They represent a shift from traditional dehumidifying dryers, which are often reliant on molecular sieves in pellet form, composed of at least 30% clay. These systems are prone to degradation over time, requiring frequent maintenance and eventual replacement.
The Rotor Wheel Dryer is a compact, efficient, and durable alternative. Instead of using clay-based molecular sieves, they utilise a pure molecular sieve applied to a synthetic substrate. This substrate is rolled into a cylinder, forming a honeycomb structure that facilitates uniform and efficient moisture absorption.
The operation of a Rotor Wheel Dryer involves three main sections: drying, regeneration, and cooling. The wheel, powered by a step motor, rotates, channelling the humid air from the material hopper through a return air filter. This air is dried in two stages before being returned to the drying hopper via a heating chamber, courtesy of a process blower.
Concurrently, a portion of the rotating wheel undergoes regeneration in a heat chamber with a separate regeneration blower. Lastly, a cooling section cools down part of the wheel before it re-enters the drying process.
This systematic rotation, regeneration, and cooling ensure the efficient operation of the dryer.
The Rotor Wheel Dryer range from Vismec comes with an array of advantages, making it a popular choice amongst various applications.

Additionally, our engineers can carry out preventative maintenance visits, a proactive approach aimed at improving your machinery’s performance and extending its lifespan. These visits are meticulously planned to avert unexpected equipment breakdowns.
You should use a rotor dryer when you need to dry hygroscopic materials – substances that readily attract water from their environment. It’s particularly beneficial for energy-conscious operations as it can save up to 40% energy consumption when compared to traditional twin tower desiccant dryers.
If you’re dealing with moisture-sensitive materials and wish to optimise energy efficiency, a rotor wheel dryer is a great choice.
A traditional dehumidifying dryer relies on clay-based molecular sieves that degrade over time, needing regular upkeep and replacement. In contrast, our Rotor Wheel Dryers offer a compact, efficient, and long-lasting solution. These employ a pure molecular sieve on a synthetic substrate, rolled into a cylinder to create a honeycomb structure for uniform and efficient moisture absorption. A protective steel cover further enhances its durability, assuring consistent performance over time.
Hence, the Rotor Wheel Dryer is not only more efficient but also requires less maintenance compared to traditional dryers.
