The Roland DG VersaStudio BY2-20 is a compact DTF solution Vastex: ERVP-III-24 & ERVP-VI-24 Vastex reports that its two DTF-capable conveyor dryers “protect shop personnel from ethylene glycol, a toxic synthetic fluid emitted by DTF adhesives as a vapour during the curing process”. The manufacturer explains: “Engineered specifically for DTF curing, where adhesives off-gas large volumes of glycol, the dryers draw filtered make-up air through the top-centre of the heating chamber, and through its double-wall top and sides, serving to cool the outer skin and chamber edges for operator safety. “Preheated make-up air flows into the heat chamber, replacing the exhausted air being drawn out along each side of the belt, while preventing an inrush of air from the infeed and exit of the dryer that would otherwise disturb lighter materials. The volume of air entering the chamber is also adjustable, allowing the operator to fine-tune the air flow.” Two models are offered, both with 61cm-wide, variable speed conveyor belts: the ERVP-III-24 with 10,800 watts, and the ERVP-VI-24, with a double heating chamber and 15,600 watts for higher belt speeds.
