AEC - Model ADC Series -Desiccant Wheel Dryers for Plastics Industry
The ADC Series desiccant wheel dryers are targeted at the plastics industry, offering robust and efficient dehumidifying capabilities. Designed to handle varying processing demands, these dryers are available in three different capacities, allowing for flexibility in both performance and configuration. The distinct advantage of desiccant wheel technology is its ability to consistently maintain low dew points, ensuring the removal of moisture efficiently during the drying process. This characteristic is particularly advantageous for plastic operations where moisture control is critical to the quality of the end product. The AD Series incorporates advanced control systems to optimize performance and energy usage, making them suitable for high-demand applications. Ultimately, these dryers represent a reliable solution for maintaining product integrity in complex industrial environments.
Since 1957, AEC has been the leader in drying equipment for the plastics processing industry. The ADC Series Desiccant Wheel Dryer leverages the AEC legacy and expertise to provide a system that is suited for most drying applications including extrusion, injection molding, and blow molding.
The ADC Series Dryer combines the efficiency of a wheel dryer with an integrated pneumatic conveying system, a receiver for the drying hopper, a receiver for the injection molding machine and all related accessories. The ADC Series is particularly suitable as an independent flexible dryer to be positioned next to the processing machine.
