BETHLEHEM, PA — A new rear-mounted exhaust hood for Vastex D-100 infrared conveyor dryers exhausts fumes emitted from curing of DTF adhesives and collects glycol residue, it was announced by Mark Vasilantone, president.

"The rear exhaust removes harmful DTF fumes from the shop environment while collecting glycol condensate, protecting the operating staff as well as the dryer's heating elements, making it a 'must have' for safety-conscious DTF printers," he explains.

Independently-powered, the exhaust hood snaps onto the rear of any D-100 dryer, and is offered as an option on new units, or separately to retrofit existing units.

Variable controls for both heat intensity and conveyor speed allow fine-tuning of the curing process and rate at which items are being coated with DTF adhesives.

The dryer is equipped with an 18 x 46 in. (45.7 x 117 cm) conveyor belt and a 16 in. (40.6 cm) square, 1,625 watt infrared heater which carries a 15-year warranty.

Available in 120V or 240V versions, the dryer can be placed on a tabletop or utility cart, and can be paired with a Vastex PTF-100 powder applicator to both coat and cure DTF-printed films.

The dryer is also suitable for curing up to 110 plastisol-printed garments/h, or 50 garments/h screen printed with water-based ink or discharge.
