Install Checklist
An install checklist for South African sites, from floor space and stand setup to power supply and safe first heat-up.
How Install Checklist helps during a press-room week
Use this install checklist before a Flush Dryers unit arrives on site. It covers floor space, stand assembly, electrical supply, and the safety checks needed before the first heat-up of a flash dryer or heater bank.
Before delivery, record the unit type, the press position, and the electrical feed available at site. An install checklist for a flash dryer or heater bank should note inland dust, coastal moisture, and any load-shedding backup that may affect first heat-up and test curing. Include doorway widths, stair access, and the final stand location so the unit can be moved in without guesswork.
Add clear site photos from the operator side and the electrical side before the unit arrives. One image should show platen spacing or conveyor position, and another should show the plug point, isolator, or distribution board planned for the dryer. Keep the completed checklist with the cure records used on that line.
Checks before the dryer lands
The pre-install record stops small site issues from delaying setup. Note stand assembly requirements, working clearance around the head, and the safe cable route back to supply. When a unit is going onto an existing screen-print line, confirm how it lines up with platens, pallets, or the conveyor edge.
Add the install checklist to the matching lines note and the cure log before widening the scope. Verify the line details again before any unit or spare leaves the supplier side. Dryer sizing depends on belt width, ink type and the pieces you run per hour, so list those in your message.
- Power feed and isolator confirmed
- Head clearance measured at press
- Site photos attached to request
South African site conditions to record
Many local print rooms have tight access, mixed-age wiring, or shared boards feeding compressors and presses. The checklist should capture whether the dryer is going into Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town, or a regional plant where delivery access and power stability differ. If the unit must pass through roller doors, narrow passages, or a mezzanine area, write that down before dispatch.
At coastal sites, check for salt air exposure near open loading areas and note any extra cleaning needed on reflectors or guards. On Highveld sites, dust around the press can affect first warm-up checks and routine wipe-down intervals. Where generators or inverters are used during outages, list that supply arrangement with the unit paperwork.

What to note on the form
Complete the install checklist with site photos, available power details, and any access limits before the dryer arrives. Keep the subject line true to the job.
Complete the checklist with the dryer model, stand type, voltage, plug or hardwire detail, and the person responsible for site access on the day. Add any limits on working hours, parking for offloading, and photos of the current print setup. That record helps match the install details to the correct line and heating application.
