This reduces the risk of resin degradation or thermal damage, especially for heat-sensitive materials making vacuum dryers ideal for drying heat-sensitive resins that cannot be dried at high temperatures. Vacuum dryers have also come into the mainstream recently because of their speed in drying and low cost of operation.

Infrared dryers are generally used in drying PET for sheet and some fiber applications. They tend to have a higher cost than a typical desiccant dryer but can be very competitive when doing both crystallizing and primary drying. The infrared heat penetrates well to the inside of the resin flake or pellet and drives the moisture out while crystallizing the resin at the same time. These dryers can shorten the drying crystallizing process start up from 6-10 hours to one hour.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b628e39 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b628e39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Membrane Dryers &amp; Compressed Air Dryers<\/h3><p>A compressed air resin dryer is a type of dryer used to remove moisture from plastic resin using compressed air. The dryer uses a combination of heat and compressed air to dry the resin. A membrane dryer is a type of compressed air dryer that uses a membrane to remove moisture and other contaminants from the air; however, it is easy to get confused about the differences between membrane dryers and compressed air dryers but when it comes to resin drying it is critical to understand the differences. Firstly, compressed air dryers typically reduce the dew point of the incoming air by only 10 to 20 degrees F. That means if the incoming air is at a 40-degree dew point, your plastic pellets will only see \u201cdrying air\u201d with a 20 or 30-degree dew point, despite the fact that resin manufacturers specify that most resins be dried by -40 degree dew point air. So in some geographic areas where it is typically humid, these compressed air dryers will not work very well at all. In climates that are typically dry in the winter but often humid during summer months, the compressed air dryer may work alright during the winter but have to be shut down during humid days in the Spring, Summer, and Fall.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-365eb90 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"365eb90\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99904e6 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"99904e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"365\" height=\"435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novatec.com\/knowledge-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/wdirfy-membrane-1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2998\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novatec.com\/knowledge-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/wdirfy-membrane-1.png 365w, https:\/\/www.novatec.com\/knowledge-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/wdirfy-membrane-1-252x300.png 252w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef496e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ef496e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Conversely, Membrane dryers, much like desiccant dryers, produce -40\u00b0 low dew point air for drying \u2013 year-round, regardless of humidity. The low dew point is achieved by drying high dew point compressed air with a hollow fiber membrane that separates the moisture from the airstream. These systems can provide similar economies to a desiccant dryer if equipped with the necessary flow. The membrane has an extremely long life and they have no moving parts making them very well-fitted for smaller injection molding applications.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74f403d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"74f403d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The other big difference is the comparison of operating costs. Plain compressed air dryers use about 3 times as much compressed air as membrane dryers with a built-in membrane. Even compressed air dryers with add-on membranes use about 2.5 times as much compressed air as membrane dryers with built-in membranes. You may save some money on the initial purchase of a compressed air dryer or one with an add-on membrane BUT your operating costs will be so much lower with the built-in membrane dryer that over a 10-year period, you will save tens of thousands of dollars to dry your plastic resins.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f73b0d elementor-button-info elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"5f73b0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.novatec.com\/membrane-compressed-air-and-nitrogen\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Learn More About Novatec Membrane Dryers<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7843b1b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7843b1b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ebc043 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5ebc043\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98cc1b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"98cc1b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Can I use a hot air dryer for nylon?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e90c20 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3e90c20\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>No. Hot-air dryers use heated ambient air and remove only surface moisture from condensation, which is enough for non-hygroscopic resins such as polyolefins, polystyrene and PVC.
