I've got one for sale,its been in storage for a while so i'll need to give it a clean and make sure it working OK. Standard electric, ceramic elements, belt is just wider than a t shirt and the elements are height ajustable to allow hoodies to pass through. Its also got side elements for curing baseball hats. It was bespoke and designed/made especially for us, but had very little use - as said above, i'll need to check it out thoroughly but your welcome to view it when its been taken out of storage.

If interested please get in touch - i'm local to you!

Need to be looking at one of these myself, are you just using plastisol or will you need forced air as well for water based inks?

Had very little use, ceramic element tunnel dryer with top adjustable elements for t'shirts to hoodies,
side elements for curing baseball caps. Very well made to my specifications.
Standard 13amp plug - as you can see its had very little use

Sizes are:
Length @ 2300mm
Width @ 620mm
Height @ 1200mm - 1300mm
Belt width @ 510mm

Dry stored for a few years - Cleaned and checked. Worked fine when last used but for some reason there's an
intermittent fault/flicker on the switch for the top elements. This is getting checked on Wednesday by a sparky.
Want in the region of a grand - collection only.

Hi Paul,
I was print manager at my previous employment and had this specifically built for a very large print run of promo items for ESSO, and the occasional run of baseball caps. It was to work alongside another tunnel dryer on this order and other orders like it. The company had a change in ownership/direction and work tailed off, so I went self employed and took all the print equipment with me to a unit at the Whitehouse, Scotwood Rd, and then to Kingston Park Ind. Est.

I no longer have an industrial unit - but l still have the other dryer (see pic 3, inside left of garage) and use it frequently - the one I'm selling is in far better condition than the one I use, but its well over a foot longer, and space is very, very tight in my tiny workshop/garage.

I'm getting it checked out on Wednesday by a sparky - the thermostatic type switch is flashing intermittently, it should stay on when the elements get to the correct temp.

I'm after £1000 cash, but am open to offers - If you are interested i'll let you know when you can see it in action, but this will be after its been checked out on Wednesday as I wouldn'd be happy selling something that wasn't fit for purpose.

Cheers John

Sparky has changed 2 x variable resistors (maplin - under £2.00 each) and this dryer is now running fine. Had the belt running slow, then at full speed - both top and side elements on for a few hours, both at different temps, everything is working fine, even the extractor fan.

If anybody is interested in buying this dryer, they're welcome to pop in to see it running. I'll use it for a few days as I have a good print run to complete - then it'll be going on ebay.

Cheers John

Hi John,
Sorry we couldn't wait as we have 4500 t-shirts to print for Newcastle student Union by this Friday, as you know it's all go go go
in the printing business.
Kind regards Paul

No problem, good order that, just let me know if you need an extra pair of hands - lol.
I'll pop it on ebay now and see if there's any interest.

Cheers John
