Granule drying - Import export

Injection moulders for making very small parts are faced with the unique challenge of being able to dry just the right amount of material for their process. Operating in extremely critical production conditions, these smaller throughputs can present considerable problems. It is important to scale the drying to the size of the moulding machine. The LUXOR CA S 0.75 to 5 range of compressed air micro dryers is specifically designed for small material throughputs. The range comprises of a modular line of correctly sized drying equipment to help moulders meet the small tolerances without waste or contamination. These small dryers take factory supplied compressed air which is expanded to atmospheric pressure. This produces dry process air with a very low dew-point which is then heated to the required drying temperature. No desiccant is required.

LUXOR A series dryers with ETA-process® and ETA plus® energy saving technology are specifically designed for supplying dried plastic granulate for many different plastics processing applications. They have either two or three fully insulated stationary desiccant beds with separate process and regeneration blowers which provide consistently low dew-point air to the process, while reducing energy consumption. The advanced LUXOR A series consists of ten models with drying capacities from 80 to 2400 m3/h. Each advanced system dryer can be flexibly combined with all LUXORBIN A drying bins from 15 to 2400 litres. In addition, motan offers a range of extra-large drying bins with volumes from 3,000 to 13,000 litres. These are also available with gas heating. All motan system drying bins are made of stainless steel, are completely insulated, and have individual heating as well as temperature control.

LUXOR S dryers operate at maximum efficiency and with minimum operating maintenance. The opportunity to have multiple material bins connected to one dry air generator provides our customers with maximum flexibility and no interruption to production. Drying can continue while material is changed in any one bin, minimising loss of valuable production time during material changes. The compact LUXOR S series consists of five models with drying capacities from 40 to 160 m3/h. Each dry air generator can be flexibly combined with a combination of drying bins ranging in size from 15 to 600 litres.

The COMPACT swift dryers are designed with flexibility in mind. They offer an integrated solution, combining the drying and conveying of the raw material in one unit. The dryers are available in two versions and are each equipped with one drying bin of the size 80 or 150 litres and up to 2 hopper loaders with a capacity of 4 litres each. The COMPACT swift A dryer is provided with advanced functions such as dew point control and dry air conveying function with line purging. Thanks to a modern 7-inch colour display with touch screen, all conveying and drying functions can be shown and monitored in a user-friendly way. 16 user languages can easily be selected.

LUXOR HD hot air dryers offer the most effective way of conditioning moderately hygroscopic plastic granules for processing and removal of surface moisture. Pre-heating of raw materials stabilises the production parameters and reduces processing energy costs. motan‘s fully insulated LUXOR HD hot air dryers cover a performance range from 7 to 1100 kg per hour. The dryers can either be mounted directly on the throat of the processing machine (up to 150l) or on a support frame beside the machine.

Both the LUXOR E A and LUXOR EM A dryers with optional ETA plus® energy saving technology are specifically designed to supply consistently low dew-point air to one drying bin, while reducing energy consumption. The LUXOR E A dryer is designed for use with existing conveying systems or hopper loaders. Whereas the LUXOR EM A offers a machine dedicated solution with integrated dry air conveying for up to two processing machines and the drying bin. There are three sizes with drying bin capacities of 60, 100 and 150 litres. The LUXORnet controls utilise modern, flexible BUS-technology. As standard, the colour touch control manages the dry air generator, one drying bin and with the EM version, material conveying to one drying bin and two processing machines. The integration of dry-air conveying and material proportioning provides maximum flexibility and productivity.

Efficient, accurate material drying is a crucial element in the processing of engineering plastics to ensure impeccable product quality. LUXOR CA A series compressed air dryers with ETA­-process® and ETA plus® energy saving technology are specifically designed for supplying dried plastic granulate for many different plastics processing applications, with material throughputs up to 20 kg/h. Dryers can be mounted directly on the throat of the processing machine or on an adjacent support frame.

The new LUXOR swift 250 dry air generator offers the ideal price-performance ratio for standard applications in the drying of granulate. The LUXOR swift 250 has a dry air capacity of 250 m³/h. The dry air generator can either be operated with a single drying bin or combined with multiple preconfigured drying bins in your plant. The drying bins are available from 100l to 900l sizes. This gives you the maximum possible flexibility and an uninterrupted production flow. For more energy efficient drying, additional functions such as dew point control or return air cooling can be added. Versatile use Different drying bin sizes for different applications Thanks to motan’s automatic air regulation the drying process can be optimized. Different sizes of drying bins with integrated heating allow a wide range of applications with proven motan drying technology.

Drying Drying systems for granulates and powder Whether surface moisture, capillary moisture or crystal humidity – each product has its own requirements of the drying. The following applies: With Ebbecke Verfahrenstechnik AG your contract drying is in the best of hands, because we dry granulates and powder carefully according to the specific requirements. On request we can even develop new and innovative drying processes for you. System diversity as a basis for a perfect result With the selected drying process, our process engineers take into account for example the temperature sensitivity, resistance to ultraviolet radiation (infrared radiation), the surface structure and the capillary structure of the product which is to be dried. Of course, the differences in the output moisture content and the desired residual moisture must be included in the procedural evaluation of an efficient drying. However, not every drying system is suitable for every material which is to be dried. To get

The METRO SG HES range of single-phase material loaders enable processors to automate a key area of the production process cost effectively, bringing significant benefits for process management. Plastic granulate is conveyed quickly and cleanly to a processing machine hopper, a drying bin or a day bin as needed. The material loader is equipped with its own control, so that it recognizes when material is needed and automatically starts conveying. This keeps machines running and avoids costly downtime while eliminating material wastage, keeping the workspace clean and safe. The METRO SG HES range can handle throughputs of 15 to 200 kg/h.

METRO SG HOS system material loaders can automate important areas of the production process cost-effectively and efficiently. Virgin and regrind material is conveyed quickly and cleanly to the hopper of a processing machine, a drying bin or a dosing and mixing unit. Material is delivered exactly when needed keeping machines running and avoiding costly downtime. Material wastage is eliminated and the work-space is kept clean and safe.

METRO G is the most comprehensive and flexible material loader range on the market. It combines the best of two established material loader ranges – colortronic and motan. Whether simple or highly complex, METRO G’s modular building block system will provide you with an individual solution tailored to your needs.

The BB 60 is a combination of two components: the blanketing unit BU 0.6 and the day bin DB 60. The 60 litre stainless steel bin is installed on a mobile frame and is equipped with a sight glass and suction box. Blanketing keeps granules dry for several days, resulting in more reliable production and energy savings because of low compressed air consumption. In addition, the bin contributes to a safer and cleaner workplace as material spillage from open 25kg bags is eliminated.
