Carousel Plus™ dX Models 150-200

Energy Saving Mobile Cart Dryers

Mobile Drying and Conveying systems eliminate the need for machine-mounted hoppers by placing all components on a safe, convenient cart.

Set-up, pre-drying, clean-out and maintenance can all take place without tying up valuable process machine time, or climbing on the machine.

Available with a 4-inch or 7-inch color touch screen, the user experience has been improved to make these dryers smarter, more intuitive, and easier to learn and use. This makes the Carousel Plus dryer perfect for existing or new operators. Designed to work seamlessly with Conair’s SmartServices, these dryers prove that data is king. With remote trouble shooting, process validation, and total machine control just a click away, this dryer is literally at your fingertips wherever you are. Carousel Plus dryers – always ahead of the curve.

Simple to use, advanced touchscreen controls

The DC-B control platform maximizes user confidence. The 4-inch “Plus”, or 7-inch “Premium” touchscreen control has new intuitive design and navigation. Training new operators is easy and quick. Even novice operators feel comfortable. The color touch screens feature detailed trending, auto start, password protection and recipe control.

Closed-loop drying/conveying

Each dryer uses a 2-blower closed-loop drying system which makes them ultra consistent and efficient, no matter what the location or time of year. The conveying option adds an additional blower, just for conveying material. The dX includes a water-cooled after cooler as standard, providing drying temperatures from 150°F – 375°F.

Maximum uptime, maximum reliability, smaller footprint

With significantly reduced part count, easy access and less wear, you can expect many years of trouble-free operation. There are no indexing desiccant beds, no complex air valves, and no loose desiccant beads. The desiccant wheel is solid, and continuously rotating. Start and stop timers allow you to pre-dry resin, so it’s ready when needed.

DC-C Control Features

Audible and visual alarm – A flashing alarm beacon and horn.
Temperature setback – Automatically reduces the drying temperature to a lower standby mode when the machine throughput is reduced or stopped.
Dewpoint monitor – Monitor dryer performance with a digital readout.
Dewpoint control – Allows the dryer to maintain an operator-selected dewpoint and adjust automatically to changing moisture content.
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.
DC-B Control: 4-inch or 7-inch color touchscreen, real-time data trending (dewpoint, temperature, heater on-time), auto start/stop, password protected, energy usage monitor, dewpoint monitor and control, visual alarm, predictive maintenance
