Function
Our dehumidifying dryers are designed to generate heated, dehumidified air at carefully
controlled temperatures for use in closed-loop plastic drying systems. Moisture removal from
hygroscopic (moisture attracting) plastic pellets is an essential step in the manufacture of high-
quality plastic products. Our dehumidifying dryers are used to generate very low dew point air
heated to a controlled temperature for drying plastic pellets and regrind.
