Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the Rotor Wheel Dryer, a revolutionary drying technology based on absorbing wheel technology, offering flexibility for a wide range of applications from PETG to PET. It operates at processing temperatures from 55°C to 180°C with a single standard unit.
Specifications
The dryer features an adjustable flow rate with an integrated inverter in the processing blower, allowing for calibration based on throughput. It can be reconfigured for new molds or production using a built-in material database.
Features and Benefits
  • Low regeneration temperature of 180°C compared to the traditional 320°C.
  • More responsive with a 6-minute cycle time instead of 4 hours.
  • Throughput capacity up to 2,250 kg/hr.
  • No need for chilled water, compressed air, or desiccant beads.
  • Contains three times the amount of pure desiccant, offering 40% energy savings compared to traditional twin desiccant dryers.
Customer Testimonial
Simon Smith, UK Purchasing Manager at M&H Plastics, reports a 33% energy reduction with the Rotor Wheel Dryer compared to existing systems.
Product Range
Summit Systems offers a variety of models with different air flow and heating capacities, ranging from DO 25 to DO 250, with air flow capacities from 6 to 250 cm/h and heating requirements from 1.0 KW to 9.0 KW.
Technical Insights
The document highlights the inefficiency and cost of traditional desiccant beads, which are only 70% pure desiccant with a 30% clay binder. The Rotor Wheel Dryer eliminates these inefficiencies.
Additional Offerings
Summit Systems also provides gravimetric blenders, vacuum hopper loaders, material dryers, central material handling systems, and more.

Rotary wheel dryers-1

Drying Technology Rotor Wheel Dryers Wheel Dryer based on absorbing wheel technology From PETG to PET means maximum flexibility to a wide range of applications Processing temperature from 55 C° to 180 C° with one standard unit. Adjustable flow rate, all the processing blower has an integrated inverter which adjust the air flow and calibrate the amount of air based on your throughput. Can easily be reconfigurated for a new mold or a new production simply by using the built in material database; you only need to select the material that you are using and the consumption; all the rest it's perform by the dryer itself Low regeneration temperature of just 180 C 0 More responsive: 6 minute time cycle instead NO chilled water required 3 times the amount of pure desiccant 40% energy saving when compared with the most efficient traditional twin desiccant dryer We recently installed two of Summit's Rotor Wheel driers alongside our existing Twin bed desiccant driers. We have found through our own analysis, that as well as not requiring chilled water or compressed air, that Summit's Rotor Wheel uses Simon Smith, UK Purchasing Manager, M&H Plastics, Beccles We've got the right dryer for you...
