ULTRA Dryers

The first ULTRA Low Energy Dryer for plastics.

Ultra-low kW energy usage – fast ROI and savings for a lifetime.

• Drying costs so low, it’s almost free
• Energy efficient unique vacuum drying technology
• Faster drying, faster start-ups, minimal maintenance

ULTRA Energy – Efficiency Comparison

• kW energy to HEAT raw material from ambient to required drying temperature is the same for all drying processes.
• kW energy to DRY raw material is where the difference occurs, comparing ULTRA dryers to all Desiccant dryers.

ULTRA Low Energy – Operating Cost Savings

• A process running at 220lb/h (100kg/h) can typically see a kW difference of 41 Watts/lb (92 Watts/kg) with ULTRA dryers versus generic desiccant dryer.
• This saves $6,500 annually at an example rate of 220lb/h (100kg/h) – whilst doing the exact same job.
• ULTRA delivers savings year on year for its full life cycle.

ULTRA Low Energy – Dynamic Software

• Temperature Sense Control – temperature is controlled efficiently with energy saver as standard.
• Heater and air flow are automatically regulated to ensure only the required amount of heat and air flow are used to bring material up to temperature.

ULTRA Quick Drying

• ULTRA dryers place materials under vacuum to dry rapidly, versus long exposure to desiccant hot dry air flow.
• Normally, ULTRA dries material 6 times faster than conventional desiccant dryers.
• ULTRA fast drying time provides quicker start-ups.

ULTRA Low Energy Components

• No regeneration process, no added energy used.
• ULTRA uses only one smaller blower and heater sized for smaller volumes and faster drying times.
• Compact heating hopper – less material in process, less energy used, easier cleaning.
• Minimal maintenance – no scheduled maintenance requirements and no consumables.

ULTRA Live Throughput Monitoring

• Load cells monitor the vacuum chamber and retention hopper and provide live materials usage data.
• Data allows the drying rate to efficiently follow and adjust according to the dryer consumption rate.
• ULTRA live data makes for ULTRA efficient drying.

ULTRA Fast Return on Investment 

• ULTRA dryers quickly pay-back in the short term and continue to provide energy reduction cost savings in the long term.
• Energy usage – one Desiccant day = one ULTRA week.
• Indirect benefits – increased productivity, reduced start-up scrap rates and reduced energy usage for the same time period.
