Calculating Your Production Needs:
1.Determine inside oven length (dimensions page 11).
2.Determine number of items oven will hold,
i.e. 18”/item on 10’ belt = 6 items/cycle.
3.Determine cycles per hour. This depends on cure times of the ink.
(See cure time examples) Divide cure time into 60 minutes to get
cycles per hour.
CURE TIME EXAMPLES:
Plastisol Inks -90 seconds (40 cycles/hr)
Water-Base Dyes -2 minutes (30 cycles/hr)
Nylon Inks - 60 seconds (60 cycles/hr)
4.Multiply number of items the oven can hold (Step 2) by the number
of cycles per hour (Step 3). Divide by 12 to obtain dozens per hour.
EXAMPLE: 24” wide 10’ oven chamber curing plastisol ink
STEP 1 - 10’ oven = 120”
STEP 2 - 120” ÷ 18” print = 6 items per cycle
STEP 3 - 60 minutes ÷ 90 seconds (plastisol cure time) = 40
cycles per hour
STEP 4 - 6 shirts X 40 cycles per hour = 240 items per hour.
240 ÷ 12 = 20 dozen units per hour
NOTE: Pretest all cure times.

Since 1963, HIX has been the leader in curing water based screen printing inks on garments with our electric dryers.
Our expertise with this process has put HIX years ahead of the competition, and made us the only real choice when it
comes too effectively curing water based inks in an electric drying system. HIX electric dryers combine the right mix of
infra red energy and forced hot convection air to evaporate water and cure ink from water based screenprint and ink jet
inks. Cure direct to garment inks with our heat press, Verticure drawer or conveyor ovens.
HIX is proud to introduce its Verticure ovens.
