HELIOMAT

dry air docking station

including the same hardware as used for Jetbox, the software is being adjusted to match to batches drying. The dryer
containers in sizes 0,5, 1,0, 2,5, 5, 8, 15, 26
and 50 litres can be docked to dry air supply blast pipe by means of sliding guides.

Dryer containers

of glass or stainless steel

The WINsystem dryer containers can be either attached to the HELIOMAT® by
means of sliding guide system or to the JETBOX by means of quick clamping fixture. The containers are available of
double-walled glass in sizes 0,5, 1,0, 2,5, 5,0, of stainless steel with isolation in sizes
8, 15, 26, 50, 75 and 150.

„The Original“

Since FAKUMA 1990, all the plastics industry worldwide is increasingly getting into the drying system consisting of removable dryer containers in sizes between 0,5 and 75 l combined with a dry air supply docking station. The system provides a benefit making accurately dried resin batches available on the feed zone of a plastics processing machine thus eliminating risk of overdrying or contamination, reducing energy charges and being fully maintenance-free. Chef’s suggestion: “Just trust in original” Benefit by 16 years experience, when producing thousands of sophisticated dryer units for batches drying or direct installation on plastics processing machine.

Material loader

compressed air or vacuum base

compressed air loaders for
1 component (HELIOJET)
1 component with automatic filter cleaning device AFR (HELIOSTAR)
2 components with automatic filter cleaning device AFR (HELIOMIX) alternatively, the vacuum loaders can be used for single controlled operating or integrated into a central conveying unit (HEROLIFT)

DryDoc.

central conveying control with documented drying process

Each one of JETBOX control unit or HELIOMAT® docking station disposes of a CAN-BUS-interface, up to 64 dryer units can be added to a central drying system. The DryDoc- Software enables to operate the dryers by remote control, controlling and recording the drying process data continuously.

Working Principle

Nowadays, commonly used fridge dried compressed air is available at pressures between 6 and 15 bars having dew point of 3°C in plastics processing industry. Once the air is decompressed to atmospheric pressure, the dew point would drop down to -20°C up to -28°C.

This dry air quality level is sophisticated for 95% of tasks in drying of thermoplastic materials in order to
achieve the necessary residual moisture prior to processing. By means of auxiliary equipments, the dew point can be dropped down to -60°C. Depending on the plastic resin type, approximately 1 to 2,5m³/h dry air is required for drying
of 1 kg/h.

The necessary drying time is, depending on the plastic resin type, between 2 and 6 hours. Thus, a precision drying system must be capable of only using the quantity of drying air required to meet exactly the drying task. Thanks to the patented technics, the HELIOS WINsystem® dryers can be preset precisely to meet exactly the range of drying performance.

Throughput fluctuations due interruptions of production, etc. are automatically compensated by the system within specified drying programs. Both of these features combined result in the lowest possible energy consumption . The drying air (compressed air) enters the heater through 3 to 5 valves with different diameters connected in parallel,which can be opened or closed individually resulting in the possibility of 8 to 32 different dry air flow rates. This enables a material-specific, highprecision volume flow control.
