About This Webinar
In this presentation, Conair will discuss how desiccant is used along with heaters and blowers to reduce the moisture content within plastic resin. Matt Shope will talk about energy efficiency, dryer design and best practices for drying resin using a desiccant dryer. Conair will also discuss other non-desiccant drying technology including compressed air and vacuum.

Another key component of any drying system is the resin hopper. Conair will also explain the importance of hopper design, sizing, optimum capacity, insulation, temperature zones and energy efficiency, plus how to know if you're having drying issues within the hopper and how some hoppers leave a gaping hole in the drying process.

This presentation will also explain the most recent developments in drying technology from Conair.

This informative presentation is perfect for processors who utilize resin drying as part of their daily routine.
