moving parts. It may employ natural gas or propane, mechanical or pneumatic forces, and/or
hazardous voltages, and may create other conditions that could, through misuse, abuse,
unauthorized alteration or retrofitting, inattention, or lack of understanding, result in injury, death, or
damage to the product or to other equipment. In addition, improper operation may also depreciate
the value of the machine and other assets of the owner, and impair the working efficiency of the
machine.

• Compressed Air (Pneumatic Energy)

• Electricity

• Gas (Natural Gas or Propane)

Each form of energy presents its own unique hazards and requires appropriate precautions.
Only qualified personnel should be allowed to work on pneumatic components or assemblies. Before

work is started on pneumatic components or assemblies, equipment should be disconnected from the
air supply and all pneumatic lines should be purged to prevent accidental operation of pneumatic
assemblies. All pneumatic pipes and hoses should be checked frequently for da mage and wear.

Inspection

Dryer
Components

Carefully inspect for signs of damage in transit. If equipment has been damaged in transit, notify the
Freight Forwarder immediately. M&R is not responsible for damage that occurs during transp ortation.

The dryer consists of eight basic components. (See Figure 1) Lamp/Reflector Assembly (1),
Vacuum Plenum (2), Vacuum/Exhaust Assembly (3), Power Cabinet (4), Support Rails (5), Su pport
Legs (6), Infeed Conveyor (7) and Outfeed Conveyor (8).

Hardware and
Tools

Step 1

Step 2

Figure 1
Included is the required assembly hardware. Package consists of: 3/8” hex head bolts, washers, lock

washers and nuts. Additional tools required: 1/2”, 9/16”, 3/4” and 15/16” Combination Wrenches,
5/16” Hex Wrench and Level.

Place the conveyor sections in the area where the dryer
will be used. Numbers (1) are attached to the sides of all
sections of the conveyor assembly. Match the numbers to
assemble the equipment.

For example, the infeed section of the conveyor is marked
with reference number 2. Assemble the support rails, using
the 3/8” - 16 hex bolts, washers, lock washers and hex
nuts, with the conveyor and support leg (2). The numbers
are designed so that they may be removed at the
completion of the assembly.

Do not tighten the bolts for the support legs at this time.
The dryer must be leveled before tightening these bolts.

Level dryer along the conveyor length and across the UV
assembly. Use adjusting pads (1) to level. After leveling,
tighten the locknut (2).

Position the Vacuum/Exhaust Assembly under the Vacuum
Plenum.

Note: Position the Vacuum/Exhaust Assembly on the side of the

conveyor opposite the control panel to allow for the
attachment of the exhaust ducting by your
Heating/Ventilation Contractor.

Two 5” diameter and one 10” diameter flexible duct hoses
are supplied with the dryer. Using the hose clamps
provided, attach one 5” hose on each side of the
lamp/reflector housing assembly. The other ends of these
hoses attach to the dual hose duct assembly (1) on the
Vacuum/Exhaust Assembly. The larger 10” hose is
attached to the opening on the underside of the conveyor
below the vacuum plenum (2). Using the hose clamp
provided, attach the other end of the 10” hose to the
exhaust blower port on the Vacuum/Exhaust Assembly (3).

V.112910 Vitran II™

Step 5a

Step 5b

To complete installation of the Conveyor Belt, use a 3/4”
wrench to move the infeed roller all the way in by turning
the adjustment bolts counterclockwise.

Note: Do not adjust the Outfeed Roller.

Pull the Conveyor Belt out and around the Infeed Roller
(11), and then place it flat across the top of the Support
Rails (12). Feed the remainder of the belt through the
Vacuum Plenum and bring the two ends together.

Step 5c

Step 6

Remove metal pin from one end of the metal lacing. Connect both ends of Conveyor Belt by aligning
the metal lacing and re-inserting metal pin.

Conveyor Belt Tensioning

Tension the belt by turning both Infeed Roller adjustment bolts an even number of turns clockwise,
until the belt starts to move. Next, place enough product on the belt to simulate production. Run the
belt and make sure the belt does not slip. If the belt slips, turn both Infeed Roller adjustment bolts
evenly in 1/2 turn increments until the belt starts to move again.

WARNING: Do not over-tension the Conveyor Belt. Over-tensioning puts unnecessary strain on the
Conveyor Drive Motor and shortens Conveyor Belt life. DAMAGE TO THE BELT DUE TO OVER-

TENSIONING IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY!

Conveyor Belt Tracking
IMPORTANT: Do not adjust the Outfeed Roller.

The infeed and outfeed rollers use a “crowned” design, meaning that the roller is thicker in the middle
than it is on the ends. When properly tensioned, this helps the Conveyor Belt track more efficiently.

Use a 3/4” wrench on the Infeed Roller to adjust tracking. Do not adjust the bolts more than 1/2 turn
at a time, and test belt tracking after every adjustment.

Note: To see tracking results faster, set the conveyor speed to its maximum setting.

Turn the left tension bolt counterclockwise if the belt is tracking to the right.
Turn the right tension bolt counterclockwise if the belt is tracking to the left.

IMPORTANT: Upon the initial start up of the dryer you will notice the elasticity of the Conveyor Belt
will change in reaction to exposure in the UV Chamber. This is a normal condition. For belt tracking,
allow a minimum of four hours running time with both heat and cool down cycles for proper
adjustments. This practice allows a new belt to compensate for expansion during initial adjustment
and dryer operation. Monitor the belt for the first 30 days of operation and make adjustments, as
outlined above, when necessary.

Initial recommended belt speed is 15’ (4.57M) per minute. After starting your dryer, adjust belt speed
accordingly.

5.3 Principles of UV Curing

Operating
Principles

Curing Stations

Power Level

The UV (Ultraviolet) curing stations consist of a single or multiple reflector and reflector
housing, power component cabinet/control panel, mercury vapor lamp and cooling/venting
system. The standard mercury vapor lamp generates three distinct forms of energy:
ultraviolet, infrared (heat), and intense (visible) light. The curing system works by controlled
exposure of the monomers and sensitizers in the ink to the ultraviolet energy produced by
the mercury vapor lamp. This process, known as polymerization, cross links the monomers
and results in “instant” curing, leaving the substrate immediately available for further
processing. The UV curing stations are designed to maximize the effects of the ultraviolet
energy while minimizing infrared energy and protecting the operator from the potentially
harmful effects of direct eye or skin contact with UV radiation.

The UV curing stations incorporate a unique air-cooled system to minimize the effects of the
infrared energy (heat) generated by the mercury vapor lamp. The system consists of the
following components:

1. A vacuum turbine draws ambient (room temperature) air through the entry and exit
sections of the UV curing module, and through circular grates located on top of the
reflector housing. Due to the reflectors unique inner sleeve design, this ambient air can
reach the reflector without exposing the operator to stray UV light rays. At the same
time, the vacuum turbine draws heated air from under the reflector through a narrow
channel at the top of the reflector. This heated air is then exhausted through the two
flexible hoses attached at both ends of the reflector housing.

2. A patented (U.S. Patent No. 5,216,820) reflector is designed to reflect energy around
the UV lamp rather than back onto it. This results in lower operating temperatures and
extends the life of the UV lamp.

Note: Because the UV system cools the substrate by directing cooling air across the sheet, not down

onto it, problems with the substrate shifting or fluttering while under the lamp housing are
minimized.

The proper power level setting (watts per inch) is determine d by several factors and will
require some trials before optimum curing results are achieved. The conveyor speed should
be run as fast as possible to achieve proper cure and adhesion. Lower speeds may result in
over-curing, causing inter-coat adhesion problems. There are several factors to consider
when determining speed and lamp power level settings:

1. Type and viscosity of the ink: A mercury vapor lamp emits a range of UV energy that
is appropriate for most UV applications. However, different ink characteristics, such as
pigments and resins, will affect the specific curing rate. Heavier ink deposits, more
opaque films and some metal and glass substrates generally require greater exposure
to UV energy.

2.

Lamp position: The UV Stations feature adjustable lamp height that can be adjusted to
accommodate various substrate types and thicknesses.

3. Lamp Life: As the lamp ages it may draw less current, which indicates the approaching
need for replacement. Decreasing the conveyor speed may be necessary at this point to
insure proper cure.

5.4 Operation Overview

5.4.1 Lamp Focus

Unfocused
Setting

Focused
Setting

The lamp is closer to the reflector. This generates
wider, less aggressive band of UV energy and
also generates more infrared energy for less heat­sensitive substrates such as heavy styrene, metal,
glass and polystyrene. The unfocused setting can
be advantageous for ink and substrates which
require heat to “set up” the curing process.

The lamp is moved down away from the reflector
and closer to the conveyor belt surface. This
setting generates a more highly concentrated
band of UV energy and generates less infrared
energy. It is recommended for heat-sensitive
substrates.
To adjust:
Use a hex wrench to loosen the screws (1) and
then slide the lamp cradle (2) all the way up
(unfocused), or all the way down (focused).
Tighten screws (1). Repeat for other side of lamp
assembly.

5.5 Dryer Startup/Shutdown

Step 1 Dryer Startup

7. Troubleshooting

General Guide

Schematic

Problem Probable Causes Solution

Image not cured.

The cured image
exhibits poor
intercoat adhesion.

The cured image is
blocking or offsetting
when stacked.

The cured image
indicates poor ink
flow, orange peel, pin
holes.

The cured image
exhibits a “dried in
the screen”
appearance in some
areas of the print.

The following information is provided as a guide for troubleshooting. If you have any questions
regarding the installation, operation, or preventive maintenance procedures for this equipment,
contact The M&R Companies Service Department. Anyone using this troubles hooting guide should
have a working knowledge of electrical power and the control systems an d on this equipment.

Electrical schematics are located in the back of this manual.

UV power output setting is too
low.
The lamp reflector may be
contaminated with dirt or dust.
The ink film deposit is too
thick.

The conveyor speed is too fast.
UV power output setting is too

low.
The lamp reflector may be
contaminated with dirt or dust.

The conveyor speed is too fast.
The color density of the ink

may be too great for proper
cure.
UV power output setting is too
high.

Check the UV lamp for proper
power output.

The conveyor speed is too
slow.
The off-contact adjustment on
the press may be set too high.
Check screen mesh tension, it
may not be tight enough.

Ink viscosity may be too high.
Check the stencil. Is the screen

mesh clear? Are you using the
proper mesh count to achieve
the desired print and curing
results?
Check the room lighting (over­head lighting) in the area of the
screen. Some industrial light
sources emit enough ultraviolet
energy to begin the cross­linking (premature curing) of
the ink while it is in the screen.

Increase the UV power output to a higher watts/inch
setting.
Clean the reflector as outline in the Scheduled
Maintenance section.
Check the mesh count of the screen which may result in
too thick an ink film.
Decrease the conveyor speed to increase exposure
time.
Increase the UV power output to a higher watts/inch
setting.
Clean the reflector as outline in the Scheduled
Maintenance section.
Decrease the conveyor speed to increase exposure
time.
Changed color density of ink.

Decrease the UV power output to a lower watts/inch
setting.
If the lamp is approaching its maximum service life,
replace the lamp. The UV lamp should be replaced after
every 1000 hours of service.
Increase the conveyor speed to decrease exposure time.

Reduce off-contact adjustment slightly.
Retighten screen if necessary.
Changed ink viscosity.

Change screen or mesh count if necessary.

Change lighting if necessary.

8. Replacement Parts

CE vs. UL
Models

All equipment containing electrical components is designed to comply with either Conformance
European (CE) or Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standards, and each type of equipment has a

different parts list. CE equipment runs at 50 Hz; UL equipment runs at 60 Hz. Electrical
specifications, including Hertz, can be found on the Manufacturer’s Rating Plate similar to the one
shown below.

Note: You must verify whether your equipment is 50 Hz (CE) or 60 Hz (UL) and order parts accordingly.

Electrical Parts

DANGER: Operating this equipment with incorrect electrical parts can result in severe or fata l

personal injuries and/or property damage.

DANGER: The Ballasts (Transformers) used on this equipment, when in operation, outputs high
voltages that may cause serious injury or death. Each Ballast should only be connected or
disconnected by a trained professional.

Each Ballast is part of a “Tuned or Resonant” circuit. If it is a replacement, the circuit in which the
Ballasts operate should be re-tuned to resonance by trained, qualified personnel. This procedure
also requires the proper use of electronic meters which are not part of the machine that this is
installed in.

Also, each Ballast is specially designed for maximum efficiency and longevity, to work in conjunction
with lamps that are properly rated and manufactured to rigid specifications. Use of lamps from other
resources may damage the Ballasts, and/or void the M&R Limited Warranty.

M&R uses the ‘just-in-time’ approach to printing manuals, so the electrical parts and part numbers
shown in this section should be accurate. However, since schematic diagrams are unit-specific, they
remain the most accurate source of electrical part numbers. Cross-reference the part numbers in this
manual with the part numbers in the schematic diagrams in the back of this manual before placing an
order.
