Motan LUXOR CA dryers: Efficient and cost-effective

Efficient, accurate material drying is a crucial element in the processing of high grade engineering plastics to ensure impeccable product quality.

Motan's fully insulated LUXOR CA compressed air dryer range is a cost effective solution for highly efficient continuous drying of all types of plastics pellets with material throughputs up to 20 kg/h. These versatile and compact press-side dryers can be mounted directly on the throat of the processing machine or on an adjacent mobile support frame, serving one or two machines.

The LUXOR CA dryer takes factory-supplied dehumidified compressed air which is expanded to atmospheric pressure. This produces dry process air with a very low dew-point - less than -40°C - which is then heated to the required drying temperature. No desiccant is required.

All models have microprocessor control and are equipped with thermostat and low air- flow safety switch to prevent overheating of material. Temperature control is accurate to ± 1°C and maximum drying temperature is 180°C. The hinged lid on each drying bin provides easy access and has a flange for fitting a Motan hopper loader for automatic material conveying. The cylindrical drying hopper is fully insulated to provide uniform drying and low energy consumption.
