ACM Series Dehumidifying Dryers
This manual provides instructions for installing and operating AEC
ACM30 and ACM60 membrane dryers. The number designation
represents air flow capacity. ACM30 models have a 30 cfm air
flow capacity, and ACM60 models have a 60 cfm capacity.
AEC membrane mini dryers are designed to generate heated,
dehumidified air at carefully controlled temperatures for use in
plastic drying systems. Drying systems are sized to meet the
specific requirements stated by the purchaser at the time of
purchase.
Moisture removal from hygroscopic (moisture attracting) plastic
pellets is an essential step in the manufacture of high-quality
plastic products.
AEC dehumidifying dryers are used to generate very low dew
point air heated to a controlled temperature for drying plastic
pellets and regrind.
The documents listed below are necessary for the operation, in-
stallation, and maintenance of AEC ACM30 through ACM60
dryers. Additional copies are available from AEC, Inc.
