High Volume Conveyor Dryer Exhausts Toxic Fumes
A new three-chamber, 46,800 watt ERVP-VI-24 conveyor dryer from Vastex International cures up to 900 DTF-printed images/hr, up to 900 images/hr screen printed with water-based ink or discharge, and up to 2,700 images/hr screen-printed with plastisol ink, while exhausting off-gases from the shop environment, it was announced by Mark Vasilantone, president.
Filtered makeup air is drawn through the top-center of each heating chamber, and through its double-wall top and sides, serving to cool the outer skin and chamber edges for operator safety."
