“It has radically changed how quickly I get things
done,” he says. The LED light pack reduces electric
consumption and can last over 50,000 hours, significantly
reducing operating and maintenance costs.
Adjustable conveyor dryer delivers repeatable results
Newcomer also leased a DB-30 infrared conveyor
dryer, which can cure 130 shirts per hour. “I like that
I can adjust the heat panel up for sweatshirts or
down for T-shirts,” he says. “The heat is also adjustable
and super-consistent, so every shirt comes out
at the same temperature as the one before.” The
ability to add heating chambers and extend the
belt was also important to Newcomer. “I haven’t
expanded it yet, but as my business grows that’s
what I will be doing.” With his new equipment,
Newcomer has more time to devote to marketing
his business. “Before, I felt like I was on a leash,”
he says. “Now I no longer have to worry about a
24- or 48-hour prep time for my screens, because
I can get it done in an hour. The new equipment
has given me the freedom to get out and bring in
more business and service our customers, which is
crucial.” Soon after receiving his new equipment,
Newcomer was able to accept a job with a tight
deadline that he would not have been able to
meet previously. “On a Friday, the customer said he
needed 60 sweatshirts and 100 T-shirts by Monday.
I knew I could say yes to this job because of my
new equipment. With my old setup I would have
said no. And beyond forfeiting the sale, I may have
lost the customer to a competitor who said yes.”
