The New Hopper Dryer

The new hopper dryer are said to save energy three ways. First is by shortening the drying process, using high-volume compressed air at startup. Second is by cutting back the compressed-air stream by 50% when operating temperature is reached. Third is by heating up fast with only 1 kw of power. To counteract the 400% rise in stainless-steel prices over the last two years, it has changed its hopper construction. It remains stainless steel on the inside but is powder-coated steel on the outside. The new hopper dryer comes with hopper volumes of 0.5 to 62 liters. Special versions are offered for polycarbonate CD/DVD production and for clean rooms.
