Safety Instructions

 The operator should read and understand the instruction manual before operating this equipment. Store

instruction manual and safety instructions near equipment for easy access to operators.

 VASTEX Screen Drying Cabinet is intended for the drying of emulsion on screen printing screens. Do

not use for any other purpose unless authorized by Vastex International, Inc. Use of this equipment for

any other purpose can be dangerous and may cause damage to this equipment voiding the warranty.

 It is recommended that the area around this equipment be designated as a work area and only author-

ized employees are allowed in this area.

 Children and pets must be kept clear from the work area.

 Never leave equipment unattended.

 DO NOT operate dry cabinet with any cover or guard removed.

 Operator must be familiar with controls of the dryer.

 Before starting production, the operator must check that all covers and guards are in place, no material

has been left in the cabinet, and the exhaust duct is clear of any obstructions.

 Always turn off power at the main disconnect at the end of production.

 Do Not remove any cover or guard until power at the main disconnect is switched off and locked out. No

unauthorized persons are to be allowed inside the control boxes.

 Turn off and lock out power at the main disconnect before cleaning and maintenance.

 Only qualified technicians should be allowed to make repairs on the VASTEX Screen Drying Cabinet.

 Noise and Vibraon: This noise level produced by this equipment does not exceed 70 dB(A).

Operation

1) Before using the dry cabinet, make sure the inside is thoroughly clean and dust free. Never

operate with dirty or missing intake filter.

2) Turn on the power switch, make sure fan is operating. Leave the unit on until the screens are

dry. It will take approximately 40-60 minutes to dry a fully loaded cabinet of coated screens. The

actual time with depend on the humidity level in your room. A dehumidifier is recommended for

better screen development.

4) Once the screens are dry, turn off the power switch. The screens can be stored in the cabinet

until needed.

Maintenance

1) Every week, the intake filter should be checked and cleaned as needed. A dirty filter re-

duces air flow thru the cabinet and will alter the drying process. The filter should be replaced

as necessary. Filter material can be ordered through Vastex.

2) It is important that the inside of the dry cabinet is keep clean. Periodic cleaning of the in-

side of the cabinet is recommended.

3) Check the exhaust for debris and clogging. Any restriction in the exhaust will alter the dry-

ing process.

To prevent over curing the emulsion, which

can cause premature exposure, screen

temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).
