Description

Key Features of the Vastex LittleRed X3D Dryer:

  • Multi-Ink Compatibility – Cures DTG, DTF, plastisol, discharge, and water-based inks
  • Pre-Heat Zone – Raises ink temp past 300°F quickly to improve cure consistency
  • Expandable – Add extra heating chambers or belt extensions as production increases
  • Advanced PID Controls – Digital dual-zone control accurate to ±1°F
  • High-Density IR Heaters – Closely spaced coils deliver even, high-speed curing
  • Targeted Exhaust System – Quickly removes moisture and fumes from the chamber
  • Heavy-Duty Construction – “X-Series” belt tracking with Teflon-coated fiberglass belt and HD belt motor
  • Adjustable Heater Height – Belt-to-heater clearance adjustable from 2–7 in (5–18 cm) per side
  • 15-Year Heater Warranty – Vastex backs its durable heating technology with confidence
  • Cool Exterior – Built-in air intake fans cool outer shell for safe operation
  • Quiet Operation – Reduced noise for a better production environment

Built for Speed, Accuracy & Ink Versatility

At the heart of the X3D is a high-powered pre-heating zone that drives ink temperatures over 300°F (149°C) within the first few inches of travel—maximizing dwell time and allowing for faster belt speeds and higher throughput. The result? Flawless curing at scale, regardless of the ink or print method.

All models include Vastex’s advanced digital PID temperature controls with ±1°F accuracy, powerful exhaust systems, and a heavy-duty “X-Series” belt tracking system. Combined with high-density, medium-wavelength infrared heat, the X3D is built to perform in even the most demanding production environments.
