Omega Dryer

Model 3612(shown to the right) -The Lawson Omega Dryer combines high-intensity, "color-blind" infrared heat with a reflective and fully insulated heat chamber that is specifically designed to maximize energy efficiency. Lawson's exclusive design accelerates ink curing by utilizing variable-wavelength infrared, hot-air and reflective radiation.

Model 4816-2 -The Omega is a multi-use dryer with easy expandability--great for textile curing, including all brands of plastisol, puff, jacket and transfer inks. The Omega (with the optional System-2 Jet-Air option) is also compatible with most solvent-evaporative ink systems. Maximum versatility, combined with state-of-the-art energy efficiency, makes the Lawson Omega the logical choice for the profit-minded silk-screening operation.



Model 4816-2


System 1: Color-blind, high-intensity, infrared radiation combined with reflective "boosters." Great for standard plastisol ink systems.

System 2: System 1 I.R. plus recirculated Jet-Air. Ideal for plastisols, puff, jacket printing, water-based ink systems and low-volume solvent inks.

System 3: Infrared, Jet-Air and Vacuumized Material Hold-Down system. For use with water-base ink and low-volume commercial inks systems. Includes powered exhaust.

Reasons To Buy a Lawson Omega Dryer

  • 5-3-1 Warranty Program: All Omega Dryers are covered by a five (5) year structural, three (3) year heating element and one (1) year parts warranty. We even pay for standard UPS shipping!
  • Adjustable Boom Control Box Controls That Keep You In Control: Lawson dryers feature "user-friendly" controls. The control box is uniquely mounted on an adjustable "boom" that can be positioned where you need it...in clear view at all times. The panel is clearly marked with the temperature, voltage, cycle, belt-speed and direction indicators. Solid-state components ensure fail-safe, reliable and consistent operation. Lawson controls offer complete trouble-shooting diagnostics, always in clear view, to keep you in control.
  • Modular Design: The Lawson Omega is designed to be fully modular. You can adapt the features you need on your original purchase to add/update in the future. Never worry about obsolescence again!
  • Adjustable Heat Panel Height and Angle: "Rapid Access" knobs and "Rack System" make for easy height and angle positioning. Variable from 4" to 7" for T-shirts, Caps or 3-D items.
  • Easy Access / Easy Service: No special tools required! Complete accessibility to entire heat chamber & hinged control box with modular component parts for easy maintenance.
  • Complete-Wrap Insulation: All Lawson dryers come equipped with high-temperature, fiberglass insulation, specifically designed to keep heat in, where you need it, and your costs down. The entire heat chamber is wrapped--including the end and bottom panels. We estimate a savings of 25-30 percent on your energy costs.
  • Triple-Wall-Plus Construction: The outside of the heat chamber is metal-clad with a rugged, double coating of solvent-resistant paint. Then we add the protection of high-temperature insulation. And, finally, a reflective sheet of metal-clad material "intensifies" the radiant qualities of the infrared. Don't be fooled by cheap imitations were excess air is removed from the heat chamber...this simply costs you money by "throwing away" good hot-air. Lawson maximizes, traps and reutilizes all of its infrared and hot air!
  • Roller Bearing Rod Supports: These eliminate belt sag and reduce tension and wear of the belt. Useable belt life is increased, by our estimates up to 50%.
  • Damper Controlled Exhaust: Save energy ($) with Lawson''s exclusive "exhaust combo." Adjustable damper regulates exhaust volume and heat loss. Control the precise amount of exhaust by adjusting the flue damper. Exhaust only the amount of air necessary; recirculate and reutilize the majority of your accumulated heat--a simple, but important, energy-saving feature.
  • Easy Built Tracking: Details of machine-crowned pulley and direct-drive motor; employed to attain center-tracking and reduce belt fatigue.
  • Adjustable Entrance & Exit Panels: Trap and retain as much heat in the heat chamber as possible. Raise or lower the entrance and exit doors/panels depending on the items being dried. Heat loss is always minimized and you can also raise, lower and tilt the heating elements for maximum versatility and efficiency.
  • Heat-Saver Plates: As the heating elements are adjusted either up or down, energy-saving plates automatically move in place to trap the heat in the chamber. Saving every bit of heat helps you items dry faster, more consistently and at less cost.
  • AT Package (optional): Lawson's exclusive Advanced Technology (AT) Package provides additional drying control and energy efficiency. The AT Package includes specialized diagnostic controls, a digital temperature controller (including theoretical and actual temperature), digital belt speed, double-wall insulation (2" thick) and more. The solid-state control system will provide years of trouble-free, reliable operation. It even comes with a temperature/alarm bell when something goes wrong and a flashing high/low visual display center to let you know when your dryer is up to temperature. Quality control at a glance!
  • System 2 Jet-Air (optional): Recirculating Jet-Air increases production, insures are more rapid cure with water-base inks and reduces scorch on nylon jackets.
  • Turbo-Cooler (optional): Accelerate shirt cooling and eliminate "sticking" with ambient/high-volume air. Bolt-on module with separate 120-volt plug-in wire.
  • Exhaust Hood (optional): Use on exit or entrance or both as desired. Damper control standard.
