THE PERFECT SOLUTION; THE RIGHT PRICE

Simple, reliable, good looks and the right price - everything you’d expect from a Conair dryer. The Conair SlimLine Series of Compressed Air Dryers offer a cost-effective drying solution for any low throughput applications and most resins. 

The SlimLine is desiccant-free, moving parts are eliminated, energy consumption and maintenance costs are minimal. 

This is the perfect solution for efficient drying at an affordable price.

COMPACT DESIGN INSTALLS TO MACHINE THROAT
  
These small-sized, light-weight dryers are easy to handle and can be conveniently mounted onto the throat of your processing machine saving precious floor space. 

SlimLine dryers use a continuous supply of clean, dehumidified compressed air at 100 psi {6.9 bar} to dry material. The standard dryer produces a dewpoint of O° F {-18°C} which is sufficient for most drying applications. With the use of an optional membrane, process air can be generated with a dewpoint of -40°F {-40°C}. 

Units are capable of delivering nominal throughput rates ranging from 0.25 {0.11} to more than 50 lb/hour {23 kg/hour}. 

Operation of this dryer couldn’t be easier: adjust the regulator, flip the switch to on, set the process temperature and you’re drying.

How it works

  • Easy to use
    Installation is quick and easy. The on-board control is simple to learn - all functions are clearly identified right on the dryer label. You won’t even have to think about this dryer once you start processing.
     
  • No maintenance required
    No moving parts, no filters to contend with on standard units, no desiccant. This dryer will deliver the reliable performance you need.
     
  • Compact design
    This slim, attractive dryer mounts easily to the throat of your machine. No need to buy or mount a separate hopper, the hopper for the SlimLine is incorporated into the sturdy, yet light-weight design.
      
  • Saves you money 
    Energy efficient and low cost initial investment, the Conair SlimLine Series of Compressed Air Dryers are a fraction of the price of traditional dryers. Dryer start-up is intuitive.
The SlimLine Compressed Air Dryer uses clean, dehumidified compressed air* supplied from your plant’s compressed air system or a portable air compressor to produce hot, low dewpoint air that removes moisture from hygroscopic plastic materials. 

*Compressed air must meet specification requirement of 100 psi {6.9 bar} and 40°F {4°C} dewpoint and a residual oil content of less than 3mg/m3.

The benefits

  • You’ll save money. The initial investment in a compressed air dryer costs far less than conventional dryers. 
  • You won’t have to deal with desiccant. The use of desiccant has been eliminated. 
  • You’ll eliminate the hassle of up-keep maintenance. No moving parts, no desiccant, no filter on standard units. This dryer ends the need for a lengthy list of standard maintenance procedures.
Clean, dry air is expanded to low pressure during the process of passing through the air regulator. Expanding the air reduces the dewpoint. The regulator is also used to adjust the air flow to the green range on the pressure gauge.
Next, the air passes through an electric heater where its’ temperature is raised to the process setpoint temperature.
Then, the air is injected into the hopper where it passes over the pellets and reduces the final moisture content of the plastic material to acceptable processing levels. The air exhausts from the hopper into the atmosphere.
  
Options
Slide Gate 
Shuts off the material flow and isolates the dryer from the machine throat.
  Mounting Adapter with Drain 
Install the mounting adapter with drain to facilitate clean out or material changeovers.
  TLA Adapter for Loader Fill 
This adapter lets you mount a TLA Loader to fill the hopper, eliminating the need to hand fill the material. 

NOTE: Adapter shown is for models SL2.5 and 5. This adapter is not required for models SL15 and 25. The TLA Loader will not be used with model SL50, other loaders are available.

  Hand-fill lid 
If you choose not to use a loader on Models SL15, SL25 or SL50 purchase the hand-fill lid to prevent material contamination.
  Compressed Air Membrane 
This option is necessary when the compressed air supplied does not meet the 40°F {4°C} dewpoint. 

The membrane serves as a refrigerant air conditioner and reduces the dewpoint to the 40°F {4°C} dewpoint specification. The included filters aid in cleaning the compressed air.

Features
Loader fill or Hand-fill feature (model dependent)
  
Models SL2.5 and SL5 come standard with a hand-fill lid.
  
Models SL15, SL25 and SL50 come standard with an IB06 mounting interface for mounting a loader. 

The loader is sold separately. This unit is pictured with an Access AL Series Loader installed.

Simple, reliable control 
You’ll have all the functionality you need and not be burdened by an overly complicated control. Actual and setpoint drying temperatures are continuously displayed. Control functions are identified right on the label. Toggle between the percentage output of the heater (read only) and the high temperature alarm setpoint. Choose to view the temperature in fahrenheit or celsius.
