 CONSOLIDATED
RESIN DRYING
HOPPER
SYSTEMS
Conair
ResinWorks systems offer a new level of manufacturing
efficiency. By consolidating resin handling and
pre-conditioning into a central area, material changes
can take place quickly, cleanly, and safely, away from
the processing machine. Simplified resin
dehumidification is the heart of the ResinWorks system,
where multiple hoppers are supplied on a common,
pre-plumbed, pre-wired sled, and connected to a
dehumidifying dryer to provide superior drying and
maximum productivity. Individual sleds can be connected
to form an efficient, centralized resin drying area
supplying large numbers of processing machines with a
wide array of dried resins.

HOPPER STANDS INCORPORATE HEAT AND AIR CONTROL |
ResinWorks central drying
systems are designed to solve real-world productivity
challenges. Energy and time saving features create an
efficient central drying system. Starting with
simplified shipping and installation, ResinWorks
continually improves your bottom line.
Supply and return
manifolds installed on the back of each sled carry
dehumidified air from your central dryer. Adjustable
regulator valves assure balanced air flow at each
hopper. Individual hoppers are easily isolated for clean
out by dual air valves opened and closed with a single
hand lever. This 3-position lever located beside the
temperature controller provides fool-proof 'On/Off'
operation of both heat and air. Three-phase disconnects
at each sled conveniently distribute power to all
hoppers.
Stainless steel drying
hoppers provide exceptional air distribution and
material mass flow. Removable air spreader cone and
extra-large access door minimize clean out time. Use the
hopper's extra-long sight glass with optional sensor
bracket and sensor kits to easily adjust and indicate
material level.
- Quick
clean hoppers
Located
within easy operator reach, each hopper includes the
industry's largest clean-out doors, a removable
cone, and smooth all-stainless steel
construction.
- Superior
mass flow
Design
assures that all material is evenly exposed to dry
air and heat. Funnel flow and material hang-up
points are eliminated for superior drying.
- 100%
insulated
From
the base of the cone, to the oversized door, to the
full body wrap, each hopper is designed to preserve
heat and save energy.
- Long
life tube heaters
Highly
accurate, compact 'tube' heaters are located at the
inlet of each hopper for superior temperature
control and minimal energy loss.
- Super
safe hopper control
Both
heat and air are turned on and off with the
exclusive ResinWorks control lever. Safe. Simple.
Foolproof.

| Specifications:
Depending upon
hopper requirements, ResinWorks drying systems may
be configured with single-hopper sleds,
multiple-hopper sleds or a combination of both.
|
Hoppers that are
24 inches in diameter and smaller may be
joined together onto a single sled and
shipped as unit, installed as a unit and
connected into your drying system as a
single unit (see Figure 1). This
consolidation greatly saves time and expense
and once connected to the proper central
drying unit, provides an optimum
dehumidification system for all of your
resins. Hoppers over 33 inches in diameter
are provided on their own individual floor
stands (sleds) and each is equipped with air
connections, heater, control, etc. (see
Figure 2).
An
operating philosophy where systems are
conceived, configured and designed to
make processors more competitive,
efficient, productive and profitable.
- Provides
full flexibility – any material
to any machine at any time.
- Ten
minute material changes –
pre-dried, pre-blended material
always ready.
- Clean,
neat processing – removes drying
and blending equipment from the
machine area.
- Convey
small batches from dryer or
blender to machine.
- Conveying
lines purged after every cycle.
- Minimizes
labor, energy, material and
inventory costs.

Use Figure 3 to
identify the available hopper combinations
that would be right for your operation, and
determine the overall width of each
multi-hopper sled. More specific dimensions
for hoppers can be found on the previous
page, in the specifications table.
ResinWorks,
drying hopper sleds, can accommodate up to
six drying hoppers, each sized specifically
for either multi machine, long run or single
machine, short run operations. The sled is
shipped with drying hoppers, heaters,
controls, dry air manifolds and purge valves
pre-assembled for easy installation.
