Vastex LittleRed X2D Wide Conveyor Dryer – High-Output Curing for DTG, Plastisol, Water-Based & DTF

Vastex

The Vastex LittleRed X2D combines the dual-heater curing power of the X2 with radical heat-mapping technology that speeds the cure of inkjet, water-based, discharge, DTG digital, plastisol, and DTF adhesives.

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. Larger Vastex dryers ship via LTL freight and freight is quoted separately based on your delivery ZIP and any special requirements (lift-gate, residential, etc.). 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 LittleRed X2D Conveyor Dryer

Radical Heat-Mapping Technology

Advanced heat mapping speeds curing of inkjet, water-based, discharge, DTG digital, plastisol, and DTF adhesives — delivering unbeatable value for small-to-mid shops.

300°F+ in the First Inches

High-powered preheat zone surges ink temperature past 300°F within the first few inches of conveyor travel inside the 27″ heating chamber.

Dual-Zone Heat Control

Two closely-spaced height-adjustable infrared heaters with dual-zone controls maintain consistent temperatures needed for DTG digital white and other demanding inks.

Expandable & Future-Proof

Start here, add a third chamber and belt extensions as needs grow — the same modular platform used across the entire LittleRed line.

What’s Included

Teflon-coated fiberglass X-Series belt
2 × infrared heaters with preheat zone
Dual digital PID temperature controller ±1°F
DC belt speed display
Adjustable 2″–7″ belt-to-heater clearance
Floor-standing frame
15-year heater warranty

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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What can the LittleRed X2D Conveyor Dryer cure?
The LittleRed X2D Conveyor Dryer cures plastisol inks at 300+ garments/hr and water-based, discharge, and DTF adhesives at 150+ garments/hr. It’s also DTG-capable — see the specs tab for rates.
What voltage does it require?
This dryer runs on 240V. 240V models require a dedicated circuit — call us with your shop’s electrical specs before ordering and we’ll confirm compatibility.
What is the heater warranty?
All Vastex dryers carry an industry-leading 15-year heater warranty — the longest in the screen printing industry. Vastex has been building infrared dryers in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania since 1960.
Is the LittleRed expandable?
Yes – add chambers / extend belt. For floor-standing Vastex dryers, modular expansion is built in — you can add additional heating chambers and extend belt length later as your production grows, rather than replacing the dryer.
Do I need ventilation?
Yes. All infrared dryers benefit from proper venting, and curing water-based, discharge, DTG, and DTF require it. Vastex offers matched exhaust hoods (EXH-18/24/30/54) and most models have powered exhaust options. We can spec ducting and make-up air for your shop when you call.
What’s the belt made of and how long will it last?
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?
Yes — equipment financing is available on all Vastex dryers through our financing partner. Section 179 tax advantages may apply for qualifying businesses. Click here to apply for financing, or call (512) 454-0505 and we’ll walk you through it.
How fast does it ship, and is shipping free?
Vastex dryers are built-to-order. Most dryers take an average of 2–6 weeks to build before shipping, depending on the model, configuration, and current factory backlog. The Vastex LittleRed X2D Conveyor Dryer is too large to ship UPS Ground, so it ships LTL freight — freight is quoted separately based on your delivery ZIP, whether you need a lift-gate, and whether it’s a residential or commercial address. For the most accurate lead time and (if applicable) freight quote for your exact build, chat with us using the Tidio chat icon on this page, email [email protected], or call (512) 454-0505 before you order.
