Vastex
Lo-E Energy Efficient Infrared Dryer
Lo-E Energy Efficient Infrared Dryer - Lo-E1D (30 Inch Belt) / 240V / 1 Phase
SKU:
Fast curing of DTG printed with white ink, DTG printed CMYK and DTG pretreatment, as well as screen printed water-base and discharge — at a low 4.6KW of power!
The Lo-E Dryer cures DTG printed inks and pretreatment, and water-based screen printed inks and discharge, at high rates using 20% less energy than comparable dryers. The compact size is ideal for use in any shop where limited amperage is a concern. Modularity of Vastex floor-standing dryers permits you to easily add one or multiple heating chambers and extend the conveyor belt, allowing a significant increase in curing capacity.
This exclusive Vastex advantage enables you to increase capacity as your business grows, limited only by your available floor space and power supply. All Vastex dryers except the smallest D-100 and D-1000 can be expanded. Conveyor extensions can also be added to the front or back of your dryer to optimize loading and cooling/unloading of garments.
The Lo-E is a great machine for a single DTG operating out of a home or, with expansion, larger shops will find it an effective production dryer.
At 3 minutes dwell time it cures up to 45 garments/hr* DTG printed with digital white ink. At only 1.5 minutes dwell time it cures up to 88 CMYK DTG garments/hr*, 88 pretreat-only garments/hr**, or 88 garments/hr** screen printed with water-based ink or discharge.
Drawing 22 amps at 240 volts, the dryer's two 24 in. (61 cm) wide by 18 in. (46 cm) deep high-efficiency infrared heaters provide 4,600 watts (4.6 kW) of power, maximizing curing capacity and in turn, minimizing energy costs per garment cured. Height-adjustable, the heaters offer dual zone temperature control and carry an industry-leading 15-year warranty.
A 370 CFM (10.5 m3/min.) exhaust system evacuates moisture and air contaminates from the heating chamber, and cools the enclosure's outer skin and control panel.
The 30 in. (76 cm) wide by 88 in. (224 cm) long conveyor runs true by means of a low friction belt aligner patented by the company, with belt speed controls allowing infinitely adjustable dwell times from 1 minute to five minutes.

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.
