3DX Compressed Air Resin Dryer

3DX-12

3DX Modular Design

Download Brochure
Introduction

3DX series is a technologically advanced compressed air dryer developed specifically with the end-user in mind, and is ideally suited for small- to mid-volume throughputs. Its design is unique in the dryer industry and is based on a newly developed 3D compressed air principle (see below) that efficiently manages batch drying fluctuations caused by residual moisture.

The 3DX series is completely modular and comes in 38 standard base hopper sizes so the operator can easily adapt to different materials, shot weights, or changing production conditions. This flexible, economic solution allows the user to individualize their drying requirements using only a few base modules and doesn’t force the processor to decide on one size for their drying process.

The 3DX design consists of four main components: compressed air module, material hopper, dryer lid and hopper extension. This flexible design enables seamless integration with all standard hopper sizes and configurations.

Features
  • Dewpoint display with optional dewpoint sensor.
  • Process dewpoint air of -13 °F ( -85 °C, if required).
  • Large display enables reading distances of up to 40 feet.
  • Easy to use, intuitive joystick for the microprocessor controller.
  • Continuously variable automatic air temperature controller.
  • Adjustable, integrated material sensor.
  • Ring nozzle system for even air distribution with the hopper.
  • Removing the hopper cover is quick and easy.
  • Adjustable filling level sensor.
  • Programmable timer, batch drying, updates and analysis.
  • Easy installation, low maintenance and conserves energy.
The 3D Principle Advantage

The development of the 3D Principle was based on analyzing every drying factor and how it would effectively dry each individual resin pellet. The advantages include:

  • Completely isolates the material between the interior and exterior of the hopper by creating a temperature barrier for thermal decoupling.
  • An integrated ring-jet system ensures consistent temperature control and process air distribution in the hopper.
  • Sophisticated, adjustable sensors inside the material hopper ensure exact process monitoring and control of compressed airflow so every resin pellet is uniformly dehumidified.
  • A compressed air module, with display and control functions efficiently controls the material during the entire drying process. The compressed air module is attached to the material hopper using a centralized compressed air coupling.
  • Choose between two compressed air control modes, normal and expert. The expert mode is ideal for drying difficult materials like TPE, high temperature thermoplastics like PEEK, or filled materials.
  • The large, removable swiveling display is readable up to 50 ft., providing the operator with an optimal view so errors are minimized.
  • Can be equipped with infinitely variable, adjustable hopper sensors that are integrated into the control system of the dryer to reliably ensure exact process monitoring.
  • High-quality stainless steel components and PTFE parts make the 3DX dryer perfect for clean-room applications.
  • A hopper extension allows for quick, flexible material hopper changes to adjust the volume in the hopper to the production.
  • Simple construction enables easy accessibility and maintenance.
