ABSTRACT:
A dryer is disclosed in a compact design for interstation use on printing presses, particularly lithographic presses. High velocity air is combined with intense infrared radiation to heat, evaporate and scrub vapor from freshly printed substrates. Air under pressure is provided through passages in a housing which is passed toward and by the infrared lamp in such a way as to cool the lamp and thereafter impact the substrate being dried. A pressure sensing control prevents operation of the lamp without the cooling air. The lamp power circuit is switched off if air pressure is lost. The dryer is mounted in an extractor housing provided with a negative pressure to extract the supplied air after it impacts upon the substrate.
