What is a Desiccant Rotor Dehumidifier?

Desiccant Rotor Dehumidifier

The desiccant rotor dehumidifier is an important piece of equipment for dehumidifying and drying in plastic processing. This rotary-type honeycomb dehumidifier offers high dehumidifying performance for moisture removal from plastic resins. Its high efficiency ensures optimal moisture control, which is essential for maintaining quality of finished products and preventing defects in molded or extruded parts.

Working Principles

The Wensui VD dehumidifier is mainly used with a hopper dryer to provide effective dehumidifying and drying of hygroscopic plastic resins, such as PA, PC, PBT, and PET. The core component of the rotor dehumidifier is a desiccant wheel that rotates continuously. The design of the desiccant rotor dehumidifier is divided into three parts, dehumidifying zone, regeneration zone, and cooling zone.

It begins with the drying process phase. As the humid air passes through the wheel, the moisture is absorbed by the wheel. The rotating wheel features an open honeycomb design with a flat surface to remove moisture from the air for resin drying. Then it moves on to the regeneration or reactivation phase where the moisture is accumulated and captured by the wheel. The moisture then gets discharged and exhausted into the atmosphere. The last process is the cooling stage where the warm air cools down to the required temperature.

The Wensui VD dehumidifier series features 14 models with drying air capacity up to 4000 m3/h. Whether you are looking for rotor dehumidifier with small or large drying capacity, we have the right model for you. See technical specification below.

Machine Components

  • Rotor: It adopts a honeycomb-shaped wheel body, which has a strong adsorption capacity.
  • Sealing device: The entire surface of the unit is divided into three sectors: a dehumidifying zone, a regeneration zone, and a cooling zone.
  • I.D. temperature control system: used to accurately control the regeneration temperature to ensure a stable dehumidifying effect.
  • Over-temperature alarm and fault stop display function: ensure the safe operation of the equipment.

Drying Applications

There are many plastic materials that can be handled by the honeycomb rotor dehumidifier, as shown below:
