New, Larger Carousel Plus™ Dryers from Conair Cut Energy Use While Processing up to 5000 lbs/hr

The newest units in the Carousel Plus™ line of dryers can save processors up to 35% on energy consumption compared to other desiccant dryers used in similar applications. The secret lies in the desiccant-wheel design, which has fewer parts and lighter structural mass so it heats and cools more easily. Aimed at standard or central drying applications, the W1000 dryer delivers nominal throughput rates over 1500 lbs/hr, while other units can yield throughputs ranging from 600 to more than 5000 lbs/hr.

The standard microprocessor control system ensures rock-steady temperatures and dew point levels, which are critical to processing many of the moisture and temperature sensitive polymers in common use today. For the highest level of precision, a dewpoint control can be added. The operator selects a particular dew point value and locks it into the control, which then adjusts various dryer functions to hold that dew point precisely. This is particularly important when running some of the moisture-sensitive polymers that are subject to degradation if they are over-dried

Overall, the new central Carousel Plus dryers are smaller and lighter than other dryers of similar capacity. The weight of the desiccant assembly has been reduced by as much as 70% and the total part count has been reduced by 90%. Indexing bed plates have been eliminated, along with unnecessary valving. With the molecular sieve desiccant bonded onto a non-woven fiberglass substrate and bonded onto a continuously rotating wheel, messy desiccant beads are also eliminated for simple, trouble-free operation.
