EAC drying system

Energy-saving EAC material drying system

Together with Labotek A/S (Denmark), battenfeld-cincinnati has developed a new material drying technology which is designed to be used with the EAC pipe head concept from battenfeld-cincinnati. The drying system efficiently utilizes waste heat from the extrusion process.

All lines equipped with battenfeld-cincinnati helix II VSI-T pipe heads can be equipped with the Labotek EAC drying system.

Your advantages
  • Energy savings of up to 88 % can be achieved (see figure)
  • The drying System operates with two separate drying zones
  • Labotek's EAC drying System can adapt - without loss of power - to any and all operating modes of EAC without interfering in the process
  • The EAC drying system is a patent pending technology
Labotek offer
  • The EAC drying system is available in three standard programs for drying HD-PE with throughputs of up to 1,500, 2,000 & 2,500 kg/h.
