DESCRIPTION

Available for immediate sale is this Dri-Air ARID-X 35 HPPD High-Performance Desiccant Resin Drying System, complete with integrated drying hopper, Dri-Air material receiver, digital process / dew-point control, regenerative desiccant drying system, and mobile floor-mounted frame.

TESTED & RUNNING

This machine has been powered up and operationally tested by L R Associates.

The ARID-X 35 HPPD is designed for demanding plastics processing applications requiring reliable removal of moisture from hygroscopic engineering resins prior to injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, or other processing operations.

The HPPD configuration is a high-performance / high-temperature version of Dri-Air's proven ARID-X desiccant dryer platform, making this unit particularly attractive for processors working with demanding engineering resins and applications requiring elevated drying temperatures.

WHY PROPER RESIN DRYING MATTERS

Many engineering-grade thermoplastic resins absorb moisture directly from the surrounding atmosphere.

Simply heating these materials may not adequately remove internally absorbed moisture.

Processing inadequately dried hygroscopic resin can contribute to:

• Splay
• Silver Streaking
• Bubbles
• Surface Defects
• Reduced Mechanical Properties
• Hydrolytic Degradation
• Dimensional Problems
• Poor Part Appearance
• Inconsistent Processing
• Increased Scrap

A regenerative desiccant dryer removes moisture from the drying air before that air is heated and circulated through the resin, allowing moisture to migrate out of the material before processing.

DRI-AIR ARID-X DESICCANT TECHNOLOGY

The ARID-X series utilizes regenerative desiccant drying technology to provide a continuous supply of low-dew-point process air.

While one desiccant bed is drying the process air, the alternate bed can be regenerated so the dryer can maintain continuous operation.

This approach provides substantially more effective moisture removal from hygroscopic plastics than conventional hot-air-only drying.

Comparable ARID-X 35 systems are rated at approximately 35 CFM process airflow, with low-dew-point drying capability designed for demanding plastics applications.

HPPD HIGH-PERFORMANCE / HIGH-TEMPERATURE CONFIGURATION

This is not simply a basic ARID-X 35 dryer.

The machine is identified by Dri-Air as:

ARID-X 35 HPPD

The HPPD configuration is intended for higher-performance and elevated-temperature resin drying applications.

This makes the unit particularly useful for processors working with demanding engineering polymers where moisture removal and accurate process-temperature control are critical.

Actual maximum operating temperature should be confirmed for the buyer's specific resin and application.

DIGITAL PROCESS & DEW POINT CONTROL

The integrated Dri-Air control provides centralized monitoring and adjustment of the drying process.

Control functions visible on the machine include:

• Process Temperature Display
• Temperature Set Point
• Dew Point Display
• Temperature Alarm
• Dew Point Alarm
• Air Pressure Alarm
• Filter Alarm
• Heater Status
• Heater Fault Monitoring
• Regeneration Status
• Zone 1 Monitoring
• Zone 2 Monitoring
• Process Zone Monitoring
• Timer Functions
• Day Programming
• Begin / End Programming
• Time Programming
• Setup Functions

This is a considerably more sophisticated control package than a basic hot-air resin dryer.

INTEGRATED DRYING HOPPER

The machine includes a substantial Dri-Air drying hopper mounted directly to the system.

The hopper provides the residence time required for heated, low-dew-point air to pass through the resin and remove absorbed moisture prior to processing.

Features include:

• Insulated Hopper Construction
• Sight Level Window
• Hinged / Removable Access
• Process Air Connections
• Return Air Connections
• Material Discharge
• Integrated Dryer Mounting

DRI-AIR MATERIAL RECEIVER INCLUDED

This system also includes a Dri-Air material receiver mounted with the dryer package.

The receiver can be incorporated into a pneumatic resin loading / conveying arrangement to reduce manual handling of material.

This is especially useful when feeding resin from a gaylord, material bin, storage container, or other source into the drying system.
