Why River City Supply

Same Dryer. Better Experience.

You can buy this Vastex dryer directly from the factory, or you can buy it from us — for the same price, with an added layer of support from a team that’s been running screen print shops since 2008. Here’s what you get:

💰

Same or Better Pricing Than the Manufacturer

We match or beat Vastex direct pricing on every dryer — no markup for going through a dealer. You get the same equipment with an added layer of service. If you find a lower advertised price, call us and we’ll match it.

🔧

An Extra Layer of Support

Vastex builds great equipment, but when you need to troubleshoot a belt tracking issue at 4pm on a Friday, you want someone who picks up. We’ve been supporting screen printers since 2008 — phone, email, or text — with real operators who’ve run these dryers themselves.

🇺🇸

Authorized Vastex Dealer Since 2008

We’re a factory-authorized Vastex distributor with 17+ years of screen printing industry experience. Full factory warranty applies, but your first point of contact for any issue is us — not a voicemail queue.

📦

Accurate Lead Times & Freight Quotes

Most Vastex dryers are built-to-order and typically take 2–6 weeks to build before shipping. The D100 and D1000 ship UPS Ground from the factory with FREE SHIPPING to the continental U.S. Before you order, chat with us (Tidio chat icon), call (512) 454-0505, or email [email protected] and we’ll confirm an accurate lead time and freight quote for your exact configuration.

🎓

Setup & Training Help Included

We’ll walk you through unboxing, first-power-up, donut probe calibration, and your first real cure over the phone or video call — included with every dryer. No upcharge, no support-ticket queue.

💳

Equipment Financing Made Easy

One call, one application, equipment financed. Section 179 tax advantages may apply. We’ve helped hundreds of shops finance their first (and fifth) Vastex dryer.

Why Choose the D100 Conveyor Dryer

Portable Tabletop Design

At only 4 ft long and 2 ft wide, the D-100 fits on tabletops, utility carts, or low-cost S1-27 stands — ideal for live event printing, pop-ups, trade shows, and small garages.

Powerful Infrared Heater

16″ × 16″ square 1,625W medium-wavelength infrared heater cures plastisol at up to 110 shirts per hour. Heater can be raised, lowered, or angled to fit bulky items or curing hats.

Dual Voltage Options

Choose 120V (standard outlet) or 240V for faster ramp-up. Can be powered by a small generator for mobile and event printing.

15-Year Heater Warranty

Same industry-leading heater warranty as Vastex’s largest floor dryers — backed by Vastex’s Bethlehem, PA factory.

Available With or Without Powered Exhaust

Vastex ships the D100 in two configurations so you only pay for what you need. Here’s how to choose:

OPTION A

Without Powered Exhaust (Standard)

The standard D100 ships without the powered exhaust hood. It’s the right choice for plastisol-only work in a well-ventilated shop or outdoor event setting. Simpler setup, lower cost, and still fully featured — variable heat, variable belt speed, tilting heater, and the full 15-year heater warranty.

Best For:
Plastisol ink onlyWell-ventilated shops or outdoor eventsLow-volume useTightest budget
OPTION B

With Powered Exhaust Hood (Optional)

Adds a top-mounted powered exhaust that pulls fumes and hot air away from the operator — ducting out the top for maximum layout flexibility while significantly reducing noise. Vastex strongly recommends the exhaust hood whenever you’ll be curing DTF adhesives, water-based inks, or discharge, and anytime the dryer runs in a confined space.

Best For:
DTF adhesives (strongly recommended)Water-based & discharge inksConfined spaces or basementsAny shop doing high-volume plastisol
Not sure? The powered exhaust is also available as a retrofit kit — you can start without it and add it later as your shop or ink mix changes. Ask when you call and we’ll match the right exhaust to your model.

How to Assemble Your D100 Dryer

Quick, step-by-step assembly video straight from Vastex. The D100 arrives largely pre-assembled — most customers are up and running in under an hour with just basic hand tools.

Engineering & Built-In Vastex DNA

Medium-Wavelength Infrared

Closely-spaced coils deliver high-density, medium-wavelength infrared heat — the wavelength range best absorbed by screen-printing inks. Raises the ink temperature directly, not the air, for the fastest cure without cold spots or under-curing.

15-Year Heater Warranty

Every Vastex heater carries an industry-leading 15-year warranty — the longest warranty in the industry. Vastex has been designing and building infrared dryers in Bethlehem, PA since 1960.

Digital PID Control ±1°F

Vastex’s PID temperature controller is accurate to ±1°F — repeatable cures shift after shift, day after day. Essential for consistent cure on water-based, discharge, and DTG inks where the temperature window is narrow and under-curing shows up fast.

Teflon-Coated Fiberglass Belt

Industry-standard Teflon-coated fiberglass conveyor belt shrugs off ink drips, solvent splashes, and years of hard use. Replacement belts are in-stock and ship same day.

Do I need ventilation?

The conveyor belt is Teflon-coated fiberglass — the industry standard for durability under heat and chemical exposure. Belts typically last several years in production environments. Replacement belts are stocked and ship same-day.
How do I know my cure is actually reaching temperature?
Every Vastex dryer is factory-calibrated, but we recommend using a donut probe (Atkins Type-K) to verify ink temperature on every new setup and after any adjustments. We stock the donut probe — ask when you call.
Does River City Supply offer installation and training?
Most Vastex dryers are ready-to-run out of the crate with minimal assembly (plug-and-cure on compact models). For larger EconoRed, X-Series multi-chamber, and BigRed 4D units, we provide setup guidance over the phone and can coordinate on-site installation where needed.
Is financing available?
