The Drying Monitor consists of stainless steel, 6-zone, temperature probes installed in
drying hoppers that sense the specific temperature profile of the hoppers and compares
their profiles to the requirements needed for proper drying in a specific hopper for a spe-
cific material.
Interpretation of that temperature profile by the DM leads directly to predicting under or
over dried material, inadequate air flow, clogged filters, heater failure, excess throughput
for that hopper size, unresponsive loading, over capacity drying and many other condi-
tions that are likely to produce scrap and waste time, energy and material.
The DM will store all temperature readings and organize the data into logical groups for
review or downloading to a spreadsheet program for analysis. The DM has memory
capacity to store seven days of data for each hopper in the system.
Alarms are displayed on the local hopper control and also stored for future reference.
Pressing the Alarms button will take you to the alarm list.
