TRANSCRIPT:
In screen printing a flash dryer is one of your most important tools. You use it everyday to print on darks, stack colors, avoid ink build up, and sometimes even cure shirts. But you’ve got to be really careful not to over or under flash your shirts,

and god forbid you accidentally leave a pallet under a flash that’s always running. FIRE ALARM!

Did you know that a quartz flash solves some of the most common issues screen printers encounter while flashing, plus it increases your efficiency and decreases your electrical consumption at the same time?

Quartz flashes use a high wattage heating bulb that fires up for a few seconds instead of an infrared element that is always on.

This allows you to easily control your time and temp to get the perfect flash every time and it turns itself off automatically when its done.

Quartz flashes usually aren’t used in small to mid size shops because of their cost, size, and the fact that they often require 3 phase power.

At Ryonet, our APG engineering team went to work to solve this problem and bring to market a Quartz Flash dryer for the growing screen print shop.

The HOTROQ Quartz is fast, energy efficient, safe, and affordable.

As your platen moves under the flash the HOTROQ’s optical sensor triggers its nine lamp 9000+ watt, 18x24 inch curing zone. Our special quartz bulbs output a unique medium wavelength which are optimal for flashing plastisol ink.

For water base / discharge users, we got you flashed too with 4 forced air cooling fans that provide airflow and keep the top of the flash safe and cool.

The bulbs automatically turn off after a few seconds leaving your shirt flashed and ready to print.

Easy to use controls allow you to dial in flash bulb intensity / heat, flash time, and the flash zones in three bulb sections, for lower, middle and chest prints.

To flash this print I have it set to reach 270 degrees on this meteor white ink for 4 seconds.

You can also run the flash manually on a pulse button start or with a foot pedal if you don’t want to use the optical sensor.

To hook the HOTROQ up we use a 50 amp single phase circuit which is about what a standard hot tub would use. The quartz can be directly wired by your electrician or comes with an optional quick release power plug which.

The great thing is that even though the HOTROQ plugs into a higher amperage circuit, it uses less than half the electrical consumption of a comparable 18x24” IR flash because it turns itself off after it’s done flashing.

The HOTROQ is a great flash and affordable option to use on a manual or automatic press and in the near future will also be adaptable to ROQ presses, have more power phase options, and come in larger sizes.

So if investing in the HotROQ’s efficiency, safety, and expandable technology sounds like a smart move for your shop, check it out on screenprinting.com and be sure to subscribe to our youtube channel to check out more great screen printing videos.
