Conveyor Components 

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 heater is hot. 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 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.  

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. 

Belt Speed Control 

Rotate knob clockwise to increase, counter clockwise to decrease belt speed. Turn knob counter 

clockwise until it clicks for off position. 

Heat Control 

Turns power on/off and varies heater temperature. 

Fuses  

Protects the belt drive control circuit.  

One required for 120V Dryers, two required for 240V Dryers 

IR Heater

The infrared heaters in VASTEX dryers emit medium wave infrared heat, perfect for curing many 

types of fabric inks. The heater height and tilt is adjusted by knobs located on the sides of the chamber. 
A heater height scale allows for accurate height adjustment.
