimise radiation loss, maintaining temperature with lower energy input.
High CFM, low-noise fans combined with insulation and VFD control deliver maximum drying output per unit of energy.
Motorised conveyor control system ensures error-free fabric transport with practically no longitudinal tension on fabric.
Built for minimal maintenance requirements — designed with the reliability demands of continuous industrial production in mind.
The Gas variant of the Rotary Dryer is built around a specialised gas firing chamber that delivers one defining advantage over other heating mediums: instant temperature attainment. From cold start, the chamber reaches the desired operating temperature immediately — eliminating the warm-up wait that reduces effective production time on oil and steam systems. The choice for factories requiring rapid heat-up and the operational flexibility of gas.
Specialised gas firing chamber reaches desired operating temperature immediately from cold start — no warm-up delay.
Purpose-engineered gas firing chamber for optimised heat generation and precisely positioned burner mounting.
Variable frequency drives regulate air circulation according to fabric type and print coverage for precision drying.
High air volume fans balanced for low acoustic output — built for the continuous operational environment of textile mills.
High-quality insulation panels across the chamber walls keep heat inside the drying zone where it is needed.
Motorised conveyor control ensures error-free fabric transport with no longitudinal stress — suitable for all fabric types.
The Supra Dryer is the most capable machine in the Screenotex dryer range — engineered specifically for high-pile and heavyweight fabrics that no standard dryer can handle. A dual-conveyor system supports and transports fabric up to 800 GSM through the chamber, making this the only Screenotex dryer capable of processing mink blankets, terry towels, and other high-pile substrates at full production speed. Where other dryers reach their limit, the Supra begins.
Two conveyors handle fabrics up to 800 GSM — providing the support and control that a single conveyor cannot deliver for high-pile substrates.
The only dryer in the range with the dwell time, heat capacity, and fabric support to process mink blankets and terry towels.
Extended pass configuration options deliver maximum drying dwell time for the highest GSM and highest pile fabrics.
Custom-designed heavy-duty fans deliver the high air volume required to penetrate and dry dense, high-pile fabric constructions.
Dual conveyor transport eliminates longitudinal stress entirely — critical for maintaining pile structure throughout drying.
Thermal oil heating provides the stable, consistent, high-temperature performance required for heavy-fabric drying cycles.
