Compressed-Air Dryer for Low Throughputs
NPE2024: Line has output range from 1 to 15 pounds.
The MicroDryer Series (MD) from Dri-Air Industries is a line of sleek, compressed air dryers designed for very low throughputs. The series of dryers start with the MD-1 equipped with drying hoppers with a capacity of 1-3 lbs and range up to the MD-3 with the largest capacity of 15 lbs. Low dewpoints, -40°F and below, are assured as the dryer is equipped with a membrane and compressed air prefilter.
Built as a matched dryer/hopper combination, the fully stainless-steel construction and glass hopper is well suited for medical molding with low throughputs and/or high-cost resins. An optional adjustable fill sensor can be used with the standard full-length sight glass to vary the capacity of the hopper from 1 lb to 3 lbs.
The dryer is available to operate on 120 V or 230 V single-phase power and a 100 psi clean compressed air supply. For ease of use, the 4-in color touchscreen will easily guide the operator for temperature and alarm settings, and a 7-day timer for automatic start/stops.
The MD-1 is also available with options to make the system even more flexible and user friendly:
- -40°F dewpoint meter
- Adjustable fill sensor
- Integrated compressed air loader for loading drying hopper
- Feed throat adapter
- Remote dryer capabilities
