Description:
DRI-AIR Desiccant Plastic Pellet Dryer. This unit is model APD-4. This dryer has been wired for 230 VAC single phase power but can be connected for 3 phase power. It is micro-computer controlled for temperature and desiccant regeneration and is fully automatic requiring only that you load it and turn it on. This dryer will typically dry 35 pounds per hour. It comes with the complete operating manual.
Dri-Air APD-4 consists of the ARID-X 35, 46-CFM, automatic regenerating, dual desiccant bed dryer and a two-piece, 150 lb. capacity drying hopper, all built on a 25”x39” floor frame.
We purchased this dryer in January of 1999. It has a total of 10 hours of use. This machine is in mint condition - No dings, No damage, it works just like the day we got it. We bought it and dried 100 pounds of nylon pellets and 100 pounds of ABS. (The injection molding equipment we were renting was not maintained well by the company we were renting from and when the molding equipment failed we lost our ability to mold parts.) We now have no need for this beautiful dual bed desiccant dryer and would like to find it a good home.
This DRI-AIR dryer is a dual-bed design which provides a constant supply of dry air to the hopper. While one bed is removing moisture from the air stream, the other bed is regenerated by heating it up to a high temperature. Once the regenerated bed cools down, the air valve switches the air stream and the regenerated bed is used for the process air. The saturated bed is then regenerated for a complete cycle.
The all-stainless hopper has double-wall jacketed and insulated construction and has a 150 pound capacity. The top loading hopper has a front inspection window and door which makes it very convenient to use. The easily removable air spreader cone promotes proper material flow to assure all the material is dried. Because of this design, there is no dried material at the bottom which needs to be fed out before operating.
