Carousel Plus Dryers
W Models 15, 25, 50, 75 and 100
 
THE NEXT GENERATION
IN POLYMER
DRYERS

Conair’s Carousel dryers just got better. Dubbed the Carousel Plus - everything about this new dryer is improved to help you stay profitable in a dramatically more competitive world market. The product improvements are an extension of the legacy of the original, workhorse Carousel desiccant dryers.

Purchase this new dryer and you will find that you have more control over drying dewpoint and temperature than ever before, in a package that is simpler, smaller, lighter, more energy efficient, easier to use and maintain than any other dryer on the market today.

FLOOR UNIT ON STURDY STEEL CASTERS
  
These small-sized dryers are small enough to be used beside the machine, yet powerful enough for central drying (models 50-100).

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.

These units are capable of delivering nominal throughput rates ranging from 10 to more than 100 lb/hour.

The thermo-formed, impact resistant ABS cover adds to the good looks and space-saving design of the Carousel Plus dryers. Models 15-200 are also available in Mobile Drying and Conveying (MDC) configurations.

  • REDUCED ENERGY COSTS
    The desiccant wheel assembly heats and cools more easily than previous drying technology saving you up to 35% on your energy bill. Fewer parts, lighter structural mass, less to heat, therefore less wasted energy.
     
  • 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}.
