A processing machine includes a dryer device. In particular, the processing machine is a printable material- or sheet-processing or a substrate-processing machine, in particular a printing machine. A method for operating a drying device in such a processing machine is also provided. The processing machine addresses the problem of creating an alternative processing machine comprising a drying device or an alternative method for operating a drying device in a processing machine. In particular, the cooling in preferably high-performs dryers in processing machines, such as substrate, or printable material-processing machines, should be improved. Especially preferably the cooling of the underside of the underside of a UV emitter should also be further improved. The problem is solved by pairing a blast air system with the drying device, by the use of which blast air system, the ambient air flowing into the air inlet opening can be or is actively influenced at a distance from the radiation source.
