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.
Page 20
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 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. Portable type, which meas that dew-point monitor is separate from the machine, is convenient to test dew-point temperature of different machines.

5.3 Honeycomb-rotor 5.3.1 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...

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.
