Adelco’s jet-air conveyor drying systems have a complex and efficient high-velocity hot-air curing chamber and exhaust system.

This is carefully balanced to ensure extremely stable temperatures and efficient exhaust of water and other chemical ink and pre-treatment systems.

Adelco, based in the UK, is a manufacturer of jet-air conveyor drying systems and oval automatic screen printing presses serving the international garment printing industry. It manufactures eco-friendly dryers and has sustainable facilities. The company aims to increase its output speeds and reduce print costs in the near future.

New hybrid digital systems are one of the latest trends in textile printing. In the digital garment printing sector, new hybrid digital systems provide extremely soft hand print results and are providing the combination of screen, digital, foil, flock and specialty inks all in one machine such as the new Adelco AD hybrid printer and the Matrix Oval screen print machine combination.

The digital garment printing sector is growing at 30 per cent annually, and is expected to grow further as it has taken more of the smaller run screen print market following recent reductions in print costs and increased print speeds of some digital garment printing systems. Most of the digital garment print market is for direct retail, majorly e-retail.
