Volatile trap
For materials that give off plasticizer residue when dried, an optional Volatile Trap is recommended to demist the volatiles from the hopper’s return air and collect them prior to the air entering the desiccant. Volatile traps extend desiccant life, reduce maintenance and include a convenient drain spigot. Volatile trap requires the optional water-cooled aftercooler.
Precooler
For drying temperatures below 150°F {65°C}, an optional Precooler is required to remove the internal heat of the dryer for low temperature drying. Precooler water connections match those of the standard aftercooler as listed in the specifications section.
Process filter check
A clogged filter will not only decrease dryer performance, it can cause bad end parts, damage the desiccant wheel, pose a safety hazard, or result in unscheduled downtime and increased repair costs. A differential pressure sensor across the filter lets you know when it’s ready for a change.
Drying Monitor
Save time and money by not using improperly dried material. Drying Monitor automatically monitors the heat profile in the hopper, using a 6-zone temperature probe, preventing over or under drying material. An alarm will alert operators of issues.
Communications
Allows the dryer to talk with Conair’s SmartServices cloud or your own network via Modbus TCP/IP or OPC-UA communication protocols. Capabilities include viewing data in real time, pushing commands to the dryer, or controlling the system remotely using the built-in VNC virtual connection.
