Carbonlite Dryers

Carbonlite Converting Equipment have been manufacturing dryers for different applications for many years and have built up a wealth of experience in this area. Whether the dryer is provided as a part of an overall scheme purchased from us, as a piece of equipment you are incorporating into your own plant or as a stand alone piece of equipment the Carbonlite Dryer range is manufactured to the same high quality standards as all of our other products.

These pictures cover just a few of the applications we have designed for. Contact us with details of your application and we will provide you with a specification to suit.

The number of drying zones is varied to suit the application. In some applications the zones also need to be kept apart to allow a dwell time between drying stages. Our designs are flexible enough to allow this.

Designs can be provided for drying solvent based coatings as well as aqueous based coatings.

Depending upon the application, drying can be provided to one side of the material or to both sides.



The dryer shown here is a conveyor-based unit which provides for drying to the underside as well as the top of the product to ensure a dry product with no distortion.

This dryer occupied a footprint approximately 9.5metres x 4.5 metres. It was designed to take products on trays, each carrying three products, across a conveyor width of 2.3 metres with a drying time approximately 5 minutes long. However, the design also lends itself to drying continuously produced strip product which can be supported on a belt as it moves through the dryer.





Our dryers can be provided to use a number of different fuels for the heaters/burners. Burners can be provided to fire on natural gas, oil or a combination of the two fuels and in some applications the air is heated with electrical heating elements.

Infra-red heaters are also suitable for certain applications. The unit shown here under construction in our factory was to dry both sides of a product running at 30 metres per minute. To minimise the factory floor space the dryer was constructed as a vertical tower.
