THE ULTIMATECOMPACT, CLEANDESICCANT WHEEL DRYING SOLUTION-1

MICROWHEEL DEHUMIDIFYING DRYERS THE ULTIMATE COMPACT, CLEAN DESICCANT WHEEL DRYING SOLUTION Milacron’s new MicroWheel dryer is the perfect solution for processes that don’t need the capacity of a large dryer and hopper, but still need the efficiency and reliability of Milacron’s desiccant wheel drying technology. As the smallest and most compact dryer of its type on the market today, Milacron now offers this perfect option for applications requiring a small and efficient dryer/hopper combination. Designed with the medical industry in mind, this dryer features stainless construction, clean operation, and a compact footprint. NEW WHEEL DRYING TECHNOLOGY IN A MICRO PACKAGE Previously, small drying jobs would require a dryer and hopper that were oversized for the processing machine, using excess energy and wasting material or hopper space. Some small drying solutions were previously offered only with twintower drying or compressed air. Milacron’s continued success with reliable desiccant wheel drying led to this new, better solution. In comparison with twin-tower drying, the MicroWheel dryer can provide 40% energy savings. Application flexibility, less dust, energy-efficient The MicroWheel dryer features a four-stage circuit for lower, and adjustable dewpoint. Each dryer can be configured with a hopper sized to best fit your application. The MW1 models are available with 0.2 - 1.0 ft3 {6 - 30 l} hoppers. The MW2 models are available with 1.0 - 1.75 ft3 {30 - 60 l} hoppers. Built-in intelligence to protect your material Designed for flexibility, the MicroWheel can be used with a large variety of materials, with a delivery air temperature range of 131 - 356°F {55 - 180° C}. The delivery air blower automatically adjusts airflow based on application throughput, which saves energy and makes drying more efficient. In addition to being more energy-efficient than compressed air and twin-tower dryers, the MicroWheel does not create the dust that twin-tower desiccant beads produce. This makes the MicroWheel perfect for medical and applications that require clean operation. Easy setup with built-in material database Changing from one mold or production setup to another is quick and easy. The MicroWheel has a built in material database. Simply select the material type from the list, set your desired rate, and the dryer performs all the necessary calculations for optimum dryer settings. In addition to the up to 30 pre-set materials, user material settings can be saved as well. All MicroWheel dryers now come programmed with Smart Mode, which protects your material and drying process. When activated, Smart Mode automatically adjusts the process air flow to protect resin from over drying, and to increase drying efficiency. This is accomplished by maintaining a constant delta temperature for the return air temperature. It’s like cruise control for your dryer. The MW Series requires no cooling water or compressed air. Gaining access to the interior of the dryer is quick. Filters are easily maintained and the reliable gear drive of the desiccant rotor is maintena
