Processors of hygroscopic materials know they need an effective resin drying system. Wrong-fit drying reduces product quality, shortens equipment life and drives up operation costs.
But while proper, consistent drying usually comes with a significant energy cost, you can deliver huge savings by dialing in the right drying equipment for your facility. If you know the materials you want to dry, the moisture level you need to reach and how fast you need it to get there, we can recommend a cost-effective, right-fit solution. We’ll even provide total cost of ownership data.

Nix nozzle bleed, bubbly molds and product fingerprinting
Product imperfection caused by moist materials is avoidable, wasteful and harmful to both the quality of your product and your reputation among customers. In some cases, poorly dried product even damages molds, bringing even more costs.
To guarantee a consistent product and reduce quality-related waste, you’ll need to choose the right dryer for your facility and application. If you want a dryer to provide value across multiple production lines, investigate a mobile dryer with specs to meet all your facility’s needs. Our experts will help.

Get more visibility into your operation
Do you know how effective your dryers are right now? How efficient they are? A drying monitor can provide real-time insight into:
- How well your dryers are working
- How much they’re costing you to operate
- What steps you can take to improve performance and efficiency
- When to perform predictive maintenance
If you’re updating your facility one dryer at a time, don’t worry. Our monitor functions on any dryer, no matter the supplier.

Still using dryer beads? Pigeonholed into an electric dryer?
Traditionally, dryers used beds of desiccant beads to help speed the drying process. By impregnating the desiccant on a wheel that spins within the dryer, you increase surface-to-air-flow ratio and reduce thermal mass. So your material dries faster at a fraction of the energy cost. And one wheel can produce consistent drying for ten years before needing to be changed out.
If you still use a desiccant bead dryer, you can enhance your efficiency — and ditch the need to change out your beads every two years — by switching to a desiccant wheel dryer.
Switching from electric drying to gas (or vice versa) could also deliver huge cost savings. To go one step further, we can even offer a dryer that can switch between the two as utility costs change.
