ROQ ROQDry Evolution Quartz Flash Dryer With Smart Probe
ROQ
The ROQ Dry Evolution Quartz Flash Dryer is ROQ’s flagship automatic flash — and its Smart Probe is what sets it apart. The probe continuously reads each garment’s surface temperature and dynamically adjusts the flash time, so prints never scorch or undercure even as pallets warm up over a long run. It integrates directly with ROQ automatic presses (no proximity sensors), uses fast medium-wavelength quartz lamps with dual radiant & convection heat, adds a 90° rotating, extendable head and selectable heat zones, and is air-cooled for water-based inks. Six models from 18″×22″ to 35″×43″.

Description
ROQ Dry Evolution — Smart-Probe Flash That Cures by Temperature, Not Guesswork
On a long automatic run, pallets get hotter — and a fixed flash time slowly turns from “just right” into scorched. The ROQ Dry Evolution solves that with a Smart Probe that reads each garment’s surface temperature and adjusts the flash in real time. You get consistent, scorch-free cures from the first shirt to the last, at full production speed, with the flash talking directly to your ROQ press.
Why Printers Choose the Dry Evolution
Smart Probe Closed-Loop Curing
The probe continuously reads the print’s surface temperature and reports to the press motherboard, which dynamically adjusts flash time — preventing scorching and undercuring and speeding up as pallets warm through the run.
Automatic ROQ Integration
Press-commanded on/off wired straight into your ROQ automatic press — no add-on proximity sensors to mount or fail, perfectly timed to the index.
Fast Medium-Wave Quartz Lamps
Medium-wavelength quartz lamps reach temperature almost instantly for rapid flashing and even coverage across the whole area.
Dual Heat Transfer
Convection and radiant heat combine for superior ink penetration — gels plastisol and drives moisture from water-based inks.
Rotating & Extendable Head
A 90° rotating, extendable head configures for portrait or landscape prints and positions exactly where you need it on the press.
Zones + Multi-Unit Sequencing
Selectable heat zones flash only the print area, while software-controlled sequencing staggers multiple units to prevent electrical surges.
How the Smart Probe Works
Mount the Evolution in a flash position on your ROQ press and connect it to the machine. As each pallet indexes underneath, the Smart Probe reads the garment’s surface temperature and communicates it to the press motherboard, which sets the ideal flash time for that piece. Early in a run the flash is longer; as pallets heat up it automatically shortens — so every print gets exactly the heat it needs and no more. Selectable zones flash only where the ink is, and the rotating/extendable head lines up with any print orientation.
ROQ Dry Evolution Model Lineup
Six models cover mid-size prints up to oversized all-over graphics. Match the drying area to your ROQ pallet and print size:
| Model | Drying area | (mm) | Power | Quartz lamps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ROQ Dry Evolution 12100 L | 18″ × 22″ | 457 × 559 mm | 12.1 kVA | 11 × 1100 W |
| ROQ Dry Evolution 14400 XL | 20″ × 28″ | 508 × 711 mm | 14.4 kVA | 12 × 1200 W |
| ROQ Dry Evolution 18000 XL+ | 24″ × 31″ | 610 × 787 mm | 18 kVA | 15 × 1200 W |
| ROQ Dry Evolution 20400 2XL | 28″ × 39″ | 711 × 991 mm | 20.4 kVA | 24 × 850 W |
| ROQ Dry Evolution 25500 3XL | 31″ × 43″ | 787 × 1092 mm | 25.5 kVA | 30 × 850 W |
| ROQ Dry Evolution 25500 4XL | 35″ × 43″ | 889 × 1092 mm | 25.5 kVA | 30 × 850 W |
Models run on 1×230V, 3×230V or 3×400V (larger models 3-phase). Match the drying area to your ROQ pallet/print size.
Which model do I need?
Match the drying area to your largest print. The 12100 L (18″×22″) and 14400 XL (20″×28″) suit standard tee and jersey work; the 18000 XL+ and 20400 2XL cover larger prints; the 25500 3XL and 4XL handle oversized and all-over graphics. We’ll confirm the right fit for your press.
Evolution vs. ECO
Both are automatic quartz flashes that integrate with ROQ presses. The Evolution adds the Smart Probe (closed-loop temperature control) and a rotating/extendable head. Want the automatic quartz flash without the probe at a better value? See the ROQ ROQdry ECO.
