Questions & Answers

Q: Why is a gas jet-air dryer better for water-based and DTG inks than electric IR dryers?
A: Water-based and DTG inks require active air movement to evaporate steam out of the garment fibers. The Alpine Gas Dryer's Uni-Flo/Jet-Knife system continuously blasts high-velocity heated air through the fabric, curing water-based inks much faster and more cost-effectively than static electric panels.

Q: What configurations are available if I have limited floor space?
A: Standard Alpine setups feature an 8' convection chamber with 4' in-feed and out-feed sections (16' total length). For tighter footprints or restricted power, Lawson also manufactures compact gas options like the Omega Gas Express at 12 feet overall length.

Q: Can the Alpine handle both natural gas and liquid propane?
A: Yes. The Alpine can be factory-configured or converted to run on either natural gas or propane, depending on your facility's utility setup.

Q: Where can I see the Alpine Gas Dryer in person or discuss custom sizing?
A: You can schedule a demo or speak with our engineering team at our regional hubs in St. Louis, MO or Marietta, GA.
