I ran some shirts last night and I decided to temp check almost every shirt that comes out of the dryer.
With the same belt speed and the same temp setting I was getting reading between 315 and 355.
Could that be because my temp controller is allowing the heat to drop down by as much as 25 degrees from a set temp?
Also, I have noticed that the temp varies from shirt to shirt. I ran Sanmar's PC61 both in regular and women cut. Ones that are women cut were coming out with lower temp reading than a regular cut PC61.
Another question about conveyor. Would it be OK if I close openings for an exhaust fans on a top of the dryer and build a hood that I would install on the top of the dryers end opening? It seams that the exhaust fans draw the heat out of the dryer.
In the end, I decided to measure the time shirt is in the heat chamber, from entering to exiting the dyer. It measured 1 minute and 10 seconds. I have the heat set to 465 degrees wit the thermocouple being right under the panels (not at the shirt level).
I think this is enough rambling for one post
Thanks in advance
