Please read through this operation manual before using the machine to prevent damages of the machine or personal injuries. SDD series dehumidifying dryer combine dehumidifying and drying systems into a single unit. They have many applications in processing plastic materials, such as PA, PC, PBT, PET etc.
This improves drying efficiency and reduces energy consumption while maintain a steady drying effect. l The dehumidifying section of the SDD series features two coolers to ensure a low return air temperature and low dew-point. l Compact in size for ease of movement and space saving.

Shini (including employees and agents). Shini is exempted from liability for any costs, fees, claims and losses caused by reasons below: 1. Any careless or man-made installations, operation and maintenances upon machines without referring to the Manual prior to machine using.
2. Structure Characteristics and Working Principle 2.1 Working Principle Moisture hot air from drying hopper is blown into rotor after flowing through cooler. Moisture from the air is dried by rotor and is then adsorbed by regeneration heating air. Two strands of airflow function on the rotor. And with the rotation, moisture from the air is absorbed and expelled after absorbed regeneration air to form stable low dew-point air, which is dried and heated to the drying temperature and then is blown into material barrel to closed circle to dry material.
2.3 Why Choose SDD For these quality deficiencies as bubble, crazing, cracking, poor transparency are due to insufficient drying of plastic materials before molding, and the engineering plastics such as: PC, PA, PBT, PET, Nylon, etc. The hygroscopic materials used in the plastics industry such as PC, PA, PBT, PET, Nylon, etc.
2.4 Options l Built-in type, which meas that dew-point monitor is installed on the machine, is convenient to monitor dew-point temperature. Add "D" at the end of the model code. l Portable type, which meas that dew-point monitor is separate from the machine, is convenient to test dew-point temperature of different machines.
3. Installation Testing This series of models only could be applied in working environment with good ventilation. 3.1 Machine Location Picture 3-1: Installation Drawing Installation Notice: 1) The machine can only be installed in the vertical position, make sure there’s no pipeline, fixed structure and other object which may obstruct machine installation or cause items, human injuries above the selected location and adjacent areas.
3) Use independent power cable and ON/OFF switch. The cable's size should not smaller than those wired in the electrical requirement of control panel. 4) The power cable connection terminals should be tightened securely. 5) The machine requires a 3-phase 4-wire power source, connect the power lead (L1, L2, L3) to the live wires, and the earth (PE) to the ground.
Picture 3-3: Cooling Water Connection 3.4.1 Cooling Water Connection Connect through the cooling water before machine operation. For the efficiency, please follow below suggestions: 1) For easy maintenance and safety, install the ball valve at cooling water inlet and outlet. 2) Water pipe diameter should not less than the diameter of cooling water inlet and outlet.
3.4.2 Condensation Drainage Pipe During normal operation, it will generate condensation water. Connect the water pipe at drainage outlet to remove the condensation water is necessary. 1) Drainage pipe inner diameter should not less than the diameter of drainage outlet. 2) Drainage pipe should be long enough to approach the drainage channel, and be the hose.

Note: in order to prolong the life of honeycomb-rotor, never stop the machine by cutting down the main power supply directly, you should turn off the machine by pressing <Button of Switch> firstly. later operation ensures honeycomb-rotor continuously run for a delaying time to cool down the rotor. This rotating time always is 3 minutes.

6.3 Honeycomb-rotor 6.3.1 What is Honeycomb-rotor The main body of the honeycomb-rotor is a honeycomb, made by ceramic fibre and organic additives, sintered under high temperature with molecular sieve and silica gel, to be strongly bonded together and form a solid and hard surface. Not like common molecular sieve, which will produce dusts and fines to pollute raw materials when aging or become saturated requiring regular replacement, the moisture of return air is quickly absorbed by numerous tunnels before coming out...

7~10 applied to molecular valve). Greasy dirt should be put into a detergent solution with xylene. 15 minutes cleaning is suggested. c. Take the rotor out of the liquid and let it rest with the channels vertically for 5 minutes so the liquid can run out. d.
cooler fan and copper pipe should be dried with compressed air. 4) Make the cooler's upper and lower cover junction clean enough and smear the silica gel then fixed the covers with screws. 5) Put the cooler on the air at least 4 hours to make the silica gel drying enough then fix the cooler on the chiller and connect all pipes.
3) Remove the dew-point detector assembly from the machine, and mount it to another Φ28 hole on the controller. Install a dew-point monitor base on original hole, and mount two Teflon pipe connectors on the base. Via the copper pipe, one connector connects to the honeycomb and another connects to the dew-point detector assembly.
5) Insert the dew-point monitor into the hole on the panel and fasten it. Picture 6-10: Connection of Signal Wire 5) Connect signal wires of the transmitter and power lines of dew-point monitor with the according terminals.
