Three years ago Schmit Prototypes installed the Dri-Air Industries hopper bank drying system, which has simplified and improved their processing. “Being a custom molder we tend to do a lot of mold/material changeovers, having resin readily dry and available is crucial to our success in meeting our customers’ demands,” said Steve Upton, President.
Some additional benefits they experience are:
- Faster changeover as resin is pre-dried and ready to go
- More workspace by removing the portable dryers away from the molding machines;
- We use less energy, both in drying material and cooling our molding department;
- More consistent parts with controlled material;
- Less waste, both in raw material and finished goods;
- Labor savings with both set up and change over.
The company did a cost study on the savings the Dri-Air Hopper Bank System has provided, and determined that they made a complete return on investment within 14 months of installing the system.
