ll Vastex AirFlash and RedFlash infrared flash cure units are now equipped with digital


controls as standard.


The digital controls offer fine adjustment of heat from zero to 100% for repeatable results, diagnostic indicator lights for simplified monitoring, and a high-capacity solid- state relay for long-term reliable service.


The RedFlash series features a low profile head height of only 7cm, and a cooling fan that keeps the outer surface safe to the touch and forms an air curtain around the perimeter to maintain uniform temperatures for edge-to-edge consistency.


The AirFlash series features a 238 m3/h blower with filtered air intake that can distribute clean, heated air uniformly across delicate fabrics such as nylon. For flashing of regular fabrics, the air flow can be diverted to cool the outer skin.


All Vastex flash cure units feature 360° head rotation, an adjustable- height stand with castors, head leveling adjustment, heat shield and side handles for operator safety.
