I've not seen one in person, but they look like a spruced up vastex to me.
In all honestly, you could spend a little bit more $ and get a nice used gas dryer.

The vastex is what comes to mind seeing it. I am getting a Roq press and they have priced a roqit in on the deal, will need a dryer so seeing what others think of it. Don't know if it would be good as a starter or something for the press.

Depending on the deal they're giving you on it, it could be a good option, but going with that press I would think a gas dryer would be ideal in the long run and would cut out having to potentially upgrade to something bigger down the road, depending on how yall grow and utilities would possibly be cheaper as well.

We have one, got it with our Sroque.  It's the Vastex dryer with a paint job, they make them for Ryonet.  Vastex makes awesome dryers, and this one doesn't disappoint.  Handles production no problem, never had a bottle neck problem.  If you were getting into waterbase and dc, then I would consider looking at a gas dryer, but it wasn't in the cards for us at the time.  You will be happy with it.

If you are looking to print water base ink go gas.   175 shirts a hours is going to kill production.  I would suggest 12 ft of heat for that press to keep up with 600 to 700 shirts a hour and a 64 in belt for water base.  If you aren't printing water base now one day you will want to and than you will wish you had a gas dryer.

We print 300/hr with waterbase on ours, 600+ for plastisol.  When we make our next move to a bigger shop and another auto we will go with a big gas dryer.  I can't really tell you what the difference in electric bill is since we moved into a bigger building and added the auto and bigger dryer all at the same time.  Not even sure what it really costs because we had no comparisons to draw from.
