Vastex releases new rear-mounted exhaust hood

A new rear-mounted exhaust hood for Vastex D-100 infrared conveyor dryers exhausts fumes emitted from curing of DTF adhesives and collects glycol residue.

Mark Vasilantone, president, said: “The rear exhaust removes harmful DTF fumes from the shop environment while collecting glycol condensate, protecting the operating staff as well as the dryer’s heating elements, making it a ‘must have’ for safety-conscious DTF printers.”

Independently powered, the exhaust hood snaps onto the rear of any D-100 dryer, and is offered as an option on new units, or separately to retrofit existing units.

Variable controls for both heat intensity and conveyor speed allow fine-tuning of the curing process and rate at which items are being coated with DTF adhesives.

The dryer is equipped with a 45.7x117cm conveyor belt and a 40. cm square, 1,625-watt infrared heater which carries a 15-year warranty.

Available in 120V or 240V versions, the dryer can be placed on a tabletop or utility cart and can be paired with a Vastex PTF-100 powder applicator to both coat and cure DTF-printed films.

The dryer is also suitable for curing up to 110 plastisol-printed garments/h, or 50 garments/h screen printed with water-based ink or discharge.
