Tunnel Compact specs
Setup notes and briefing numbers for Tunnel Compact.
Tunnel Compact footprint and clearance
The Tunnel Compact specs page sets out the key figures for planning around this smaller conveyor dryer. Review the dimensions, power needs and line position before fitting it into your print room.
Use the figures to check whether the Tunnel Compact will fit between the press outfeed and your take-off point. Measure conveyor height, overall length, entry and exit clearance, and the space needed to service the heater section without crowding the line. In Johannesburg and Pretoria print rooms, dust build-up around vents and panels also needs to be allowed for when choosing the final position.
Power details matter as much as the body size on a compact conveyor dryer. Before installation, match the listed supply requirements to the available circuit, isolator position, and cable run, then compare belt speed settings against the inks and garments you cure most often. A photo of the present line helps when checking whether the Tunnel Compact can sit square to the press and still leave room for operators.
Figures to verify before fitting
Read the Tunnel Compact specs alongside your cure log, not in isolation. Width, chamber length, and electrical load affect how long prints stay under heat, while ambient conditions in Durban or Cape Town can change how test pieces behave on first setup. Record the exact model reference before requesting elements, belts, or other replacement parts for this unit.
Connect the Tunnel Compact specs to the matching line record and cure log before broadening the scope. Confirm the complete line details before any unit or replacement part is prepared for dispatch.
Tunnel Compact checks for SA sites
On smaller garment lines, the Tunnel Compact is often selected where space is tight but cure consistency still has to be logged properly. Confirm the dryer position in relation to doors, extraction points, and packing tables so that airflow and operator movement do not interfere with belt travel. Sites around Gauteng industrial areas should also check how much room is left for cleaning lint and dust from the intake and control side.
Coastal humidity can affect initial test readings, while inland dust shortens the interval between routine wipe-downs of panels and guards. Load-shedding recovery is another planning point, because restart checks should include belt movement, set temperature, and the first cured sample after power returns. These notes belong in the same record as the Tunnel Compact line details.

Dispatch record and setup evidence
When you send an enquiry, identify the Tunnel Compact specs page and include the present line arrangement, measured gaps, and any cure issue seen on recent jobs. Add a clear photo of the conveyor area, especially if another dryer or flash unit sits nearby.
Link the specs to the matching line record before any complete unit or spare component is prepared for dispatch. If the request is for a replacement part, include the full machine details so the spec reference matches the dryer in service.
