This functional description is addressed to the operators of the equipment.  
This functional description assumes general familiarity with drying equip-  
ment.  
»
It should be verified that the operators do indeed have the appropriate skills.  
Functional description 6-1  
 
STT 110 / STT 160  
6.1. General Information  
The dehumidified air dryers were developed for drying plastic granules. Due to their compact con-  
struction, they can be employed next to the processing machine (drying hopper on the processing  
machine) or with one or more drying hoppers as a movable facility (compact facility).  
The dryers work according to the dehumidified air principle, i.e., the air is not only heated but also  
dehumidified before it flows through the drying hopper.  
In this manner, plastic granules can be dried down to a very small residual moisture content.  
The drying temperature can be adjusted, if necessary, up to a maximum of +180 °C (356°F) (up-  
per limit). Due to the heat that is released during water absorption in the drying cells, the lower  
limit of the dehumidified air temperature is approx. +60 °C (140°F).  
The drying takes place continuously, i.e., there are no rest periods due to regeneration of the dry-  
ing agent.  
The dryer is rated for continuous operation.  
The dryer may only be put into operation if the drying hopper is filled.  
F
Functional description 6-2  
 
 
STT 110 / STT 160  
All function sequences are fully automatic.  
The dryer is equipped with two drying cells. One drying cell is part of the drying cycle; the other  
drying cell is regenerated simultaneously.  
Part of the dehumidified air is used for regenerating the moist drying cell. At the beginning of rege-  
neration, it is heated by the regeneration heater. After the end of the heating period, the drying cell  
is cooled off by means of dehumidified air. After the switch-over time is reached, the regenerated  
drying cell is included in the drying cycle, and the cycle starts again.

6.2. Drying Hopper (Optional)  
The material is dried in the drying hopper.  
The dehumidified air is conducted through  
the material in the drying hopper and takes  
up moisture. Drying hoppers must have the  
appropriate dimensions for their specific use  
so that the desired final moisture content is  
reached. When refilling a drying hopper, the  
material must first be dried completely before  
material can be taken out for the first time.  
If material is taken out continuously, there  
must also be a continual addition of material  
into the drying hopper (continuous drying  
process). New (moist) material is conducted  
into the upper opening of the drying hopper  
and slowly reaches the material outlet at the  
lower end. On its way from the upper to the  
lower end, the material is dried down to the fi-  
nal moisture content.  
In order to guarantee a continuous drying  
process, we recommend that you always  
keep the drying hopper filled completely.

STT 110 / STT 160  
6.2.1. Hopper Heater  
Each drying hopper has its own hopper heater. The temperature of the dehumidified air is adjus-  
ted by means of the thermo regulator. The setting range is from +60 - +180 °C. The current tempe-  
rature can be read off the digital display (= actual value).  
The thermo regulator is factory-programmed. Nevertheless, you have to  
set specific values which are dependent on the processed material.

6.3. Connection to a Pneumatic Conveying System (Optional)  
Your drying facility works best in combination  
with a pneumatic conveying system. In this  
way, your drying hopper will always be supp-  
lied with sufficient material.  
The facility will only take as much material as  
is required by the processing machines. The-  
refore, the drying result will always be the  
same.  
Sterling drying hoppers are equipped with a  
suitable flange for adding a Sterling pneuma-  
tic conveyor.  
A
Suction boxes with one or three suction tu-  
bes can be supplied as well (optional). These  
suction boxes are developped specifically for  
this type of hopper.  
The loading of the conveying line with materi-  
al is adjusted by closing or by opening of the  
control cover (A).  
Suction box  
6.4. Return Air Cooler (Optional)  
A return air cooler must be employed if the return air temperature is  
higher than +65 °C (149°F).  
F
A return air cooler improves the efficiency of the drying cells.  
The lower the return air temperature, the better the efficiency of the dry-  
ing cells.  
&
The return air cooler can be connected to a coolant circuit or to the water mains network.

8.1. Installation of the exhauster fan for regeneration of exhaust air  
When plastics are being dried that release harmful gases during the drying process, care must be  
taken that the regeneration exhaust air is disposed of in an environmentally sound way. At the  
same time the throughput of the regeneration blower must not be altered. It should be noted when  
assembling a disposal system (e.g. an exhauster system) that the regeneration exhaust air is very  
humid. Thus condensation may form, which must not under any circumstances return to the dryer.  
8.2. Grounding the equipment against electrostatic charging  
Considerable electrostatic charging may occur in the equipment during processing of the various  
materials. For this reason, all components must be sufficiently grounded, see grounding bolt  
dryer (A) and drying hopper (B).
