DRI-AIR INDUSTRIES, INC. DRYER DESCRIPTION The ARID-X10B dryer is a fully portable dryer designed to dry hygroscopic resins quickly and efficiently. It is ideal for insert molders and laboritory applications, or where production rates are 10 lbs./hr or less. The ARID-X10B dryer is available in 110 volt and 230 volt models. The power requirements for the 110 volt model are a voltage range of 105-130v AC at 50/60 Hz.
DRI-AIR INDUSTRIES, INC. DRYER DESCRIPTION (Cont’d) amount of desiccant available for drying the process air stream, and because of the tower design, the dryer is able to regenerate the desiccant in the same time as our ARID-X series. This allows the dryer to operate in very high humidity conditions without affecting the process air dew point. In fact, this design produces dew point levels of –40° to -80° C for faster more complete drying of your material. Please see Airflow diagram on page 7.
DRI-AIR INDUSTRIES, INC. DRYER DESCRIPTION (Cont’d) any additional input by the operator. The board will automatically monitor and control the dryer’s operating parameters by timing the regeneration cycle as well as monitoring and controlling the regeneration heaters and dryer alarms. Display Board with Control Panel Display/touch Pad The Display Control Board works in conjunction with the PLC Control Board to control the dryer’s regeneration heaters by actuating solid state relays.
