(54)	Tunnel and support for a printing and/or coupling machine

(57) A drying tunnel for printing and/or coupling machines comprises a lower structure (1) and a movable upper cover (2), said lower part (1) comprising a series of mechanisms and devices for moving webs (3) of paper and/or film and equipped with rollers (6) and characterised by the fact that said upper cover (2) can be vertically lifted and horizontally moved using special lifting mechanisms such as jacks (20,22) for example.
The machine also has a cradle support (104) to minimise revolving friction of the rollers (6).
