You can make one for a lot less.  Get about 3 feet of dryer vent hose.  
Get a hair dryer.  Rig some way to hold the hair dryer over one end of 
the tube, get a piece of wire and shove through the bottom end of the 
hose, first stick the film, still on reels into the tube, insert the 
wire so that it holds the reels, turn the dryer on low and you will have 
dry film in a few short minutes.

Works just like a Senrac film dryer.

If you want a more permanent solution use the 4 inch PVC pipe instead.
