- “ECO SHIFT” and “ECO SHIFT PRO” ENERGY CONTROL - The dehumidification air is optimized in terms of flow rate and temperature. A regulation that can be set by the user allows these parameters to be varied, in such a way as to be able to adapt the process air to the characteristics of the polymer being processed, to the hourly production of the plant, to prevent any “overdrying” phenomena of the raw material and, above all, the amount of energy required for the process.
- INDUSTRY 4.0 & IoT - DTM dehumidifiers are all managed by Siemens PLCs which allow a high degree of both horizontal (in terms of I/O) and vertical (in terms of access and remote control, data exchange and supervision) configurability. All units are equipped with a 7” touch-screen HMI operator interface.
- PROCESSED MATERIALS • Technopolymers: ABS, PA, PBT, PC, PMMA, PS, PVC, TPU and many more. • PET / A-PET / Recycle PET. • Biopolymers: PLA, MATER-B and many more.
- TREATMENT TEMPERATURES • MT (up to 150°C): for most technopolymers. • HT (up to 180°C): for PET and recycled PET. • LT (< 50°C): for amorphous materials in applications where they must not crystallize. • HLT (< 50°C up to 180°C): for any type of polymer and biopolymer. Treatment temperature control is managed by a latest generation self-adaptive and self-learning PID.
- AISI 304 STAINLESS STEEL - All parts in contact with the raw material, with reference to the treatment hoppers, are made of AISI 304 stainless steel, which guarantees hygiene and the complete absence of contamination.
- SINGLE OR MULTI-STATION CONFIGURATION DTM - dehumidification units can be configured as single station or multi-station. In the case of the multi-station, the dehumidified air generator can manage up to 6 hoppers with individual control of the treatment conditions (temperature, time, air flow) and, where required, self-adaptive modulation of the air flow of treatment.
Dry To Melt (DTM)
Energy control desiccant dryers
DRY TO MELT energy-controlled desiccant dryers represent the new standard in the dehumidification of hygroscopic polymers and biopolymers.
The energy-controlled dehumidifiers DRY TO MELT (DTM) fall into the category of so-called “desiccant dryers”, i.e. they are circuits made up of a dehumidified air generator unit and a raw material storage hopper. The treatment air is mechanically dehydrated at a dew-point between -40 and -70°C and then thermoregulated at the optimum temperature to act on the polymer being treated, removing its humidity.
