Description

Compact Tabletop Conveyor Dryer

Vastex D100 — The Smallest Fully-Featured Vastex Dryer

A 4-foot tabletop conveyor dryer that cures up to 110 plastisol shirts per hour. Made in Bethlehem, PA. Backed by Vastex’s industry-leading 15-year heater warranty. Perfect for live events, pop-ups, hobbyists, DTF startups, schools, and garage shops.

Why Choose the D100

Portable Tabletop Design

At only 4 ft long and 2 ft wide, the D100 fits on tabletops, utility carts, or the low-cost S1-27 stand — ideal for live events, pop-ups, trade shows, and small garages.

Powerful Infrared Heater

16″ x 16″ 1,625W medium-wavelength infrared heater cures plastisol at 110 shirts per hour. Heater can be raised, lowered, or angled for bulky items and hats.

Dual Voltage Options

Choose 120V (standard outlet) or 240V (dedicated circuit) for faster ramp-up. Can be powered by a small generator for mobile and event printing.

15-Year Heater Warranty

Same industry-leading warranty as Vastex’s largest floor dryers — backed by Vastex’s Bethlehem, PA factory operating since 1960.

Engineering & Built-In Vastex DNA

INFRARED TECH
Medium-Wave IR Heat
Closely-spaced coils deliver the wavelength best absorbed by inks. Heats the ink directly, not the air, for faster cures without cold spots.
CONTROL
Digital PID ±1°F
PID temperature controller accurate to ±1°F. Repeatable cures shift after shift — essential for water-based, discharge, and DTG where the temp window is narrow.
WARRANTY
15-Year Heater Coverage
The longest warranty in the screen printing industry. Vastex has been building infrared dryers in Bethlehem, PA since 1960.
DURABILITY
Teflon-Coated Belt
Industry-standard Teflon-coated fiberglass belt shrugs off ink drips, solvent splashes, years of hard use. Replacement belts ship same day.

Available With or Without Powered Exhaust

OPTION A

Without Powered Exhaust (Standard)

Right for plastisol-only work in a well-ventilated shop or outdoor event. Simpler setup, lower cost, still fully featured — variable heat, variable belt speed, tilting heater, full warranty.

Best for:
Plastisol only · well-ventilated shops · outdoor events · tightest budget
OPTION B

With Powered Exhaust Hood (Recommended)

Top-mounted exhaust pulls fumes away from the operator with vertical ducting and significantly reduced noise. Vastex strongly recommends the exhaust hood for DTF, water-based, discharge, and any confined space.

Best for:
DTF adhesives · water-based & discharge · confined spaces · high-volume plastisol

Not sure? The powered exhaust is also available as a retrofit kit — start without it, add later as your shop or ink mix changes. Ask when you call.

BUILT TO ORDER · 7-14 DAY LEAD TIME · DROP-SHIPS FROM VASTEX

All Vastex equipment is built to order at the factory in Bethlehem, PA and drop-ships direct from Vastex. The D100 typically takes 7-14 days to build before shipping — though actual lead time varies with current factory backlog, your voltage choice, and exhaust option.

Need a firm lead time before you order? We confirm with Vastex same-day — three ways to reach us:

Electrical Requirements

240V models need a dedicated circuit. Call with your shop’s amp service before ordering and we’ll confirm compatibility.

Ventilation Required

All infrared dryers benefit from proper venting — required for water-based, discharge, and DTF. We spec ducting and make-up air.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What can the D100 Conveyor Dryer cure?
The D100 Conveyor Dryer cures plastisol inks at 110 garments/hr and water-based, discharge, and DTF adhesives at 50 garments/hr. For DTG digital white ink curing, see the LittleRed X1D, X2D, X3D, or BigRed 4D models.
What voltage does it require?
This dryer runs on 120V or 240V. 240V models require a dedicated circuit — call us with your shop’s electrical specs before ordering and we’ll confirm compatibility.
What is the heater warranty?
All Vastex dryers carry an industry-leading 15-year heater warranty — the longest in the screen printing industry. Vastex has been building infrared dryers in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania since 1960.
Is the D100 expandable?
No. The compact tabletop design is fixed for portability; for expandable options, step up to the LittleRed X-Series.
Do I need ventilation?
Yes. All infrared dryers benefit from proper venting, and curing water-based, discharge, DTG, and DTF require it. Vastex offers matched exhaust hoods (EXH-18/24/30/54) and most models have powered exhaust options. We can spec ducting and make-up air for your shop when you call.
What’s the belt made of and how long will it last?
The conveyor belt is Teflon-coated fiberglass — the industry standard for durability under heat and chemical exposure. Belts typically last several years in production environments. Replacement belts are stocked and ship same-day.
How do I know my cure is actually reaching temperature?
Every Vastex dryer is factory-calibrated, but we recommend using a donut probe (Atkins Type-K) to verify ink temperature on every new setup and after any adjustments. We stock the donut probe — ask when you call.
Does River City Supply offer installation and training?
Most Vastex dryers are ready-to-run out of the crate with minimal assembly (plug-and-cure on compact models). For larger EconoRed, X-Series multi-chamber, and BigRed 4D units, we provide setup guidance over the phone and can coordinate on-site installation where needed.
Is financing available?
Yes — equipment financing is available on all Vastex dryers through our financing partner. Section 179 tax advantages may apply for qualifying businesses. Click here to apply for financing, or call (512) 454-0505 and we’ll walk you through it.
How fast does it ship, and is shipping free?
Vastex dryers are built-to-order. Most dryers take an average of 2–6 weeks to build before shipping, depending on the model, configuration, and current factory backlog. The D100 and D1000 ship UPS Ground with FREE SHIPPING to the continental U.S. For the most accurate lead time and (if applicable) freight quote for your exact build, chat with us using the Tidio chat icon on this page, email [email protected], or call (512) 454-0505 before you order.
