ACI’s innovative system allowing high velocity air to be delivered to the surface of high velocity products such as wire, cable, plastic and rubber extrusions.
Introduction
Removing water from cable travelling at high linear speeds can be a difficult task due to the way water forms a thin film completely around the cable.
ACI's unique drying system design allows high velocity air to be delivered very close to the surface of the product breaking the surface tension of the retained water and stripping it back off the cable.
Called the ‘DRI-Line Powerpack’, ACI’s innovative system achieves vastly superior drying efficiencies to both compressed air alternatives and other blower-driven solutions available to the industry today.
Key Benefits
Utilising high efficiency blowers, ACI’s DRI-Line Powerpack delivers warm (80 Deg. C / 176 Deg. F) clean, contaminant free air at constant volume and pressures to ensure the drying process is consistent and reliable. It also has the advantage of being ‘plug and play’ as it runs off a 230V, single phase supply. A version with a 110V supply will also be available shortly.
Benefits of DRI-Line Powerpack
Reduces operating costs by up to 10 times Improves finished product quality through consistent performance Minimises maintenance Reduces space requirement Reduces noise levels compared to compressed air systems
