Shellac drying machine selection options

April 14, 2021

When selecting any equipment, we focus on technical specifications so that you can choose the exact device you want.

An overview of certain parameters will allow you to determine the operating principle of any device or compare it with other models.

The Shilak device is no exception, and when choosing one, it is important to pay attention to the following characteristics:

Power - the strength and intensity of the heating elements located in the lamps depends on this parameter. The higher the power of the device, the faster the drying speed of the helium coating.

Before you decide to buy a high-powered device, you should determine what you will use it for. If you are a beginner in this field, it is better to give preference to a mid-range device;

Shape , size and weight

The shape of the shellac dryer must be ergonomic to ensure comfortable work for the master and convenience for the client.

The size of the device can be selected individually: the device can be designed to dry each finger individually or to dry the entire hand.

However, we still recommend choosing more compact sized models, especially for those of you who work from home.

Lightweight and compact models are convenient for transportation and storage. Craftsmen who travel frequently or provide services to clients by visiting their homes are better off purchasing lightweight shellac machines.

Complete set and design

The complete set can be very different. It all ultimately depends on the price of the shellac.

Usually, professional devices have a convenient removable cover, reflectors, a fan, a timer function, and many other settings that will greatly facilitate the work of the master and make the procedure more comfortable for the client.

The design of the models can be very diverse. The choice of colors, patterns, additional decorations is simply huge.

Types of shellac machines

LED lamps - this group of devices has LEDs of a certain light spectrum. The duration of the lamps is much longer than in the UV model. Gel polish also dries much faster in them, the time is from a few seconds to a minute.

LED devices are environmentally friendly: during their operation, no harmful substances are released into the environment, energy is saved, and eyesight remains healthy. Keep in mind that such products are fully recyclable.

LED lamps do not heat up, which means they cannot burn skin or nails.

When the lamps reach the end of their life, LED lamps must be completely replaced, which is somewhat inconvenient, as they have a high cost. At the same time, they operate in a narrow spectrum of radiation. Accordingly, only helium products that are specifically designed for LED devices and have the appropriate marking are used.
