ULTRA Quick Drying
ULTRA dryers use vacuum as the main
method to dry versus air dew point. Drying MORE PRODUCTION TIME
by vacuum drops the boiling temperature
of water to 133°F / 56°C. This creates a
temperature and pressure differential that
means moisture is rapidly released from FASTER MATERIAL CHANGES
the material.
Typically, 1/6th of the drying time of
conventional desiccant dryers. MORE MACHINE UPTIME
This dramatically reduces the energy
required to DRY material.
Example:
Using the ULTRA, Polycarbonate can be dried from cold start-up in 30-40 minutes compared
to 3 hours in a desiccant dryer.
