supply (60-90 psi) should be connected to the 1/8” NPT inlet.
7.0 HOPPER EXTENSIONS
If you ordered a hopper extension, it will be a bolt-on type. The extension will be installed at
the factory if the overall height of the unit fits into a standard height truck for shipping. If the
unit is too tall for the extension to be factory-mounted, it will be shipped in a separate
container and must be installed at the processor’s plant.
8.0 ADJUSTABLE DIFFUSER CONE POSITIONING
IMPORTANT FOR PROPER DRYING
We have found that processors can improve the efficiency of
their drying process by adjusting the position of the diffuser
cone as described below.
You are now ready to proceed to Dryer Setup.
See QuickCard attached to dryer.
Use bolts supplied to
mount the extension to the
top of the hopper.
Bolt top of hopper to the
extension –lift into place -
then bolt the extension to
the top of the hopper.
The diffuser cone should be placed in the
lower position (shown) when drying virgin
resin or resin with a low percentage of
regrind.
When drying resin with a high % of regrind,
spread the clip, raise the cone and place the
clip through the lower set of holes.
Clip through upper
set of holes for low

11.0 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The NWB-DC Series is designed to convey moisture laden resin from a source container, dry it,
and deliver it to the throat of a process machine.
11.1 Resin Drying
The NWB-DC NovaWheel Series dryer was engineered and designed to effectively remove
moisture (in the vapor state) from hygroscopic plastic resins. This process is accomplished by the
continuously rotating desiccant wheel and the three air streams (Process, Purge and
Regeneration). The Process return air is exposed to an adsorbing media (desiccant wheel) in a
sealed air stream, where the desiccant adsorbs the moisture from process air. After the desiccant
has adsorbed the moisture, it is exposed to a Regeneration air stream which has been pre-heated
to a temperature of about 380°F. (190°C). This causes the moisture to be driven out from the
desiccant and prepares it for more moisture adsorption. Now the desiccant media passes through
third air stream called purge air stream. Here the desiccant media is cooled down by some of the
process air before entering back into the process to provide for better performance. The three air
streams (process, regeneration and purge) are separated by special Teflon fabric coated silicon
seals. The process air and regeneration air is compressed by using regenerative blowers.
The dry air from the dryer is then heated to the desired drying temperature by an electric heater
located in the NWB-DC cabinet. The hot dry air enters the hopper at the bottom and removes
moisture vapor from the resin in the hopper. The air from the top of the hopper is returned to the
dryer, where it is filtered, passed through the desiccant wheel to remove moisture from the air
stream and cooled before the process blower sends the air back through the heater and into the
bottom of the hopper again in a continuous process.

NWB-DC IM 3 JAN 2014
11.2 Resin Conveying
A regenerative blower pulls resin from a bulk container through a pickup wand and flexible hose to
an appropriately-sized vacuum receiver where the material is fed into the drying hopper, as needed.
As the material passes through the drying hopper it is metered through a vacuum takeoff valve to a
machine mount vacuum receiver mounted on the process machine, thereby maintaining a constant
flow of dry material to the feed throat.

13.0 FUNCTION CONTROLS
The NWB-DC Series dryers come complete with the following controls:
13.1 Process Temperature Control (Drying Temperature)
The Temperature Control is a part of the NovaWheel NovaTouch PLC controller and controls the
process outlet temperature as per the set value. In addition, there is a process high temperature
limit thermostat that is provided for extra safety. (Refer to the controller section).
13.2 Regeneration Temperature Control
The regeneration temperature is controlled by the NovaTouch PLC controller. In addition, there is
a regeneration high temperature limit thermostat, which provides extra safety. The regeneration
temperature is set at about 380°F. (190°C) and should not be changed.
13.3 Process & Regeneration Air Filter Pressure Switches (PS)
The air pressure differential across the process filter and
the regeneration filter is monitored
and the NovaTouch display will alarm and show when a
filter needs to be cleaned or replaced.
These are factory set but often need to be adjusted in
the field once the customer loads resin in the hopper.
Access pressure switches through after removing the back panel from the dryer. Remove Phillips
screw that holds clear cover in place (Fig. 1) . Turn knob clockwise or counter-clockwise to either
increase or decrease
13.4 Process Air Dew Point Monitor
