Vastex F-100 — The Best Value in Entry-Level Flash Curing

Every shop needs a reliable flash. The F-100 gives you Vastex’s even, high-density infrared heat in a compact 16″×16″ head at an entry-level price — ideal for flashing plastisol between colors, curing one-color prints, or adding a second flash station. Heavy-duty steel, built-in heat shields, and a head leveler mean consistent results print after print.

Why Printers Choose It

Even, Hot-Spot-Free Heat

A high-wattage, close-coil-density 1,625W element spreads heat evenly across the full 16″×16″ face — no cold zones or scorched centers.

Built-In Heat Shields

Integrated heat shields let you set the flash closer to the garment for faster, more efficient flashing.

Level, Repeatable Setup

A head leveler keeps the heater parallel to the pallet so every flash is consistent.

Move It Anywhere

Heavy-duty side handles and wheels make it easy to reposition around the shop.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Vastex F-100 16″×16″ Flash Dryer — Frequently Asked Questions

What can the F-100 do?

It flashes plastisol between colors and cures one-color prints on a 16″×16″ area — a great starter flash or a second unit for a busy press.

120V or 240V — which should I choose?

120V plugs into a standard outlet and warms up in ~15 min; 240V warms up faster (~10 min). Pick based on the outlets in your shop; the correct plug is included.

How is it different from the F-1000?

The F-1000 is bigger (18″×18″), adds adjustable heat control with power lights, and carries a 5-year heater warranty. The F-100 is smaller, simpler (on/off) and lower cost. See the comparison chart.

Can I automate it?

Yes — add the AutoFlash upgrade to rotate the head over the pallet hands-free via foot pedal.

Does it include a stand?

It includes wheels and handles for mobility. A Super Heavy Duty Stand and Rotary Table are available as upgrades.
