Applications 

The PT-K1 High Grade Tunnel Dryer is a versatile and essential machine for textile and screen printing operations, particularly in Bangladesh’s high-volume production environments.

  • Garment & Apparel Curing: Effectively cures plastisol, water-based, discharge, silicone, and specialty inks on T-shirts, hoodies, jackets, sportswear, and children’s wear. The High Grade Tunnel Dryer ensures strong ink adhesion on cotton, polyester, and blended fabrics.

  • Fabric Roll Drying: Ideal for curing inks on continuous fabric rolls used in textile mills and large-scale yardage printing for fashion, home textiles, and industrial fabrics.

  • DTG Pre-treatment & Post-curing: Integrates seamlessly into DTG workflows by drying pre-treatment solutions and curing printed inks using energy-efficient tunnel drying technology.

  • Heat Setting for Pigment Printing: The High Grade Tunnel Dryer provides precise temperature control essential for pigment ink fixation, ensuring wash fastness and color stability.

  • Digital Textile Printing (Post-treatment): Suitable for ink fixation processes that require controlled heat during digital textile printing.

  • Specialty Printing Applications: Accurately cures reflective, puff, high-density, and specialty inks that require specific dwell times and temperatures.

  • Embroidery Pre- and Post-treatment: Supports garment pre-drying before embroidery and curing of adhesives or finishing agents after embroidery.

The PT-K1 High Grade Tunnel Dryer is a critical asset for producing high-quality, durable, and commercially competitive textile products across Bangladesh’s dynamic garment and printing sectors.
