The Drying Monitor is the latest generation of technology created for analyzing drying
performance from a multi-zone, resistance temperature detector (RTD) probe installed in
the drying hopper. Embedded into the DC-C dryer control software, the Drying Monitor
is designed to provide early detection of poor drying conditions and provide alarms for
correcting problems. Up to 16 hoppers can be monitored.
Drying Monitor probes are supplied for any size or brand of drying hopper and are
installed through the lid of the hopper (or from the bottom of the hopper up) and extend
to the base of the air diffuser. Probe signals are then continuously fed back to the control
where each hopper’s temperature profile can be viewed, trended and used to determine if
proper drying is taking place according to required drying parameters.

The Drying Monitor is ideal for applications that require strict monitoring of the drying
process to meet product quality specifications. The DM can also aid in the prevention of
product rejects through early identification of potential drying problems.
The DM will alert the operator, through a passive alarm shown on the local hopper
control monitor that one of these common drying problems may exist:
• A change in the temperature profile within the drying hopper.
• Loss of air flow through the drying hopper.
• A reduction or loss of drying time at the selected and programmed drying temperature.
Note
: Drying Monitor is also provided as an independent control and probe set for dryers not
equipped with DC-C. This independent version is called the DM4-i. On the DM4-i version of
Drying Monitor, an independent TouchView control provides the operator interface. For more
information on the DM4-i version of the Drying Monitor, contact Conair.
