Frequently Asked Questions

What types of materials can be dried with industrial dryer systems?
Our dryer systems are designed for various hygroscopic plastic materials including PET, PA (nylon), PC, PBT, ABS, PLA, and other engineering resins that require precise moisture removal for optimal processing in injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding applications.
Why is low dew point important for plastic drying?
Low dew point (typically -40°F or lower) ensures extremely dry air for effective moisture removal from hygroscopic materials. This prevents manufacturing defects like splay marks, bubbles, weak weld lines, and dimensional instability while improving overall part quality, mechanical properties, and production consistency.
What dryer configurations are available for different production needs?
We offer various dryer configurations including single hopper dryers, central drying systems, compact dryers for tight spaces, high-capacity units for large production volumes, and specialized dryers for temperature-sensitive materials. Each system can be customized for specific material requirements and production environments.
What are the energy efficiency features of modern dryer systems?
Our dryer systems feature advanced energy-saving technologies including variable speed blowers, heat recovery systems, optimized airflow designs, and intelligent control systems that adjust drying parameters based on material type and moisture content. These features reduce energy consumption by up to 40% compared to conventional drying systems.
How do I determine the right dryer size for my application?
The appropriate dryer size depends on several factors: material type, production rate, required drying temperature, moisture content, and available floor space. Our technical team can help calculate the optimal dryer capacity based on your specific material throughput, residence time requirements, and future production goals.
What maintenance and service support is available?
We provide comprehensive maintenance support including detailed service manuals, preventative maintenance schedules, remote monitoring capabilities, and responsive technical support. Our systems feature easy-access design for filter changes, desiccant replacement, and routine maintenance to minimize downtime and ensure consistent performance.
