Dryer likes and dislikes

An equivalent Sprint would cost a lot more than that.   24k sounds almost spooky low for a dryer that size.

We are roughly 10% more but in my opinion well worth it!!

Hey Rich,

is that 10% more than $24K or 10% more than going rate for the Air Jet?

Our Sprint 2000  with 8 ft of heat can be purchased for $27,000 and that is with a money back guarantee. It is with out a doubt the best dryer out there for conserving energy, cool skin temperature, uniform temp across the belt, and fastest cure.

I have a brand new sprint but with 12 ft heat and its the best. no doubt about it.

We recently purchased a new AirJet 76 inch wide belt 12 feet of heat with a IR Bump/8 feet in and out. The air jet has built in hoods that retain 90% of the heat at the ends of the heat sections and it is a very cool running dryer. I have never seen a newer sprint but I would love to know what areas the M&R is better built and why. We paid roughly $24,000 and some change what would a sprint cost with the same specs. We had an alarm code the 3rd day running and they sent there tech out the next day to replace the burner control, all I expected was for them to send me parts to replace myself but i wasn't going to complain.

we were getting quotes for MD-8 with 60" belt and 8' of heat without the IR bump and only 4' in/out for the same amount!
AirJet with similar specs was at least $10K more.

Same here. Seems odd.

What's the difference in the different Sprint models from your website? I emailed my local rep a few days ago but haven't heard anything back yet.

M&R makes many models and sizes of Sprints. I would be more than happy to discuss the models and benefits if you would like . e mail me a phone number and I will call you on Monday.

We were quoted 43,325 for a 60" HO 8-12-8 with similar venting at the ends to the aforementioned AirJet.  Maybe I need to get more quotes.  It just seemed like a lot compared to what was posted for the interchange.  Worth it I'm sure!  Just out of our budget.

your quote is for our high output version. Very few people need that much dryer but I don't know your circumstance. Don't compare a H.O. To anything from Interchange. Bad comparison at best because they are two complete items. Kind of like a Cessna being compared to  a twin turbo Beachcraft.

Ah, makes perfect sense.  I'll have a look at the regular models instead.

Make the time to have the conversation with Rich on dryers, he has incredible listening and analytic skills as well a memory like a CIA computer.  Describe your average jobs and those jobs you foresee doing in your production flow in the next 3-5 years. 

Have a scale drawing of you shop location you can e-mail him along with electric specs and he can recommend the best tool for your situation so you get the best ROI possible.  Don't be surprised if he suggests options you may not have thought of and they may not be painted blue!

Rich will absolutely give you the best info & with his knowledge base and resources -- just do it!
