About this machine
The Vastex Little RED X1 is a used infrared dryer and stenter — sometimes referred to as a conveyor dryer or tunnel dryer in screen-printing and garment-decoration contexts — designed to cure and dry inks applied to textiles. Vastex is a well-established American manufacturer specialising in screen-printing equipment, producing products ranging from exposure units and screen-printing presses through to flash curers and conveyor dryers for the garment and textile decoration industry.
This 2019 machine is offered in used condition from Romania, priced at €4,200. It operates on a standard 230 V single-phase power supply, making it suitable for non-industrial or small-studio environments without the need for dedicated three-phase electrical infrastructure. The dryer uses infrared heating technology and features both adjustable heating temperature and variable belt travel speed, giving operators precise control over the curing process to suit different ink types and fabric weights.
The conveyor belt measures 61 cm wide, which is sufficient to accommodate larger garments including XL and XXL sizes laid flat for uninterrupted drying. The heated band length is 76 cm. In terms of throughput, the machine is rated at a minimum of 130 pieces per hour when curing plastisol inks, and a minimum of 45 pieces per hour when processing water-based inks — the lower rate for water-based reflecting the greater dwell time those inks typically require to fully cure.
The unit includes a provision to connect an extraction hood for venting fumes and stale air away from the workspace, which is a practical consideration when curing plastisol or solvent-adjacent materials indoors. A notable feature is the ability to extend the dryer's capacity by coupling an additional drying unit in line with the existing machine, effectively doubling throughput without replacing the current unit — a cost-efficient upgrade path for growing operations.
The machine is constructed from materials described by the manufacturer as offering high strength and dimensional stability, contributing to consistent belt tracking and reliable long-term performance.
