This is not your father’s type of desiccant dryer! Desiccant wheel dryers are far more efficient, more compact, and require less maintenance than any previous dual bed desiccant dryer.
If you are familiar with old technology dual bed/twin tower or ‘carousel’ dryers, you think of desiccant as a large volume of B-B-sized round beads that are composed of about 30% clay.
Desiccant wheel dryers are entirely different in that the desiccant is pure molecular sieve desiccant that is literally grown onto a synthetic substrate, which is rolled into a round shape and encased in stainless steel.
What is a Desiccant Wheel Resin Dryer?
A desiccant wheel resin dryer is a type of dryer used to remove moisture from plastic resin. It uses a desiccant wheel, which is a rotating drum that contains a desiccant material, such as silica gel or molecular sieves, to dry the resin.
The operation of a desiccant wheel resin dryer involves passing the moist air through the desiccant wheel, which absorbs the moisture. The dry air is then passed over the resin, drying it to the desired level. The desiccant wheel rotates continuously to ensure that the desiccant material is evenly distributed and the drying process is efficient.
One of the advantages of a desiccant wheel resin dryer is that it can operate at a low temperature, which is important for preventing thermal degradation of the resin. Additionally, it is capable of removing moisture from the air even at high humidity levels, making it suitable for use in humid environments.
