Energy Savings
Side-by-side testing of the vacuum dryer and a desiccant dryer shows reduced energy consumption of 70 – 85%. The key to the reduced energy consumption is that the vacuum dryer does not rely on desiccant. Maguire
Desiccant, once saturated, must be regenerated by a heating and cooling process so it will again be able to absorb moisture. All energy required to regenerate desiccant is lost to ambient.
Speed of Drying
Typically, the vacuum dryer will dry materials in one-sixth the time of a desiccant dryer. If your desiccant dryer drying time is 4 hours, the vacuum dryer will do the job in 40 minutes. The result is time-savings of 3 hours and 20 minutes every time you start up a dryer. This not only represents reduced energy cost, but could also represent 3 hours and 20 minutes of additional production time.
