Why do Dri-Air dryers perform so well?
It’s our in depth understanding and expertise of the four major elements to successful drying of plastic resin. These key elements are:
- Temperature – our hopper design assures accurate and uniform temperatures throughout the hopper
- Air Flow – Dri-Air dryers are sized for 1 CFM per pound per hour while wheel dryers are sized for .6 CFM per hour – more airflow means faster drying of all materials, not just polycarbonate so you can dry todays and tomorrow’s materials! You will also save 40-50% on your energy bills thanks to our exclusive single blower design
- Dew Point – with dewpoints down to –131ºF, you can be confident that our standard and high performance drying systems dry even the most demanding materials to spec, regardless of ambient conditions
- Residence Time – our unique advantage in airflow, temperature, and extremely low dewpoint assures the shortest drying times in the industry (as low as 20 minutes!) – faster drying times for quicker startups and changeovers saving you money!
