Conveyor dryer for water-based and discharge ink (EconoRed ER-VI-30)

Water-based and discharge inks need roughly three times the dwell of plastisol to drive off water. The ER-VI-30 puts six heaters over a 30 in. belt so it can still cure up to 300 water-based or discharge shirts per hour (Vastex rating), with an adjustable exhaust to remove moisture.

Conveyor dryer for water-based and discharge ink (EconoRed ER-VI-30) questions

Why does water-based ink need a bigger dryer?
The water must evaporate before the ink cures, so it needs more heat and longer time in the chamber than plastisol.

Will this dryer also cure plastisol and DTF?
Yes - Vastex rates EconoRed dryers for plastisol, water-based, discharge and DTF adhesives.

How do I know water-based is fully cured?
Use a temperature probe through the ink and a wash test; adjust belt speed until prints pass.
