detects the drying demand and sets the prcess
temperature to the specified set value 'T set'.

The pump T generates the vacuum for the convey-

finally into drying hopper S. The conveying process
works with a time sequence.

The above graph explains the relationship. It

upper curve shows the process air temperature,
the blue lower curve shows the return air tempera-

In practice the following procedure is recommend-
ed for setting the threshold value 'MSF set'. Initially
set the threshold value 'MSF set' to maximum
(85C or 185F). Run the device under normal

The material charge is the mixing ratio of
conveying air to conveying material.
To achieve a high conveying rate the material +
charge must be maximised. The maximum convey-

4.5 SILMAX drying hopper
(ATON in combination with
SILMAX Compact)
The SILMAX consists of a drying hopper, a pro-
cess heater and a conical air distributor.
The dried process air is heated by the process
heater and fed into the drying hopper. In the drying
hopper, the hot air meets the moist, cold plastic
granulate and the granulate releases moisture.
The moisture is supplied via the exhaust air to the
DRYMAX, which prepares the process air for the
next cycle.
If a SILMAX compact is combined with a
