Resin Dryer features optimized volumetric blending system.

Press Release Summary:




By eliminating mixing chamber, PDII Dryer yields accurate ratio from shot-to-shot basis. Both feeders are mounted on load cells to monitor and record amount of each material used. In use, feeder is automatically filled to preset amount by opening gate under drying hopper. Actual amount of material in feeder is recorded and compared to amount left in feeder after dispensing into common conveying stream. Ratios can be programmed into touchscreen from 1-50% for processing colorant or regrind.

Dri-Air Industries Offers New Gravimetric Dryer/Blender



Offers precise measurement of the materials

(Dri-Air Industries, Inc., East Windsor, CT) - Dri-Air Industries has upgraded their volumetric blending system for their PDII dryer. Both feeders are mounted on load cells to monitor and record the actual amount of each material used. A unique algorithm for the PLC was developed to maintain the exact ratio between the different materials. In use, the feeder is automatically filled to a preset amount by opening a gate under the drying hopper. The actual amount of material in the feeder is recorded and compared to the amount left in the feeder after dispensing into the common conveying stream.

This system yields a more accurate ratio from a shot-to-shot basis than other designs by eliminating the mixing chamber. Ratios can be programmed into the touch screen from 1 to 50 percent for processing colorant or regrind. The feeders are easily removed from the dryer for cleaning.
