Shini Launches Modular Dryer SSMD-U

Share to:


Since today’s market changes rapidly, enterprises must timely meet the market demands of multi-species and multi-standard products which grows day by day. With advantages of composability, interchangeability and expandability, modular mechanical products are getting more and more popular among the manufacture. Shini smart modular dryer is based on the design principle of modularization. It’s capable of meeting the requirement of multi-species as well as recombination and expansion. 

Shini smart modular dryer SSMD consists of a dehumidifier and several hopper dryers. The dehumidifier is equipped with a molecular sieve honeycomb rotor which has the dew-point air lower than -40℃ to ensure effective dehumidifying and drying for plastic material. The hopper dryers adopt design of modularization with capacity ranging from 20L to 600L. The drying tanks can be combined according to the actual needs of customers. Each hopper dryer in the modular assembly is respectively equipped with a heater, a temperature controller with communication function and auto regulator of air volume. Therefore, all hopper dryers can work independently without interference to each other. 

SSMD adopts PLC & HMI control of SIEMENS whose humanized interface is easier to operate. The touch screen realizes to centrally control and monitor the working states and data of the dehumidifier and each hopper dryer. In addition, the temperature controller on each drying tank also can display temperature and be set independently. The outstanding feature of the control system is the application of the automatic air volume distribution control technology. The control system can calculate the required air volume for each hopper dryer according to the material type and throughput. With inverter, electric airflow valve and airflow sensor at each pipe system of the hopper dryer, it can precisely measure and adjust the airflow in each hopper dryer to the best operation conditions for each hopper dryer.



SSMD is suitable for centrally dehumidifying and drying multi types of plastic materials. It’s highly flexible in the production of small batch with a variety of materials. Compared with the traditional dryer whose airflow is fixed, SSMD not only can offer the best operation conditions but also reduces the energy consumption for the system.
