This means this process is always tied to the energy, i.e. the heat of the workpiece. Likewise, the quantity of the water introduced determines the effectiveness of the drying process. When the vacuum chamber is completely evacuated, there is little movement around the workpiece. This then requires intermediate ventilation and renewed evacuation.
As the air volume is minimal, air evacuation within the shortest time is possible. This means we can always achieve an excess of power of the vacuum pumps. This excess enables a repeated “intermediate ventilation” of the vacuum chamber or drying with permanent artificial leakage.
The KNOTH vacuum dryer provides the following benefits:
- Highly efficient drying
- Drying after so-called cold washing (up to 30°C)
- Connected load from 5 kW (nominal power)
- Virtually maintenance-free unit and suction system
- Highest technical availability
- No retooling times
- Automatic flushing of the vacuum dryer
- Design as inline concept, as gantry-loaded system or as special version with several loading and unloading options
- No icing over of workpieces
- Complete gas tightness
- Adjustable artificial leakage
- Maximum fresh air supply for effective condensate formation
- Standardised system
- Maximum workpiece sizes (standard): 450x450x450 mm
- Fast delivery times
