The Vismec DryCube offers a cutting-edge solution for plastics drying, combining energy efficiency, precision, and flexibility. Utilising a rotor dryer with an integrated pneumatic conveying system, the DryCube ensures that technical plastics are consistently dried and conveyed in optimal conditions. The independent processes for drying and conveying hot materials in a closed loop maintain the stability of polymers, unaffected by external temperature and humidity variations. This advanced design also allows automatic parameter settings, continuously monitoring and adjusting operations to provide the best possible drying conditions while preventing over-drying.

Designed for adaptability, the DryCube is well-suited for use beside processing machines, making it an ideal choice for manufacturers seeking to optimise their production lines. With features like a 7” touchscreen display, smart energy-saving modes, and material protection systems, the DryCube not only enhances productivity but also reduces operational costs. Its seamless integration with external management systems further underscores its versatility, allowing remote control and real-time monitoring to meet the most demanding production needs.

The DryCube by Vismec offers several notable benefits for optimising industrial drying processes:

1. Energy Savings: Achieve up to 40% Energy Savings

Intelligent Monitoring and Automatic Adjustments: The DryCube leverages advanced monitoring systems to continuously assess the drying environment and material conditions. This real-time data enables the system to make precise adjustments to temperature, airflow, and drying duration. By tailoring the drying process to actual needs rather than using static settings, the DryCube reduces energy consumption.

Optimised Drying Cycles: The intelligent control system ensures that energy is used only when necessary, avoiding overuse. For instance, if a batch of material reaches the desired dryness sooner than expected, the system can shorten the drying time or lower the temperature, leading to significant energy savings.

Reduced Standby Energy Loss: The DryCube’s design minimises energy loss during standby periods. When the system is not actively drying materials, it conserves energy through efficient management of heating elements and airflow mechanisms.

2. Enhanced Material Protection: Prevent Over-Drying and Material Degradation

MPM Technology: The DryCube incorporates MPM (Material Protection Module) technology, which is designed to maintain optimal drying conditions specific to each material type. This helps in avoiding over-drying, which can compromise the material’s integrity and performance.

Consistent Quality Control: By preventing over-drying, the DryCube ensures that each batch of material retains its desired properties, leading to higher-quality output. This is particularly important for sensitive materials that can degrade if exposed to excessive heat or prolonged drying times.

Reduced Waste and Rework: Enhanced material protection leads to fewer defective batches and less waste. Materials that are dried correctly the first time require less reprocessing, which reduces overall material costs and production downtime.

3. Improved Process Efficiency: Independent Drying and Conveying System

Stable Material Handling: The DryCube features an independent drying and conveying system, which ensures that the drying process remains consistent regardless of external environmental conditions. This stability helps maintain uniformity in drying outcomes and reduces variability in material quality.

Reduced Contamination Risks: By separating the drying and conveying processes, the DryCube minimises the risk of contamination or cross-contamination between different materials or batches. This separation also prevents issues such as material clumping or uneven drying that can occur when the drying and conveying systems are not independently managed.

Enhanced Throughput: With its efficient and stable handling system, the DryCube can accommodate higher volumes of material without compromising on quality or efficiency. This leads to better overall productivity and reduced lead times for production.

1. Drying Temperatures Up to 180°C

The DryCube offers the capability to reach drying temperatures up to 180°C, accommodating a broad spectrum of materials with varying thermal requirements. This high temperature range is particularly beneficial for materials that need intense heat for effective drying, which can significantly reduce processing times and improve overall production efficiency. With precise temperature control, the DryCube ensures that materials are uniformly dried, avoiding overheating or underheating and maintaining high-quality output.

2. Adjustable Dew Point Down to -50°C

Featuring an adjustable dew point as low as -50°C, the DryCube excels in removing moisture from materials that require extremely low humidity levels for optimal drying. This capability allows for precise control over the drying environment, preventing issues such as condensation and ensuring that even the most moisture-sensitive materials are dried to perfection. The ability to customise the dew point according to material specifications enhances drying efficiency and helps preserve material quality.

3. Smart Mode for Energy-Efficient Operation

The DryCube’s Smart Mode leverages advanced algorithms to optimise the drying process by automatically adjusting key parameters such as temperature and airflow based on real-time data. This energy-efficient operation minimises energy consumption by ensuring that resources are used only when necessary, leading to significant cost savings and a reduced environmental impact. Smart Mode also simplifies the operator's role by automating adjustments, enhancing both efficiency and ease of use.

4. 7” Touchscreen Display with Intuitive User Interface

The 7” touchscreen display on the DryCube offers a user-friendly interface that makes controlling and monitoring the drying process straightforward and intuitive. The large, clear display provides comprehensive information at a glance, including real-time data on temperature, dew point, and system status. This easy-to-navigate interface allows operators to efficiently manage settings, customize drying parameters, and quickly respond to any issues, thereby enhancing overall operational efficiency.

5. MPM and SLS Systems for Material and Safety Protection

Equipped with Material Protection Module (MPM) and Safety and Loss Prevention System (SLS), the DryCube ensures both material integrity and operational safety. The MPM system protects materials from over-drying and degradation by maintaining optimal drying conditions, while the SLS system includes features such as over-temperature protection and safety alarms to prevent potential hazards. Together, these systems provide a comprehensive safety net, reducing risks and ensuring high-quality and safe operation.

6. Pneumatic Conveying with Brushless Blower and Cyclone Filter

The DryCube incorporates a pneumatic conveying system with a brushless blower and cyclone filter to ensure efficient and clean material handling. The brushless blower offers reliable performance with minimal maintenance requirements, while the cyclone filter captures dust and debris, maintaining a clean drying environment. This combination enhances the overall efficiency of material transport and filtration, contributing to smoother operation and reducing the likelihood of contamination in the drying process.
