Handoff Template
A handoff template for South African print teams, covering setup, testing, operating notes, and parts handed over on site.
How Handoff Template fits a live production week
This handoff template records what is set up and checked when a Flush Dryers unit is handed over on site. It gives South African print teams a clear note of testing done, operating points, and the parts supplied with the machine.
Record the press type, substrate, ink system, and the exact Flush Dryers unit handed over. Include site conditions that affect curing, such as winter mornings on the Highveld, coastal moisture in Durban, or unstable power during a production shift. The template should also note whether the machine is a ScreenMaster-style flash cell, a ceramic IR unit, or a quartz bank fitted to a garment or packaging line.
Add a clear photo of the installed dryer position before the first test cycle is signed off. That image helps the next operator confirm head height, clearance to pallets or product, and cable routing after maintenance or a line change. Keep the completed template with the job file or maintenance record used on site.
Site handoff record contents
After site handover, the team should have one signed record that matches the installed unit and the press it serves. The template captures test temperatures, belt or dwell settings, operator notes, and the list of spares left on site. It also creates a clean reference when a ScreenMaster-style flash cell, ceramic IR head, or quartz bank is moved to another line.
Enter the matching line note and log the cure information before widening the scope of work. Check the line details again before any unit or spare is released for sending. Dryer sizing depends on belt width, ink type and the pieces you run per hour, so list those in your message.
- Installed unit and serial noted
- Test cure temperature entered clearly
- Loose spares counted on handoff
Checks for South African print sites
Use the template to capture supply voltage, plug type, breaker size, and any extension or isolator used on the day. Many print rooms run mixed-age equipment, so record whether the dryer was handed over beside an automatic carousel, a manual table, or a packaging conveyor. If loading schedules or courier collection times limit further testing, note that in the handoff remarks.
Dust buildup inland can change reflector performance, while sea air can shorten cleaning intervals on exposed metal parts. Write down the cleaning advice given on site, especially for ceramic faces, quartz tubes, shields, and sensor windows. Where load-shedding or generator supply affected testing, include the power condition seen during the cure checks.

Operator notes to capture
Use the handoff template to pass on dryer photos, job timing, and any failed parts or previous repairs. Keep the subject line direct and accurate.
The handoff template should state the normal working height, warm-up routine, safe shutdown step, and who received the operating notes. Add any failed components removed from the machine, along with previous repair signs noticed during setup.
