Textile Conveyor Dryers | Screen Printing & DTG Curing Units

Professional Textile Curing Equipment for Unmatched Production Quality

Textile conveyor dryers are essential for consistent curing in screen printing and DTG production. The right dryer helps you achieve repeatable results, improve wash durability, and keep production moving without guesswork.

At LWG, we offer a wide range of conveyor dryers designed for different shop sizes, ink systems, and production demands. From compact infrared models to high-output gas dryers, our lineup helps printers match the right curing solution to their workflow.

Whether you are curing plastisol, water-based, discharge, or DTG prints, a reliable conveyor dryer can make a measurable difference in quality and efficiency. Our dryers are built to support steady heat, strong throughput, and long-term production performance.

Commercial Textile Conveyor Dryers & Curing Solutions


An industrial textile conveyor dryer is essential for achieving consistent ink curing, high wash durability, and maximum production efficiency in modern screen printing and direct-to-garment (DTG) facilities. Proper curing ensures that plastisol, water-based, discharge, and DTG inks reach complete chemical cross-linking without scorching garments or under-curing production runs.

Choosing the Right Curing Dryer for Your Shop


Selecting the best conveyor dryer depends on your daily production volume, available shop floor space, power setup, and primary ink chemistry:

  • Infrared (IR) Conveyor Dryers: Ideal for startup and mid-size print shops curing plastisol inks. Compact units like the Kick-Start Infrared Conveyor Dryer offer high heat efficiency in smaller footprints.
  • Forced Air & Gas Conveyor Dryers: Essential for high-volume production, water-based inks, discharge printing, and DTG curing. High-airflow dryers remove moisture efficiently to ensure full curing at fast belt speeds.
  • Compact Shop Options: Space-constrained environments benefit from versatile, reliable units like the Workhorse Odyssey Compact Conveyor Dryer.

Conveyor Dryer: FAQ

What is a textile conveyor dryer used for?


A textile conveyor dryer uses controlled radiant heat or forced air to permanently set and cure printed inks (such as plastisol, water-based, and DTG inks) onto garments as they travel along a moving belt.

Which conveyor dryer is best for a small or space-constrained shop?


Compact infrared models—such as the Kick-Start IR Dryer or the Workhorse Odyssey—are designed specifically for tight spaces and standard power setups, delivering full production curing without requiring a massive commercial footprint.

Should I choose an electric or gas conveyor dryer?


Electric conveyor dryers are generally easier to install, require less upfront infrastructure, and suit small-to-medium production. Gas conveyor dryers provide lower operating energy costs per garment and higher airflow, making them superior for high-volume shops running water-based or DTG inks.

Can conveyor dryers cure water-based and DTG prints?


Yes. Water-based and DTG inks require active hot-air circulation to evaporate moisture before the ink can cure. Dryers with forced-air jets or high-CFM airflow are recommended for these ink lines.

Does Lawson offer equipment installation and financing?


Yes. LWG offers flexible equipment financing options along with full installation, technical support, and hands-on screen printing classes out of St. Louis, MO, and Atlanta, GA.
