Nordson iDry® Series Induction Dryers Description The Nordson iDry Series Induction Dryers provide simple, efficient, and uniform drying of water-based end-sealing compounds applied to can ends. The dryers use solid-state induction heating to generate heat within the can ends and dry the sealing compound, at line speeds of up to 2,200 ends a minute.
14 Nordson iDry® Series Induction Dryers Dryer Components See Figure 6 and Figure 7. Table 3 Components and Descriptions Item Name Description Contains the induction coil, glass coil tube, auxiliary air heater, heater blower, and exhaust blower. The can ends travel through the glass tube and are heated by the induction coil.
16 Nordson iDry® Series Induction Dryers Theory of Operation See Figure 8 and Figure 9. The can ends move through a glass coil tube inside the coil tray. The tube is surrounded by the induction coil. As can ends enter the dryer, the motion sensor at the entrance signals the controller.
