Description
About the Walco 4224SBX
The Walco 4224SBX is the new upgraded high-speed 4224 SB Series print-and-dry split base, with a 42-inch print section and a 24-inch dry section running at up to 600 feet per minute and up to 70,000 pieces per hour on 11×6 cards. It adds a larger blower and through-the-belt vacuum on the dryer section for stronger hold-down at speed. It also carries the SBX upgraded I/O controls and interlocks for tighter integration and process control at speed.
The upgraded vacuum and blower keep pieces locked to the belt through the dryer at high throughput, while the split-base layout lets a Walco inkjet printing system mount over the print section. This model requires a 208/220VAC 1-phase supply and forms the transport base for a high-volume inline print-and-dry production line.
