Little Red X3D Mid-Level Infrared Dryer
Little Red X3D Mid-Level Infrared Dryer - 30 Inch Belt / 240V / 1 Phase
SKU:
For curing of Plastisol, Water-Based, Discharge, DTG Digital White Ink and/or DTF adhesives at high rates
The multi-purpose LittleRed® X3-D infrared dryer cures direct-to-garment (DTG) printed textiles as well as plastisol, water-based and discharge-printed garments, and/or adhesive-coated DTF images, at higher rates than possible with conventional dryer designs. The modular design allows for expandability to easily add chambers and conveyor length as production needs increase.
Available in 30, 54 and 78 in. (76, 137, and 198 cm) belt widths, it features a high-powered pre-heating zone that rockets ink temperatures past 300°F (149°C) within the first several inches of conveyor travel, maximizing the distance and dwell time for optimum curing of any ink or adhesive, allowing increased conveyor belt speeds and dryer output.
The X3-D-30 and X3-D-54 models have an overall conveyor belt length of 88 in. (224 cm) long while the X3-D-78 model has an overall length of 102 in. (260 cm). The heating chamber for all three models is 41 in. (104 cm) long and features a powerful, targeted exhaust system as standard to rapidly remove moisture and air contaminates from the heating chamber, as well as cool the skin and controls.
With a second X3 chamber, the LR-X3D-30-2 and LR-X3D-54-2 can handle higher production including longer times necessary.

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.
