amount of desiccant available for drying the
process air stream, and because of the tower
design, the dryer is able to regenerate the
desiccant in the same time as our ARID-X series.
This allows the dryer to operate in very high
humidity conditions without affecting the process
air dew point. In fact, this design produces dew
point levels of –40
°
to -80
°
C for faster more
complete drying of your material. Please see
Airflow diagram on page 7.
Material Hopper Requirements
The Arid-X10 dryer can be used with any
material hopper that is designed to allow proper
air flow. Hoppers that are equipped with a
material spreader cone and diffuser basket will
provide the best performance. To obtain optimal
drying performance, we recommend that you
utilize our uniquely designed material hoppers.
Dri-Air’s “all stainless” hopper design utilizes a
stainless steel inner shell surrounded by a
stainless steel jacketed insulation layer. The
easily removable stainless steel spreader cone/
diffuser basket assembly promotes proper
material flow to ensure that the material is dried
efficiently and no undried material is left at the
hopper bottom that needs to be fed out prior to
operating. You must ensure that your hopper is
kept filled, to ensure that you have sufficient time
to dry the material.
Dryer Controls
The Arid-X10 dryer is supplied with a factory
programmed ELC Control Module and a Digital
Temperature Controller.
ELC Control Module
The ELC Control Module controls the
regeneration cycle described in the previous
section. It has been factory programmed and
does not require any additional input by the
