Little Red X1D Mid-Level Infrared Dryer
Little Red X1D Mid-Level Infrared Dryer - 18 Inch Belt / 240V / 1 Phase
SKU:
Smallest Conveyor Dryer available for DTG printing
Available in three widths, the X1D is the smallest conveyor dryer matched to the output of the most popular DTG printing systems. Its heating chamber has a boost zone to quickly reach cure temperatures for ink jet, water-based inks and discharge, and/or DTF adhesives. The modular design allows for expandability to easily add chambers and conveyor length as production needs increase.
Conveyor dryers eliminate the flattened, ironed-on appearance and halo associated with heat pressing of printed images, and relegates the heat press to flattening of raised fibers prior to printing with a one second 'touch' per garment.
As standard it is equipped with features found on the company's larger DTG capable dryers including adjustable belt-to-heater clearance to accommodate bulky items, a dual digital PID temperature controller accurate to +/- 1°F, and an X-Series conveyor belt roller tracking system with Teflon coated fiberglass belt.
The powered exhaust system removes moisture and air contaminants at a rate of 280 CFM (7.9 CMM), while cooling the housing and controls.
All Little Red series dryers have a tilting heater design. Works great for curing hats.

Modular Expandability Allows Your Dryer to Grow With You
The capacity (belt speed) of all Vastex floor standing conveyor dryers can be doubled or tripled as new or when needs increase by simply adding one or two modular heating chambers and extending the conveyor belt. This eliminates the need to invest in a larger dryer than you need at the onset, and avoids the high cost of purchasing a new dryer when your needs increase.
