15 Application Photos Efficient aterial anagement The placement of the dryer and drying hoppers on a mezzanine above the gaylords and material supply bins guarantees the optimized usage of available space as well as shortest conveying distances for the filling of the drying hoppers. The perfect geometry of the drying hoppers and the discharge cone, which has been designed for uniform material flow, are perfectly suited for the drying of virgin and regrind material. Flexible and odular Construction The modular drying hopper series SILAX with separate tables enable a flexible combination for the respective drying demand. Even when the requirement changes over time the SILAX drying hoppers can be arranged differently and new hoppers can be added, as long as the dry air supply of the dryer series DRYAX is sufficiently sized. Optional level sensors in the FEEDAX vacuum loaders calculate and monitor by means of the WITTANN. IPC control system any excessive dried material demand in each drying hoppers and respond according to the users instructions. Intelligent Air Distribution The intelligent SmartFlow air distribution of each SILAX drying hopper adjusts the air supply to the actual material demand of the respective SILAX hopper. Thereby a high quantity of drying hoppers can be connected to a dryer and still guarantee an efficient and perfect drying process. 1
