Vastex Little Red Lo-E Energy Efficient DTG Dryer
The compact size is ideal for use in any shop where limited amperage is a concern. The modular design allows for expandability to easily add chambers and conveyor length as production needs increase. The Lo-E is an ideal machine for a single DTG operating out of a home, or with expansion, larger shops will find it an effective production dryer.
At 3 minutes dwell time it cures up to 45 garments/hr* DTG printed with digital white ink. At only 1.5 minutes dwell time it cures up to 88 CMYK DTG garments/hr*, 88 pretreat-only garments/hr**, or 88 garments/hr* screen printed with water-based ink or discharge.
Drawing 22 amps at 230 volts, the dryer’s two 24 in. (61 cm) wide by 18 in. (46 cm) deep high-efficiency infrared heaters provide 4,600 watts (4.6 kW) of power, maximizing curing capacity and in turn, minimizing energy costs per garment cured. Height-adjustable, the heaters offer dual zone temperature control.
A 370 CFM (10.5 m3/min.) exhaust system evacuates moisture and air contaminates from the heating chamber, and cools the enclosure’s outer skin and control panel.
The 30 in. (76 cm) wide by 88 in. (224 cm) long conveyor runs true by means of a low friction belt aligner patented by the company, with belt speed controls allowing infinitely adjustable dwell times from 1 minute to five minutes.
Features:
