Characteristics
LARGE CAPACITY CENTRAL OR MACHINE-SIDE DRYING
TPDM019/0705
Conair’s Carousel dryers just got better. Dubbed the Carousel
Plus - everything about this new dryer is improved to help
you stay profitable in a dramatically more competitive world
market. The product improvements are an extension of the
legacy of the original, workhorse Carousel desiccant dryers.
Purchase this new dryer and you will find that you have
more control over drying dewpoint and temperature than ever
before, in a package that is simpler, smaller, lighter, more
energy efficient, easier to use and maintain than any other
dryer on the market today.
These large-sized dryers are designed
to be used as a central dryer and do
not have process heaters. A Hopper
Temperature Controller (HTC) at the
inlet to the drying hopper(s) is used for
heating the process air.
The Carousel Plus dryers use molecular
sieve desiccant that is bonded into a
fiberglass substrate and formed into
a continuously rotating wheel. The
result is rock steady drying temperatures
and dewpoint levels, critical for
processing moisture and temperature
sensitive material.
These units are capable of delivering
nominal throughput rates ranging from
600 to more than 5000 lb/hour.
The thermo-formed, impact resistant
ABS filter cover adds to the good looks
and space-saving design of the
Carousel Plus dryers.
■ Reduced energy costs
The desiccant wheel assembly heats and cools more easily than previous drying
technology saving you up to 35% on your energy bill. Fewer parts, lighter
structural mass, less to heat, therefore less wasted energy.
■ Maximum uptime, maximum reliability
With significantly reduced part count, easy access and less wear you can expect
many years of trouble-free operation. The weight of the desiccant assembly
has been reduced by 70%, the part count reduced by 90%, there are no
more indexing bed plates, no more cumbersome 4-way valves and no more
messy desiccant beads. Shift-after-shift this dryer will deliver the performance
you need to stay up and running.
■ Precise, adjustable dewpoint control
An industry first! The new dewpoint control option built into the microprocessor
control system allows you to select a particular dewpoint value, which the
control locks onto. The control then adjusts various dryer functions to precisely
hold the dewpoint selected, virtually eliminating any chance of overdrying expensive
material.

APPLICATION NOTES:
* The parameters of drying temperature and time may vary depending upon the type, grade and manufacturer of the material
being processed. Consult your material supplier for their precise recommendations.
† Unit of measurement for bulk density is lb/ft3. Bulk density listed is the nominal weight for typicalpellets. The bulk density
may vary somewhat depending upon the size and shape of the pellets. The bulk density of regrind may vary widely depending
upon the size and the shape of the flake. Be sure to consider the bulk density of the material when selecting the capacity
of the drying hopper and the drying time desired.
‡ Throughputs will vary by type of material. Consult Conair about throughput for materials that are not listed here.
§ A dryer with an aftercooler and insulated hose is recommended for applications requiring drying temperatures above 240°F
{116°C}.
