Vastex now sells an intake filter for its EconoRed II and EconoRed 54 dryers. The filter is designed to extend the life of the dryer by capturing lint and dust, keeping the dryer’s cooling system running clean, and, in the process, pulling contaminants from the air. The system draws cool air in, scrubs the dryer, and pulls excess heat and particulates from the chamber. Vastex says it keeps the control section and skin of the dryer cool enough that no insulation is needed outside of the heating elements. The intake filter can be cleaned. Vastex Int
