Piovan SpA, an auxiliary equipment maker based in Santa Maria di Sala, Italy, has developed a new line of large drying systems.
Available in 11 models, the DP dryers can be configured with single or multiple hoppers. They can dry from 880 pounds to 5,500 pounds of material an hour.
Innovations include:
* The absence of cooling water in both the process and regeneration circuits, which Piovan said represents significant savings of the heat load to the cooling systems and no extra costs for water piping.
* A regeneration heat recovery feature that allows recovery of 100 percent of the energy used for the regeneration process.
* The integration of resin-conveying systems into the dryer cabinet to deliver a compact package that is easy to install.
Piovan's North American headquarters is Piovan Canada Ltd. in Mississauga, Ontario.
