CDS Series Central Drying Systems

Product catalog summary

Overview: The CDS Central Drying System by AEC is designed to provide efficient drying solutions for various resins and colors using a single central dryer with multiple hoppers. It is energy-efficient, reduces material changeover times, and saves space, energy, and labor costs.

Standard Features:

Rugged construction and compact design.
Compatible with dryers ranging from 15-3000 cfm (25-5100 m3/hr) and drying hoppers of 0.85-9.0 cu. ft. (25-250 liters) or 12-30 cu. ft. (340-850 liters).
Available in 1-, 2-, or 3-hopper configurations for flexibility.
Includes delivery and return air manifold.

Optional Features:

Stainless steel drying hoppers of 12-30 cu. ft. (340-850 liters).
Dehumidifying dryers of 15-3000 cfm (25-5100 m3/hr).
Air heat booster and air booster for enhanced temperature control.
Material miser valve and purge and dry air conveying.
Bypass valve standard on systems with 4+ hoppers.

Benefits:

Facilitates quick mold changes by altering material conveying routes without emptying hoppers.
Reduces material inventory and moisture gain risks.
Enhances safety by relocating hoppers away from processing machines.

Technical Specifications:

System capacities range from 5 to 6,000 lbs./hr (2.27-2,722 kg/hr).
Cart configurations vary in hopper number and size, with dimensions provided for each model.

Key Components:

Air Heater: Maintains separate air temperatures for each hopper.
Isolation Valve: Allows individual hopper material changes while others remain operational.
Material Miser Valve: Balances airflow to prevent overdrying and save energy.
Manifolds: Modular design for easy connection and future expansion.

Contact Information: AEC has global headquarters in Schaumburg, IL, with additional locations in New Berlin, Warsaw, Suzhou, and India. Contact details are provided for each location.
