E-PLUS  This dryer series from Dri-Air Industries Inc. is for faster, more complete drying of plastics that are difficult to dry, and features a new Dri-Link app for monitoring and control from a portable device.

WHAT'S NEW?  A new parabolic tower design, unique heater configuration and optimized airflow. A spring-loaded slide gate closes the outlet automatically, while a closed-loop loader gate keeps dried material in the drying hopper and clean-out line every cycle. The dryer is offered in three sizes with drying capacities of 25, 50 or 100 pounds per hour. It has one moving part (which rotates every two to three hours).

BENEFITS  Maximized moisture pickup for ultra-low dew points, faster drying and reduced regeneration energy usage. Also, greater hopper insulation and a fully enclosed design improve energy efficiency and enhance the temperature profile within the hopper. A master screen shows key operating information at a glance.
