BROWN DragonAir DAK-2408 User manual

DAK-2408
Digital printing is a specialty market requiring a new way of thinking. Rapid produc-
tion of low volume, highquality graphics is necessary to produce high prots. The
new DragonAir line of curing systems is designed for water-based digital printing in
fast paced shops. The Dragon Air Core Technology ensured consistent and complete
curing on all garments.

Step 6: Remove the cover plates from the feed extension
using a 1/4” nut driver. Remove the 3/8-16 nuts, washer
and bolts from the feed extension. Remove the 3/8-16 bolts
and washers the front end of the oven. There are triangular
trusses for supporting the
feed end of the oven. Sit
the extension on top of these
trusses.
Feed the motor and photoeye
wires through and connect
the ends. See Figure 2.
Use the hardware to secure
the feed end to both the
end of the oven andf to the
trusses. Secure with the
wrench.
Unpacking and Assembly
Tools needed
• 9/16 open end wrench or ratchet wrench
• 1/4” nut driver, manual or powered
• screwdriver bit
Step 1: Remove the feed end of the oven from the top of
the machine.
Step 2: Remove the exit extension from the crate under the
control panel.
Step 3: Remove the wooden securing board from undeer
the machine using a powered screwdriver. Remove the
main body from the skid and place into desired position.
Place the machine into a stable location.
Step 4: Remove the 3/8-16 hardware
from the exit end of the machine.
Step 5: Remove the cover plates
from the exit extension using a 1/4”
nut driver. Use the 3/8-16 bolts and
washers to attach the exit extension to
the end of the oven. The exit is to the
left of the control panel. Tighten with
a 9/16” wrench. Reattach the cover
plates.

Step 7: Install the dryer belt.
»Turn both tension adjustment knobs counter-
clockwise to move the roller inward. This allows
enough slack in the belt to loop around and
complete the splice.
»The belt should be fed so that it rests on the top of
the dryer frame support channels.
»Ensuring that the edges are even, connect the
two ends together by interlocking the splice teeth
and insert the splice wire completely through the
splice.
»Turn both tension adjustment knobs clockwise to
move the roller out. Only adjust the pulley so that
the belt is snug – do not overtighten.
Step 8: Venting is optional. There is a vent section that
provides a 10” hole for installation of an exhaust pipe. The
pipe can slide into the hole. See Figure 4.
Step 9: Connect to power. See the attached wiring diagram.
Warning: This equipment is operated by high
voltage electrical power and can be dangerous.
Only a qualied electrician should connect
and service this equipment. Safe and proper
installation of this dryer is the customer’s
responsibility.
Note: The wiring of the electrical supply to the
dryer must be in accordance with all local, state,
and national codes.
Warning: A 50Amp Branch Circuit Over-current
Device is Required on supply power for this
machinery.
The resistance heaters of your dryer operate on 208 to
240 volts, single phase AC. Motors and control circuits
operate on 115 volts AC. A four wire system providing 208-
240VAC electrical power, a neutral (common) for the 115
volt system and a chassis ground is required.
Refer to the control panel wiring diagram accompanying
these instructions. Check the following:
»Connect the neutral (white) to the main terminal
marked “N”.
»Connect the copper or green ground to the chassis
using the grounding lug.
»Connect the main power supply wires to the main
terminals marked “L1” and “L2”.
»Ensure that 208-240 VAC is being delivered
through the breaker by testing across these lines.
»Ensure that 115VAC is being delivered between
each of the power lines and the neutral line.
»Main power lines should be rated to carry 125% of
the full load amperes (FLA).
Machine Adjustments
Belt Tension
Apply enough tension to keep the belt from slipping on the
roller. Excessive tension is unnecessary and may shorten
the useful life of the belt.
Belt Tracking
Run the belt on high speed with the heat off to determine
whether the belt is tracking correctly. The knobs in the
end of the roller take-up plates are used to adjust the belt
tension.
Belt tracking is adjusted with the knobs on the end of the
conveyor frame. Increasing the belt tension on one side will
cause the belt to track towards the opposite side of the dryer
frame. Decreasing the belt tension on one side will cause
the belt to track towards that side. Additional adjustments
my be required when the oven reaches full temperature or
as the belt stretches with wear.Temperature Display: This is
the temperature currently being read in the heat chamber.
Bafe Height
The feed end of the oven features adjustable heat bafes.
These can be lifted up and down manually after loosening
the red knobs. Set to the lowest height possible that the
garments will still pass under the bafe. Tighten the knobs
when the bafe is at the desired height.

7. IR Bump temperature as a percentage of full.
Start Up
Step 1: Turn the “Main Power” switch to “on”.
Step 2: Wait for the temperature control to power up and
ensure all settings are where you want them. Adjust the
temperature by pressing the star button on the controller.
Use the up/down arrows on the controller to choose your
temperature then press the star button again.
Note: Remember the temperature displayed on the
screen will only be the temperature of the chamber.
Your substrate temperature will be determined by
the oven temperature and the cure time.
Step 3: Adjust the fan speed to ensure that your cure is
corrent for your process. At the furthest left dial position,
the fan is off. At the rst click, the fan is full speed.
Turned to the right, it is at it’s lowest. Recommendation is
the dial is turned all the way to the right.
Step 4: Adjust the percentange of bump heat. This adjusts
the rst heaters in the chamber with the goal of raising the
shirt temperature quickly for faster cure. This bump gets
very hot. 20% bump is suggested.
Step 5: Always check your cure with a stretch or crack test
and check the temperature of the garment using heat tapes.
Step 6: Adjust the belt speed. This reads as minutes in the
chamber. 2:00 for DTG goods is a suggest start time. Do
tests and adjust the speed to get maximum thru-put.
Shut Down
Lower the digital temperature of the oven to 0°F and the
Bump percentage to 0% and allow the chamber to cool to
room temperature.
Flip the power breaker off.
Dryer Maintenance
The Dragon Air conveyor dryer requires very little
maintenance. By following these steps your dryer will
provide you with years of satisfactory service.

»All conveyor belts stretch so periodically check the
tension of the conveyor belt and adjust as needed.
»Check the lint accumulation on the belt drive chain
periodically. If it is heavy, remove the lint with a
stiff brush after turning off power to the dryer.
