What Low Pressure Dryers will do for you
Our LPD (low pressure dryers) accelerate the polymer drying process by using a vacuum to lower the boiling point of water from 100 °C to 56 °C. The moisture is rapidly extracted from the heated material. Leaving it in a condition to be moulded or extruded.

Features
- Fully automatic with fail safe alarm as standard
- Three material canisters internally mounted on a carousel which enables a continuous drying cycle
- Compact dimensions reduce footprint on the shop floor when compared to equivalent desiccant dryers
- Operator friendly Control Panel with thumbwheels for setting drying temperature and cycle time
- Mobile design with easy access for cleaning
What are the advantages?
- Reduction in energy consumption of 70-80% when compared with other material drying methods
- Reduction in material drying times – typically a LPD will dry material in 1/6 of the time of a more traditional desiccant dryer
- Reduced maintenance costs when compared with a desiccant dryer
- Elimination of downtime incurred through material changes as the LPD dries product in batches
- 8-12 times less exposure to heat cycle dramatically reducing material degradation
- No excess material to re bag/decant at material changeover
Customers View
"To be able to accelerate the drying process in this way is of huge benefit to us. We were confident that Summit had specified the right kit for the job and we have not been disappointed"
Mark Rawet, Tubing Business Manager - Watson Marlow Bredel Pumps
"With the Low Pressure Dryer we have reduced our tool change times by an average of 2.5 hours and the bonus is that the dryer takes up far less space than conventional dryers. We are entirely happy with the results we are getting and would like to specify one for each of our machines as we continue to develop. I don't really know how we managed without it"
Simon Oliver, Managing Director - T-Zero
