Air Dryer Requirements Table 4-12 Air Dryer Requirements Requirement Value Operating pressure 7-8 bar (101.5-117.6 psi) Flow rate Minimum of 1200 liters/min. (43 CFM) Dew point 2°C (35.6°F) Environmental Requirements Lighting Whenever the FB10000 press is in operation, the print production area should be well illuminated to provide the operator with optimal conditions for checking print production (color, alignment, etc.). Follow the guidelines described below to avoid ink curing when the printing bridge is raised to its vertical position: • Customer sites that are illuminated with bulbs containing mercury (for example, fluorescent and metal halide bulbs; fluorescent is recommended) should use appropriate filtering to prevent radiation peaks below 400 nm. Filtering typically consists of plastic covers over the lamp housing. • Avoid exposing the printing bridge to direct sunlight. Any windows in the vicinity of the FB10000 press should be filtered sufficiently to block 99.97% of the UV light that passes through them. Note If alterations need to be made to the customer site to conform with these guidelines, the customer in the meantime must wipe the print heads and perform light maintenance each hour while the bridge is raised.
