2-1 Models Covered in This Manual

This manual provides operation, installation, and maintenance instructions for 15, 30 and 60 cfm dehumidifying dryers. Model numbers are listed on the serial tag. Make sure you know the model and serial number of your equipment before contacting the manufacturer for parts or service.

Our dehumidifying mini dryers are designed to generate heated dehumidified air (at a very low dew point) at carefully controlled temperatures for use in plastic drying systems. The dryer circulates hot air through a column of plastic resin in the large drying hopper. The resin in the hopper is discharged through a slide gate in a “first in, first out” manner.

2-2 General Description

The Drying System

Dehumidifying dryers are used to generate very low dew point air heated to a controlled temperature for drying plastic pellets and regrind.

Our dryers force hot, dry air through resin in a drying hopper, where air picks up moisture from the material and draws it back to the dryer. In the dryer, a desiccant bed strips moisture from the air. The dried process air is then re-heated and delivered back into the drying hopper for more moisture removal.

Portion of the low dew point process air is directed to the desiccant tank that is off process. This air is heated to approximately 450°F (232°C) before entering the bed that is in regeneration. The moisture is then forced from the desiccant before being exhausted into the atmosphere. A small amount of ambient air is introduced into the process return air filter to make up for the air lost during the bed regeneration. To compensate for the humidity content in the air, this dryer is supplied with the proper amount of desiccant.

What is desiccant?

Desiccant is a material that attracts and holds (absorbs) water from the air. The desiccant our dryers use is a synthetic crystalline metal aluminosilicate blended with a clay binder and formed into beads.

The Process/Regeneration Cycle

Our dryers have two desiccant beds. While one bed is on-line in the process air loop, the other is off-line, being regenerated.

When a desiccant bed is on-line, it absorbs moisture from the process air. In time, the bed becomes saturated with moisture and needs to be regenerated. The dryer automatically redirects the process airflow to the second bed, and starts the regeneration cycle on the first bed.

During regeneration, the dryer system heats the very low dew point air and forces it through the desiccant bed. The moisture driven off the bed bleeds to the atmosphere.
