Compact, Mobile Dryer Has Unique Conveying Capabilities

The CRX Comb series of Mobilux Dryers is a compact line built around Moretto’s popular X Comb dryer and is available in models that range from 5- to 50-lb/hr drying capability. Each CRX Comb model includes a honeycomb wheel of zeolite desiccant, and is equipped with anti-stress technology preventing overdrying and automatic modulation of drying air for optimum drying performance with minimal energy consumption. 

The use of exclusive Zeolite desiccant delivers continuous dew points of -78°F and each CRX Comb requires only a single electrical power connection for operation; no compressed air or water is required, adding to the portability and convenience of the system.

Coupled with the X Comb dryer is Moretto’s unique OTX hopper, ensuring homogeneous dehumidification in a shorter time and smaller size than conventional hoppers. This is made possible by the hopper’s innovative internal geometry, which directs resin into a cylindrical flow pattern through the hopper, equalizing the surface resistance common in hopper flow, guaranteeing consistent, efficient and homogeneous treatment of technical polymers.

The stainless-steel hopper is insulated and covered over its entire exterior with corrugated, “shockproof” stainless steel. The hinged lid is designed for ease of use and safety which streamline inspection activities and enhance operation and maintenance. A smooth inspection door on the front is designed with a virtually smooth interior profile, further minimizing obstruction to resin and dry air flow within the hopper.

Conveying is provided via a powerful peripheral vacuum pump for filling both the system’s drying hopper and the processing machine the system will serve. To prevent the regain of moisture by the resin between the drying hopper and the processing machine, the CRX includes closed-loop conveying, minimizing the use of ambient air for resin movement. Ample space is provided below the drying hopper for easy draining, complemented by a large clean-out door and hinged hopper lid. All-stainless Moretto vacuum receivers provide for resin movement.

A compact, full-color touchscreen control panel provides everything needed for both drying and conveying with icon-driven simplicity. An onboard library of 200 material specifications are included and users are prompted to input only the material being dried and the throughput to begin drying.
