Sahara II Drying System

The Sahara II is a natural evolution of ASI drying superiority. Incorporating new and patented technology, it provides higher drying capacity and increased web control. From doors to ductwork, the Sahara II is designed for maximum production and minimum maintenance.

The combination of ASI’s Soft-Dri III air bars and patented air-envelope return-air system eliminates web shift while delivering higher and more uniform heat transfer.

Cost-effective performance and state-of-the-art technology, the Sahara II is simply the best in the industry.
