Hood Kit specs
Setup notes and briefing numbers for Hood Kit.
Hood clearance and fitment points
Hood Kit specs provides the dimensions and fitment details for this dryer add-on. Use it to check mounting, clearance, and how the hood arrangement will sit with the press or line layout. It is the page for technical planning before the kit is ordered.
Use this Hood Kit specs page to verify outer dimensions, mounting centres, and the air gap above the heater zone before any bracket is drilled. On a ScreenMaster-style flash position, small differences in platen height, arm travel, or guard location can change how the hood sits over the work area. Johannesburg dust and Durban moisture also affect how often covers, hinges, and fasteners should be inspected after fitment.
Include a clear side photo of the current press or conveyor when you log the Hood Kit against the line record. That image helps identify cable entry direction, available swing space, and whether nearby heads, pallets, or frames will foul the hood during operation. Keep the same reference with the cure log so later temperature checks match the installed arrangement.
Details to confirm before ordering
Check the hood width against the active print area, then compare the listed height to your press clearance and operator reach. A correct spec match prevents heat from spilling where it is not needed and reduces rework on support brackets, covers, and guards. For packaging lines, confirm the hood position relative to belt travel and product height before extending the dryer scope.
Link the Hood Kit to the relevant line record and the cure log before you extend the scope. Recheck the line information carefully before any unit or replacement part leaves our side.

Checks for South African print rooms
Inland sites often need extra attention on reflector dust, while coastal plants should watch corrosion on fixings, hinges, and exposed edges around the hood assembly. If the line runs on ceramic IR or quartz banks, confirm that the hood material and spacing suit the heat pattern used on the job. Where load-shedding is part of the week, record restart temperatures so the hooded setup can be checked consistently after power returns.
Measure access around neighbouring stations before approving the final hood position, especially on crowded manual and automatic carousels. Cape Town and Durban workshops with tighter service bays may also need the hood orientation noted so future element changes can be done without removing unrelated guards. A first test print should confirm cure behaviour at the garment or pack height you actually run, not only at bench level.

Information to attach with Hood Kit specs
Send the line name, heater type, and a photo showing the present dryer zone with this Hood Kit page reference. Add any known interference points such as squeegee travel, screen frame overhang, belt guides, or existing shrouds.
If a replacement part is involved, note the current hood arrangement and mark which side faces the operator. Pair these specs with the contact form upload so dimensions, fitment, and cure records stay tied to the same unit.
