Pyradia developed compact, modular, and versatile pilot web dryer that are specifically configured and adapted for laboratory environments. Our standard pilot dryer has multiple airflow configurations: floatation, through-air belt support, single slot impingement, dual-slot impingement, airfoil and impingement-IR combination. The ease and speed of reconfiguration, made possible by our single pin & clip nozzle holders, allows performing various types of coating trials each day, ensuring seamless experimentation and optimization in your lab.
Our standard pilot dryer sections are 5ft long, accommodating a web width of 12in, and can operate at temperatures up to 450°F. This robust design allows for thorough testing of diverse materials and formulations under controlled conditions, providing invaluable insights into drying performance.
Most Pyradia wide web dryers can be adapted to narrow web configuration, ideal for laboratory environment, allowing you to test your newly developed product structures, validating the drying model results prior to transferring on your production lines.
A pilot dryer is available at Pyradia for testing your product and validate which configuration is best suited for your application.
With over 50 years of experience, extensive process knowledge, drying modeling software and pilot drying equipment, Pyradia engineers will analyse your specifications and recommend the ideal dryer configuration for optimal process efficiency.
