EconoRed Infra Red Conveyor Ovens

Advanced high production screen printing conveyor dryers

EC-I Infra Red Conveyor Oven Infra red conveyor ovens for screen printers come in many guises to address the needs of individual t-shirt printers and other screen printing operations. The EconoRed range of screen printing conveyor dryers will satisfy the more demanding printer that requires medium production capabilities with the added convenience of an advanced, highly accurate, digital temperature control on the oven.

With increased production capabilities of 150-300 pieces per chamber, per hour on the EconoRed I range, these conveyor ovens still retain a high level of compactness. The EconoRed II range feature production capabilities from 250+ pieces per hour (EC-II-30) up to 1,500+ pieces per hour (EC-II-54-3). Estimated production capabilities are based on curing plastisol printed t-shirts and will differ for pad printed products.

EconoRed screen printing conveyor dryers are also very economical to operate. The EC-I series of conveyor ovens costs just £0.35 per hour, per chamber to operate based on electricity cost of £0.10 per kWh, while the EC-II-30 series would cost £0.60 per hour, per chamber and the EC-II-54 £1.20 per hour, per chamber.

EconoRed infra red conveyor ovens can be upgraded at any time when production capability needs to be increased. Each dryer can have both belt extensions and additional drying chambers added and throughput can be at least doubled and in some cases almost tripled according to individual requirements.

Optional Accessories

There are a number of upgrades that can be specified for all of the Vastex infra red tunnel dryer range.

These include belt extensions and extra independently contolled heating chambers to increase the production capacity of the dryer.

In addition, an optional exhaust hood can be added to the DriBox 30 series and all Econored models. The exhaust hood is a popular upgrade that allows any vapour or fumes to be extracted from the garment as it exits the dryer chamber.

Screen printing conveyor dryers need to be efficient and with this in mind the EconoRed range offer a powered exhaust with double wall construction and filtered intake, which keeps the heat inside while the outer cabinet and controls stay cool. EconoRed screen printing conveyor dryers are truly innovative in their design and have been engineered to be shorter and smaller with high heat and fast production times.

We are pleased to offer four models and these are available in 76cm (30") and 137cm (54") belt widths with either a single or double heater unit.
