Drying after Cleaning or Rinsing

"Various cleaning agents are used in aqueous cleaning processes. Some processes require temperatures of up to 70°C. A growing number of companies seek for lower temperature cleaning opportunities both to reduce power costs and to comply with environmental principles. The lower the temperature of the products cleaned, the more difficult is the drying process stage. This is where Harter comes in", says Norbert Fessler, Director and contact person for the cleaning industry.

Harter has built up a reputation as problem solver in the drying field. In co-operation with the customer, series of tests are run in our in-house pilot plant station, drying parameters determined, designs developed and presented. This way, the cleaning system manufacturer can ensure successful drying, the customer is safe to obtain a reliable dryer and the cleaning system manufacturer has one problem less.

Our Airgenex®- dehumidification technology offers:

• Safe and efficient drying of the products cleaned
• Short drying times, higher productivity
• Gentle drying through variable temperature setting
• Surfaces free from staining or residues
• Reduced power and resulting operational cost
• Less moisture in the air of the production area, if a factor

We will be glad to include in the drying system an additional cooling module if desired or required for the specific process.

Do your pursue another goal? Is drying to become a building block of your advanced energy management scheme? Here's another interesting example for you:

Swapping a 180 kW electrical power hot air dryer for a 30 kW electrical power Airgenex® condensation dryer saves an annual 1,000 MWh.
