Front Pulley
Belt The conveyor belt is made of Teflon coated fiberglass. It is joined together with an alligator lace using a
steel pin to connect each side. The belt will not burn under normal conditions but the dryer should always
have the belt moving while the heaters are above 300 degrees (149 deg. C). The belt should remain
tracked in the center of each pulley. (See “Belt Installation and Tracking” for adjustment instructions.)
Aligner
The aligner is a device for tracking the belt and keeping it on the pulley. As the belt moves from side to
side the aligner is used for adjustments to keep it centered. The belt does not have to be perfectly cen-
tered on the pulley but should not be hanging over either edge.
Pulley The pulleys at either end of the conveyor are made by VASTEX of 4 ½ inch tubing with ¾ inch center
shaft. They are mounted on self aligning flange bearing blocks for precision rolling.
Gear Motor A 90 Volt DC gear motor is located to the rear of the conveyor. It drives the rear pulley and belt with a
roller and a #25 chain.
IR Heater The infrared heaters in VASTEX dryers emit medium wave infrared heat, perfect for curing plastisol inks.
The heater connections are located in the trough on the right side of the heater, connected with high tem-
perature terminals and stainless steel socket head cap screws.
Control Box The Control Box houses the Variable Heat Control and a Heat Light.
Exhaust Stack 4” unpowered exhaust stack. (Optional) Exhaust booster can be added here to pull fumes out of the
chamber and exhaust outside.
