Novatec has reengineered it’s DryerGenie, a system that used sensors to measure resin moisture and coupled it with new features in its drying hopper to make the process of drying hygroscopic materials more efficient and less dependent on time-based recipes.
In the new, more rugged design, the resin-moisture analyzer is situated below the receiver and directly above the drying hopper. The moisture analyzer uses the capacitance of the resin to determine the starting moisture level entering the drying hopper.
