Vastex AirFlash Dryer for Screen Printing – Cures Water-Based, Plastisol, and Discharge Inks – FREE SHIPPING
Introducing the Vastex AirFlash™ Flash Cure Unit, the ultimate flash dryer for high-performance screen printing on both delicate and standard garments. Engineered with Vastex’s signature infrared heat technology and enhanced by forced air capabilities, the AirFlash™ ensures consistent, even curing without the risk of scorching sensitive fabrics.
Ideal for decorators printing on materials like nylon, Spandex, polyester, and Dazzle cloth, the AirFlash™ uses a powerful 140 CFM blower to deliver filtered, heated air evenly across the curing surface. This combination of heat and airflow prevents fabric shrinkage and melting while ensuring proper ink fusion.
For traditional applications, you can redirect the airflow to cool the outer shell, allowing efficient flash curing of conventional fabrics like cotton or blends. With digitally adjustable heat, user-friendly controls, and built-in diagnostic indicator lights, the AirFlash™ provides precise, repeatable results that keep your workflow efficient and error-free.
