Application
Flexible predrying station or dryer for tiny material quantities
HELIOMAT® drying station is available with detachable drying containers in 0,5 – 50 liters size. The containers are hermetically sealed and can be docked to the drying station by slide system. After the drying time elapsed, the drying containes can be detached and transported to the production area by means of a trolley. Basing on the modular construction, the drying station is individually selectable. The option of
Micro (M) type with glass drying containers (0,5-5,0 liter) or Turbo (T) level with stainless steel
drying containers (15-50 liter) is possible. A combined module (MT) is also available.

Function
Equipment
Dew point measuring
Optionally HELIOMAT WINsystem dryers are equipped with an integrated precision dew point measuring device standardly controlling continuously the dry air quality up to -50°C, thus enabling an optimal drying result. This measuring system has proved to be without drift errors in long-time testing.
Material data base
All important polymer types are included in this data base. The dryer will be optimally adjusted to the selected polymer type. The polymer specific and flow rate based adjustment makes the drying precise and energy saving. It is, of course, possible to store also user-speficic polymers drying paramaters.
Overdrying protection
When the set drying time has passed, the system control reduces the drying temperature and the dry air volume flow to a safe level protecting the material against thermal damaging. The dryer unit protects the material until the next taking.
Energy efficiency
The WINsystem® dryers are spending as much compressed air and heating energy only as exactly necessary for the drying task by means of the HELIOS data base, which is optimally adjusting the dryer polymer type specifically, the HELIOS digital pneumatic with its high-precision dry air volume flow adjustment, the exact temperature control and the overdrying protection. This is why HELIOS is able to grant the energy efficiency.
Software for documentation
WINsystem®
dryer units can be interlinked via CAN-BUS. It is possible to program, control and document all the drying units from a PC or IPC touch panel by means of the 
software.
Week-timer
Every weekday and single docking station can be easily and individually programmed with the week-timer.
24h Service
Upon receipt of notice of failure and clarification of the actual situation with HELIOS service department
(Mo.-Th. 8.00 – 17 h, Friday 8.00 - 12 h)
the necessary spare part will be sent to the customer by UPS within 24 h.
No need for maintenance
WINsystem® dryers are generally maintenance-freey. Possibly requested spare parts can be easily replaced by the customers. Only the filters have to be replaced precautionary or if required.
