EcoDry® Compound Dryer Economical, compact, energy-efficient induction-heating systems for drying water-based end compounds for a wide range of can ends. ■ Open-door interlock switches ■ Over- and under- temperature alarms and shut-downs ■ Non-product contact laser motion sensor with required redundant start signal ■ Front-panel start-up diagnostics ■ System over-temperature protection ■ Integral exhaust blower purges moist air from induction tube ■ Easy installation, all electronics housed ■ Small footprint dimensions ■ Hinge open lid for tooling access — fast and easy tooling changeover ■ Mounting holes for integration of rod cage work ■ Circuit boards include trouble-shooting LED indicators The Nordson EcoDry® Compound Dryer is specifically designed for smaller production lines with a wide range of can ends. Nordson dryers are designed specially for water- based end compounds using Nordson patented induction- heating technology. These dryers require only a fraction of the floor space of conventional dryers and are economical All Nordson dryers use reliable, solid-state components to provide controllable, even heating without water-cooling. Nordson Advanced Induction Nordson induction-drying technology heats only the can end, not the air around them. Conventional hot air heating systems heat the air surrounding the compound so the top surfaces dry first causing blistering as the trapped water inside the compound escapes. Induction heating allows compounds to dry from the metal out making the drying process faster ADVANCED INDUCTION Nordson dryers are ideal for both aluminum and steel ends. All Nordson induction dryers use reliable, solid-state components to provide controllable, even heating without water-cooling. A simple blower cools all electrical components.

EcoDry® Compound Dryer System Airflow 1 Air is taken into the base area 2 Pressurized air cools the coils 3 Warm air is ducted through 4 Heated air is ducted over the ends 5 Moisture-laden air is removed from induction tube with exhaust blower 6 Optional magnetic separator uses heated air to absorb residual moisture Simple, Automatic Operation The EcoDry compound dryer is controlled by a PID closed- loop temperature controller, which automatically controls the ends with minimal operator intervention. This provides consis- tent drying without ovens. During start-up, a PLC performs an...

EcoDry® Compound Dryer Safe, Consistent Operation The patented induction-heating method operates at frequencies well below 20 KHz. The lower frequency of the EcoDry dryer provides safe, controllable heating deep within the ends, providing fast, thorough drying. Magnetic Separator for Steel Ends An optional magnetic separator located at the dryer exit accelerates the drying of steel ends. Carefully calibrated, permanent magnetic arrays separate the ends while warm air is blown between them. Ends are heated safely in stick then separated. The warm air dries compounds quickly at the point...
