Showroom Hours
A clear note on showroom hours for South African print trade visitors, written for teams who want to see flash and flush dryer options in person.
How Showroom Hours work for print teams
Showroom Hours sets out visiting times for trade customers who want to see equipment in person. It is for print teams comparing flash dryers, flush dryers and heat options before placing an order.
Bring the print sample, substrate details, and the press layout you are running now. Showroom visits make more sense when the team can compare ceramic IR and quartz bank heat against the jobs done in Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town, or a smaller regional plant. Power supply limits, dust, humidity, and the size of the print station all shape what should be viewed on the day.
Include a current line photo when you send the visit request. That image helps link the showroom discussion to the correct head size, stand option, and curing requirement for your print room. It also reduces mix-ups between garment work and packaging lines when several enquiries are being checked together.
What to prepare before visiting
A useful showroom session starts with the actual job in mind, not a generic machine list. Visitors should leave with recorded heat options, a clearer fit for the press they use, and notes that can be added to the cure log back at the plant. The point is to compare equipment in person before widening the order scope.
Add showroom hours to the matching lines note and the cure log before you widen the scope. Recheck the line details before any unit or spare leaves our side. Dryer sizing depends on belt width, ink type and the pieces you run per hour, so list those in your message.

- Preferred visit window for your team
- Need to view ceramic IR or quartz
Conditions that affect your visit
If the line is inland, expect dust control and reflector cleaning to come up during the visit. Coastal teams usually need closer attention on humidity, corrosion checks, and storage conditions for electrical parts. Trade visitors should also note whether load-shedding backup is used, because that changes how first tests and restarts are discussed.
Showroom Hours is for trade customers who want to inspect flash dryers and flush dryers in person. It suits teams comparing heater styles, checking footprint against press spacing, or reviewing spare compatibility before any unit leaves the supplier side. Bring the line details used on the current run so the discussion stays tied to the right application.
