Vastex Conveyor Dryers: LittleRed, EconoRed and BigRed
Vastex infrared conveyor dryers cure plastisol, water-based and discharge inks and DTF adhesives. Every model uses closely spaced medium-wave heaters (5-year heater warranty), a digital PID controller accurate to +/-1°F and the X-Series belt tracking system, and each line expands later with add-on heat chambers and belt extensions.
