ResinWorks™ is Conair’s modular centralized resin-handling system designed for plastics processors that need clean, reliable, and automated material storage, drying, unloading, and conveying. It integrates every step of resin management into a single engineered solution tailored to plant layout, throughput requirements, and multiple material types. ResinWorks improves efficiency, reduces contamination risk, and streamlines changeovers for injection molding, extrusion, and blow-molding operations.
ResinWorks™ is a complete, configurable resin-handling system that brings resin storage, receiving, drying, blending, and conveying into one unified platform. Instead of managing material manually or through disconnected equipment, ResinWorks centralizes the process using engineered manifolds, pumps, receivers, filtration, and automation controls.
Engineered by Conair, the global leader in auxiliary plastics equipment, ResinWorks is built for processors who need consistent material flow, reduced manual handling, and scalable plant-wide integration.
Who ResinWorks Is Designed For?
ResinWorks supports plastics processors that handle high volumes of virgin, regrind, and specialty resins, including:
Injection molding plants
Extrusion and compounding facilities
Blow-molding operations
Plants managing multiple material types or frequent changeovers
It is ideal for operations that want to reduce labor, maintain resin quality, and standardize material-handling across multiple lines or machines.
Features
Systems that are conceived, configured and designed to make you more competitive, efficient, productive and profitable.
Provides full flexibility – any material to any machine at any time.
Ten minute material changes – pre-dried, pre-blended material always ready.
Clean, neat processing – removes drying and blending equipment from the machine area.
Convey small batchs – from dryer or blender to machine.
Conveying lines purged – after every cycle
Minimizes labor, energy, material and inventory costs
ResinWorks™ with Optimizer™ AI
Optimizer™ AI is Conair’s next-generation intelligent drying technology that enhances the ResinWorks™ centralized drying system. It automatically selects the correct drying temperature for each resin, adapts to varying throughputs, monitors hopper conditions in real time, and adjusts airflow to prevent over-drying.
What Optimizer™ AI Does
Automatically determines optimal drying temperatures for each resin
Continuously monitors hopper load, airflow, and moisture conditions
Prevents over-drying and resin degradation
Reduces energy consumption through demand-based control
Stabilizes resin quality across variable production loads
Benefits for Processors
Energy savings through intelligent temperature management
Higher material consistency with closed-loop monitoring
Fewer manual adjustments for operators
Extended dryer system life by avoiding excessive heat cycles
Seamless integration with ResinWorks™ drying and conveying workflows
Optimizer™ AI represents the shift toward predictive, automated, plant-wide auxiliary equipment — helping processors Make Every Pellet Count while reducing energy waste and improving quality.
Integrated supply and return air manifolds
Integrated supply and return air manifolds replace the externally mounted bulky manifolds for a simplified installation of material conveying lines to each hopper.
Mass flow, stainless steel, drying hopper
The Conair ResinWorks mass flow, stainless steel, drying hopper is equipped with an oversized door for quick, easy clean out and thorough material changes. A full length sight glass with level indication lets you see your material level at a glance.
Airflow balancing valve
The new, fully-automatic airflow balancing valve eliminates the need for tedious individual air flow adjustments at each hopper.
Frequently Asked Questions
ResinWorks integrates resin storage, unloading, dryers, vacuum pumps, receivers, filters, central manifolds, and automated controls. Each system is engineered to match plant layout, resin types, and throughput needs.
The system uses sealed conveying lines, filtered vacuum systems, and automated routing to eliminate open transfers that expose resin to dust, moisture, or cross-contamination.
Optimizer™ AI enhances ResinWorks’ centralized drying system by automatically adjusting drying temperatures, monitoring hopper conditions, and controlling airflow to prevent over-drying. This reduces energy use and maintains resin consistency.
Options
Adjustable Purge Valve
This valve controls material flow from material source to destination. This easy to clean and install valve has a discharge that rotates 360 degrees to allow complete purge of material lines.
Slide Gate
Use the Slide Gate to prevent material leakage when no purge valve or distribution box is specified on the hopper.
Multiple Sled Connection Kit
This option allows the connection between multiple sleds for the integral supply, return and conveying manifolds. For each junction between sleds, a kit is required.
Hopper Discharge Drain Port
Facilitates hopper draining and clean out
Temperature Setback RTD
Automatically reduces the drying temperature to a lower standby mode when the machine throughput is reduced or stopped.
