Hot air dryers for non-hygroscopic material

Ensure reliable material quality by effectively reducing moisture in non-hygroscopic plastics and polymers, essential for maintaining optimal performance in your production line.

Dries Non-Hygroscopic Plastics and Polymers

AEC’s HA-F Series Hot Air Dryers are designed to efficiently dry non-hygroscopic plastics and polymers like polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene. These dryers utilize a direct-drive blower system, eliminating belt-related maintenance and providing consistent airflow from 60 to 1500 CFM. The precision 1/16 DIN temperature control, adjustable up to 300°F (149°C), ensures optimal drying conditions while minimizing energy consumption. The dryers integrate seamlessly with existing production lines, working efficiently in pre-processing and final conditioning stages. Their compact design and easy-to-service components, including externally mounted process air heaters, uphold high reliability and ease of maintenance. Customizable features, such as varied supply voltages and additional filtration options, allow for tailored solutions to meet industry-specific demands in plastics, packaging, and automotive sectors.

Benefits
