Drying for Screen Stencil Preparation
SANKEN SKP-D and SKP-DV drying machines use heated air circulation to dry screen printing frames during screen preparation. Choose horizontal drawer loading for screens after emulsion coating, or vertical loading for screens after cleaning and developing.
Eight models provide maximum screen sizes from 1100 × 1700 mm to 2500 × 4800 mm. Horizontal models have five layers; vertical models have ten layers.
Equipment Views
Horizontal Screen Drying – SKP-D
The SKP-D series holds screens horizontally in drawers and is mainly used after coating the mesh with photosensitive emulsion.
Five-Layer Drawer Loading
Horizontal drawers provide access for placing and removing screen frames. Screens are positioned with the printing surface facing upward.
Automatic Temperature Control
Temperature-control components regulate the drying temperature during operation.
Circulating Hot Air
Stainless steel heaters supply heat, and a centrifugal fan circulates air through the drying chamber.
Track-Guided Drawers
Track-type bearing movement supports drawer operation, while the drawer enclosure helps retain heated air.

Vertical Screen Drying – SKP-DV
The SKP-DV series loads screens vertically and is mainly used for drying after screen cleaning and developing.
Ten-Layer Vertical Loading
The vertical arrangement provides ten loading layers for the selected frame size and organizes screens within the cabinet.
Stainless Steel Interior
The inner chamber uses stainless steel plate with stainless steel heaters.
Upper Heating and Air Circulation
An upper heating arrangement and internal hot-air circulation distribute heat through the cabinet.
Insulated Chamber
The insulated enclosure helps retain heat during the drying cycle.

Working Sequence
Select the loading arrangement around the screen preparation stage. Match the drying conditions to the emulsion, cleaning or developing process used in your workshop.
Applications in Glass Screen Printing
Use the drying machine in the screen-making area for glass printing. Horizontal drying supports coated screen preparation before exposure; vertical drying supports screens after cleaning and developing.
These machines dry screen frames and stencils. Printed glass drying takes place in separate equipment such as an IR tunnel dryer.
Model Selection and Workshop Planning
Send the outside dimensions of your screen frames, the preparation stage, the number of screens per batch and the coating or cleaning materials used. Choose the loading format and screen size together.
Allow access for drawer extension or cabinet loading, frame handling, cleaning and maintenance. Check the selected machine dimensions and power against your available workshop space and electrical supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between D and DV models?
D models use five-layer horizontal drawers, mainly for screens after emulsion coating. DV models use ten-layer vertical loading, mainly for screens after cleaning and developing.
Which model sizes are available?
Both arrangements are available in 0812, 1525, 2030 and 2040 sizes, covering maximum screens from 1100 × 1700 to 2500 × 4800 mm.
What are the drying time and temperature?
The drying cycle is 15–20 minutes, with a processing temperature of approximately 55 °C. Select the operating conditions around your screen preparation materials.
Can I use this machine to dry printed glass?
This equipment is for screen frames and stencil preparation. Select a separate glass dryer for printed panels.
How are coated screens loaded in the horizontal model?
Place the frames horizontally in the drawers with the printing surface facing upward.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Send the frame size range, preferred horizontal or vertical arrangement, batch requirements, preparation process and available power supply.
