• Efficient Cooling Bed: Features a cooling bed at the exit, rapidly cooling and hardening hot ink on printed items, making them easy to handle, fold, or package.
• Versatile Air Bar Option: The conveyor air bar option speeds up the cooling of screen-printed garments and other items, improving overall productivity and ink adhesion.
• Easy Maintenance: The dryer’s design allows for easy cleaning and maintenance of filters and other components, safeguarding printed images, equipment, and the work environment.

The Vastex Big Red 4D Conveyor Dryer combines high-performance features, versatility, and expandability to deliver superior curing results, making it an essential asset for screen printing operations with demanding production requirements.

The Vastex Big Red 4D Conveyor Dryer offers several optional features and accessories to further enhance its functionality and customization. These options include:

1. Additional Heating Chambers: You can add extra heating chambers to the dryer, each measuring 54 inches (137 cm) in length. This allows for increased curing capacity and flexibility to meet growing production demands.
2. Belt Extensions: Choose from front or rear belt extensions, each measuring 18 inches (46 cm) in length. Belt extensions help to increase the overall conveyor length, accommodating larger garments or improving the drying process for specific applications.
3. Side Heaters: Side-mounted heaters are available as an option and come standard on deluxe models. These heaters can be adjusted and controlled from the main panel, increasing the “cure zone” and accommodating specific printing requirements.
4. Control Box Placement: The control box is typically located on the right side of the dryer as the standard configuration. However, you have the option to request the control box on the left side to suit your shop layout and preference.
5. Voltage Options: The Big Red 4D Conveyor Dryer is available in three-phase and various voltage options, including 208V, 380V, and 480V, providing flexibility to match your specific electrical requirements.
6. Exhaust Hood: For enhanced fume extraction, you can opt for an exhaust hood. This feature is particularly useful when using DTF adhesives on D1-Series and LR-X1 models.
7. Hat Support Rail: The addition of a hat support rail allows for easy and efficient curing of hats and other headwear items, expanding the versatility of the conveyor dryer.
8. Locking Casters: Mobility is made more convenient with the inclusion of locking casters, enabling you to move and secure the dryer as needed in your workspace.
9. Heavy-Duty Motor Drive: Opt for the heavy-duty motor drive for the conveyor belt, ensuring reliable and consistent movement during the curing process, even with heavier loads.
10. Donut Probe: The donut probe is an accessory that aids in measuring the internal temperature of garments during the curing process, ensuring precise and accurate curing for various ink types.
11. Additional Heater Clearance: You have the option to request additional clearance for the heaters, providing more space for thicker or bulkier garments, such as jackets or hoodies.

These optional features and accessories make the Vastex Big Red 4D Conveyor Dryer a highly customizable and versatile solution for various screen printing operations, accommodating specific production needs and improving overall efficiency.
