The high-production EconoRed VP series of dryers employs advanced air mapping to reduce exposure to fumes and to collect glycol condensate, protecting the operating staff as well as the dryer's heating elements when curing DTF adhesives.

During the curing process, the adhesives off-gas large volumes of glycol. To mitigate the fumes, these dryers draw filtered makeup air through the top-center of the heating chamber, and through its double-wall top and sides, serving to cool the outer skin and chamber edges for operator safety.

Preheated make-up air flows into the heat chamber, replacing the exhausted air being drawn out along each side of the belt, while preventing an inrush of air from the infeed and exit of the dryer that would otherwise disturb lighter materials. The volume of air entering the chamber is also adjustable, allowing the operator to fine-tune the air flow.

A washable mist separator removes glycol from the contaminated vapor, collecting its condensate in a removable receptacle. An optional Make-Up Air Heater is available to decrease the chance of make-up air cooling the product.

Air is drawn through the dryer by an exhaust fan located at the downstream end of the system to minimize exposure to heat and vapor contamination. A collar at the fan's outlet allows connection of the user's exhaust ductwork to the shop's exterior.

Two models are offered, both with 24 in. (61 cm) wide, variable speed conveyor belts. Model ERVP-III-24, at 107 in. (272 cm) long comes as standard with 10,800 watts of power and cures 150+ DTF films or garments printed with water-based inks, and 450+ garments screen printed with plastisols.

Model ERVP-VI-24, at 161 in. (409 cm) long is equipped with 15,600 watts of power and a double-length heating chamber allowing double the belt speed (capacity). It can cure 300+ DTF films or garments printed with water-based inks and 900+ garments per hour screen printed with plastisol ink.

Modular expandability allows your dryer to grow with you

Modular expandability allows your dryer to grow with you

The capacity (belt speed) of all Vastex floor standing conveyor dryers can be doubled or tripled as new or when needs increase by simply adding one or two modular heating chambers and extending the conveyor belt. This eliminates the need to invest in a larger dryer than you need at the onset, and avoids the high cost of purchasing a new dryer when your needs increase.

THE IMPORTANCE OF USING A DONUT PROBE

The Importance of Using a Donut Probe

See it in action!

Testing Ink Temperatures

With the thermometer on and probe plugged in, place the "ring" over an inked part of a garment (or scrap piece of material) with the cross-hairs wires down. Be sure the wires are actually touching the ink. Allow the garment and probe to be fed into the dryer along the conveyor belt. The temperature displayed by the thermometer reflects the rise in temperature of the ink as it moves through the dryer. When the temperature begins to quickly decline, the probe should now have exited the dryer. Unplug the probe and allow only the lead wire to follow the probe through the dryer. DO NOT ALLOW THE THERMOMETER TO GO THROUGH THE DRYER and DO NOT PULL RING BACK as this could damage the delicate cross-hair wires.

 
 

SCREEN PRINT DONUT PROBE

The "Donut" Screen Printing Probe is specially designed to meet the needs of today's Screen Printers.

Screen Print Donut Probe

  • Constructed of temperature-resistant Teflon®, it may be used hundreds of times with-out degradation of material or accuracy of measurement.
  • The wires are designed to make DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE INK. Many other temperature measuring devices are capable of reading only the temperature of the air around the screen printed item. The rise and fall of the ink temperature may be significantly different than that of the garment or the surrounding air.
  • Type K thermocouple surface probe for monitoring the temperature of ink or screen printing dryers
  • Measures temperature from -40° to +400°F (-40° to +205°C)
  • PTFE ring 3 in. (7.6 cm) in diameter supports the sensor wires
  • Response time of 1 second in liquid for fast readings
  • Warranty - 1 year
  • Silicone-jacketed cable 15 ft (457 cm) in length withstands temperatures up to 400°F (205°C)
 
 

TEMPERATURE LASER GUN

 

Temperature Laser Gun

Measures temperature of ink and/or substate.

  • Measures temperatures from 0F to 716°F (-18°C to 380°C) with typical accuracy of +/- 2%
  • Fixed emissivity: 0.95

Please note that a temperature gun "only" measures the surface temperature. For the most accurate results, a donut probe is highly recommended.
