THE
NEXT
GENERATION
IN MOBILE
DRYERS
Mobile Drying and
Conveying systems eliminate the need for
machine-mounted hoppers by placing all components on
a safe, convenient cart. Set-up, batch drying,
clean-out and maintenance can all take place without
tying up valuable process machine time, or climbing
on the machine. The MDCW system integrates an
efficient carousel PLUS dryer with a conveying
blower, dust collector and direct-feed vacuum
receiver to convey with dry air to the throat of a
processing machine. The new self-loading option adds
an integral hopper loader which allows the MDC to
load itself. If you don’t need dry-air conveying,
order a non-dry air conveying MDCW with dryer and
hopper, and add a self-contained vacuum loader.

PROVEN PERFORMANCE FOR LOW THROUGHPUTS |
|
These Carousel Plus MDCW models are small enough to
be used beside the machine. MDCW units feature true
closedloop drying and conveying technology to
eliminate moisture that can cause defects in parts.
You can dry at temperatures up to 375° F and at
throughput rates of 10 to more than 100 pounds per
hour. The Carousel Plus dryers use molecular sieve
desiccant that is bonded into a fiberglass substrate
and formed into a continuously rotating wheel. The
result is rock steady drying temperatures and
dewpoint levels, critical for processing moisture
and temperature sensitive material. The
thermo-formed, impact resistant ABS cover adds to
the good looks and space-saving design of the
Carousel Plus dryers. |
-
CLOSED-LOOP DRYING/CONVEYING
Each unit provides drying temperatures up to 375°
F, automatic desiccant regeneration and dewpoints
of -40°.
-
NO-DOWNTIME MATERIAL CHANGES
With a spare MDCW system, material changes are
fast. Roll one unit to the processing machine,
while another heats and pre-dries material for the
next run.
- MAXIMUM
UPTIME, MAXIMUM RELIABILITY
With significantly reduced part count, easy access
and less wear you can expect many years of
trouble-free operation. The weight of the
desiccant assembly has been reduced by 70%, the
part count reduced by 90%, there are no more
indexing bed plates, no more cumbersome 4-way
valves and no more messy desiccant beads.
Shift-after-shift this dryer will deliver the
performance you need to stay up and running.
- PRECISE,
ADJUSTABLE DEWPOINT CONTROL
An industry first! The new dewpoint control option
built into the microprocessor control system
allows you to select a particular dewpoint value,
which the control locks onto. The control then
adjusts various dryer functions to precisely hold
the dewpoint selected, virtually eliminating any
chance of overdrying expensive material.

How it
works
The core of the Carousel Plus Dryer is the Munters®
unique fluted desiccant rotor, which contains
molecular sieve desiccant. The molecular sieve has
been grown into the rotor's porous fiberglass
substrate, preventing the possibility of desiccant
break
 down
and dusting over time. The desiccant rotor revolves
slowly at the rate of 12 revolutions per hour
passing through three cycles with each revolution.
The
benefits
- The high airflow
across the surface area of the rotor produces a
resin-drying low dewpoint within 5 minutes of
start-up and offers multi-year media life with
virtually no maintenance.
- The continuously
revolving rotor provides rock steady temperature
and dewpoint control.
- The rotor
technology minimizes energy consumption by
reducing the structural mass, less structural mass
to heat means less energy wasted.

First, the dry air is
dehumidified in the adsorption cycle, capturing and
removing moisture from the drying air stream. |
 |
Next, the desiccant
passes into the high temperature regeneration cycle
where the adsorbed moisture is heated and purged out
of the desiccant to the atmosphere. |
 |
The desiccant is then
advanced to the post regeneration cooling cycle and
cooled with closed loop dry air. All Carousel Plus
dryers feature this unique closed loop cooling
technology to eliminate moisture that can cause
defects in parts. |

Identify the resin and
throughput rate. Use the chart below to quickly
select the correct dryer model for your throughput
rate. |
 |
 |
Multiply the suggested
drying time by your throughput rate to determine the
hopper size. Refer to Conair drying hopper
specifications, or contact a Conair representative
to determine the correct hopper for your
application. |
 |
Select the dryer model
and options to suit your application. Carousel Plus
models can be used for individual station or central
drying applications. A dryer with an aftercooler and
insulated hose is recommended for applications
requiring drying temperatures above 240°F {116°C}. |
