 If the machine’s heater has been ON, shut the heat control OFF, but allow the belt to continue

running for 10 -15 minutes, or until the heater has cooled to 300°F (149°C) or lower . If the belt
is stopped while the heater is hot, belt damage will occur.

 Switch machine OFF and disconnect from power before beginning any adjustment or mainte-

nance.

 Do not attempt any maintenance while machine is powered.
 Do not run machine with panels or guards removed.

Adjustment and Maintenance:

 Periodically check ink temperature on garments exiting machine. See page 11, “Operation

Tips.” Readjust temperature control as necessary to maintain correct temperature for your appli­cation.
Occasionally, check belt tracking and adjust if necessary. See page 9, step 12.

Aligner

The aligner is a device for tracking the belt and keeping it on the pulley. As the belt moves from

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 heater is hot. The belt should remain
tracked in the center of each pulley. (See Belt Installation and Tracking for adjustment instructions.)

side to side the aligner is used for adjustments to keep it centered. The belt does not have to be
perfectly centered 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.

Startup Procedure

Plug in Dryer:

Check belt path: Remove any objects from the conveyor and belt.

Turn on Conveyor: Set belt speed with the Belt Speed Control on the conveyor, near the motor.

Turn on the Heat

Curing Plastisol with infrared:

Plastisol ink can fully cure in approximately 20-30* seconds. Most inks must achieve 320°-330 F (160°-165°C) throughout to

cure and fuse to the garment. The thicker the ink the hotter the top skin has to be in order to be cured completely to the garment.

Discharge or water based: (A powered exhaust is recommended)
Water based products require more time than plastisol to cure due to the fact that the water/moisture must be evaporated before

the ink can cure. We have seen cure times from 50 to 90* seconds to achieve a full cure or discharge and not damage the gar­ment. Please note as the time is increased the temperature must be decreased to protect the garment from scorching.

*Actual cure times can vary depending on conditions such as garment moisture and color, ink color, ink thickness, and

environmental conditions. All three variables should be used to maximize production while insuring a proper cure.

Set the Heat: With the dryer plugged in, rotate the Variable Control Timer to the desired setting. Often times, it is

: Turn the Variable Heat Control dial on HI for 10-15 minutes to allow the dryer to warm up.

Be sure the breaker and dryer controls are switched off. Plug the dryer into a properly
rated outlet and turn the breaker on.

best to run the dryer on HI and adjust your belt speed and heater height to achieve a proper cure.

Set the Heater Height: Set the desired heater height for your job. On each side of the heating chamber, there is a knob to

raise and lower the heater. It is recommended to run the heater height at about 2” - 3” above the
garment. The heater can be run at an angle for curing non-flat sub-straights such as hats.

Set the Belt Speed: Rotate the Belt Speed Control Knob clockwise to increase speed and counter-clockwise to

decrease it. For Plastisol inks, a good starting point is 20-25 seconds in the chamber. The
dial numbers are for reference only. They do not represent seconds in the chamber.

Operation Tips

 While machine is in operation, it is necessary to have the belt moving while the heater is above 300°F (149°C).
 Allow approximately 15 minutes for dryer to reach Ful l temperature.
 If no garments are being run through the dryer for more than 10 minutes, it is recommended to lower the dryer

heat control to “4” or lower. It will take approximately 10 minutes to return to operating temperature.

 Periodically check ink temperature at the exit of the dryer. It is recommended that you check the temperature of

the ink towards the outside of the printed image.

 When checking temperature with a laser gun, shoot the ink while it is still under the heating elements.

Shut Down Procedure

Turn off Heat: Turn the Heat Control off. Allow the heaters to cool for 10-15 minutes before shutting the

conveyor off. Belt damage may result from stopping the conveyor with hot elements.

Turn off Conveyor: Once the dr yer cools down to 300°F (149°C) or lower, turn the Belt Speed down to the off

position. Skip this step if leaving the conveyor belt speed set for the following shift.

Turn off Breaker: Turn off the breaker controlling the dryers at the end of each shift and unplug them from

their outlets.

Chain Tension measured and why it is important

Pg. 14

The proper chain tension is critical to achieving acceptable service life as excessive tension can cause accelerated wear or
chain overload and excessive slack can cause rough chain operation and possibly result in the chain skipping a sprocket
tooth, resulting in a catastrophic failure. For Vastex drives, the total movement in the slack span of the chain (up and
down total movement) should be .25 to .38 inch. Please see below for picture.

This is the slack in the down position.

This is the slack in the up position.

Total slack is .25
to .38 inch. This is
total up and down
movement.
