The Vastex LittleRed X1-54 Conveyor Dryer is a powerful, mid-level infrared dryer built for growing screen printing shops that need higher throughput without jumping to industrial equipment. With a 54" wide belt and a 48" (122 cm) infrared heater, this dryer delivers fast, even curing for plastisol, water-based, discharge, and DTF adhesive prints.
The X1-54 features Vastex’s signature high-density, medium-wave IR panels, engineered for maximum curing speed and edge-to-edge consistency. A digital PID temperature controller (accurate to ±1°F) and DC belt speed control with digital readout allow precise setup for any ink type. The powered exhaust efficiently removes moisture, fumes, and heat, keeping chamber temperatures consistent during long production runs.
The X1-54 can cure
- 260+ plastisol prints/hr @ 25 seconds
- 90+ water-based/discharge prints/hr @ 70 seconds
Built on Vastex’s heavy-duty “X-Series” tracking system, the dryer includes a durable Teflon-coated fiberglass belt, adjustable heater clearance (2"–7"), and a 5-year heater warranty for long-term reliability. The modular design allows you to expand production later by adding additional chambers or conveyor extensions—giving you room to grow without replacing your dryer.
Whether you're curing high-volume contract jobs or tackling diverse ink systems, the LittleRed X1-54 gives you premium performance, precise control, and unmatched durability in its class.
