The American firm Novatec, a specialist in material handling equipment for loading, drying and blending, has developed the rotating-wheel NovaWheel dryer as a simple and compact low cost alternative to conventional twin-bed dryers. This new drier that suits particularly well for heat-sensitive materials such as poly(ethylne terephthalate) (PET) allows to continuously put dry desiccant into service while regenerating saturated desiccant in the same cycle. Furthermore, it offers consistent dew-point performance and highly efficient cooling after regeneration.
