Desiccant Dryer Mobile , DDM

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Labotek's DDM series is a mobile desiccant dryer designed for continuous drying of free-flowing plastic raw materials in granulate form. It features a complete desiccant drying and integrated dry air conveying system, with a standard temperature range of 60 to 140ºC and a high-temperature model available up to 180ºC. The system ensures precise temperature control and achieves a final moisture content of less than 0.02%.

Energy Saving System
The Labotek Energy Saving System (LESS) is designed to save energy by adjusting the drying air temperature based on the return air temperature. This system prevents over-drying and automatically controls temperature adjustments.

Control System
The DDM is operated via a 6” color touch screen control, which is menu-driven and uses basic symbols for easy operation. It includes shortcuts for essential functions like drying temperature settings and timers.

Drying Process
The drying process involves a desiccant air blower circulating air through desiccant beds to achieve a dew point of -35°C. The air is heated and distributed in the drying hopper, where it removes moisture from the raw material.

Regeneration Process
The DDM dryer features two desiccant beds that alternate between drying and regeneration cycles. Regeneration involves heating ambient air to evaporate moisture from the desiccant bed, which is then expelled as water vapor.

Conveying System
Raw material is automatically fed into the machine hopper, with part of the blower air bypassed to an injector that conveys the dried material. The system is adjustable to accommodate different material sizes and shapes.

Technical Specifications
The DDM series includes models DDM 60, DDM 120, and DDM 180, each with specific power, air volume, and drying capacities. The system operates on a 3-phase power supply and does not require compressed air.

Options and Customization
The DDM can be customized with various options, such as double conveying, cyclone dust separation, and warning lamps, to optimize material processing.

Desiccant Dryer Mobile - DDM Introduction Labotek’s series of mobile desiccant dryers, DDM, is designed for the continuous drying of free-flowing plastic raw materials in granulate form. The DDM is available as a complete desiccant drying and integrated dry air conveying system to processing machine, based on proven, reliable & energy saving design. The standard temperature range is 60 to 140ºC with a preset deviation of +/- 2ºC. A HT (High Temperature) model is also available with a temperature range of 60 to 180ºC. Owing to the extremely accurate temperature control and a dew point of -35ºC,...

Drying The desiccant air blower (7) circulates the drying air in a closed system. The air is dried in one of the two desiccant beds (8) or (9), and the dew-point temperature is lowered to approx. -35°C. The dry air heating element (10) is used to heat the drying air to the required temperature before, via the air separator (6), it is distributed in the drying hopper DH (1). After the drying air has heated the raw material and transformed the moisture to water vapour, it is led back through the dust filter (11) to the blower (7). The humid air is cooled in the structural frame (12) of the machine...
