DryGuide Essential – Our new innovative drying solution

You’ve heard the news, now you’ve seen the name. We are pleased to introduce our latest drying machine…. the DryGuide Essential.

Over the last few months, you would have seen announcements from us, teasing information that we will be launching a brand-new drying machine at the PPMA Show 2024.

We’re now extremely excited to announce, the DryGuide Essential.

A baby brother, or sister, to our most popular drying machine ever, The DryGuide. The DryGuide Essential has been meticulously developed from the ground up, sharing no parts with its larger sibling.

However, do not fear, our key principle, and what sets us apart from our competitors, is of course our DryGuide Technology. This technology has carried over to our new machine, but with a twist.

So, you might be wondering, why Essential? What does this mean? Let us briefly take you through our core features & benefits and why they were so critical when we were developing the new dryer.

Efficiency –

Utilising our second new development for PPMA Show 2024, our most popular and efficient fan, the 587T has been condensed and engineered into a direct drive version. Reducing installed power to 11kW as well as being virtually maintenance free. The blower is also paired with a take on our award-winning Air-Minder controls found on our Mistral V dryer. With a Variable Frequency Drive, the blower will automatically turn on or off when there is production, further reducing energy consumption.

Economical –

Reduced installed power and less absorbed power, results in lower energy consump

tion to dry your containers. That isn’t where this machines economical credentials end, oh no, aimed as mid-range offering & geared towards production lines of <50,000 per hour, the DryGuide Essential has an attractive & competitive purchase price. As referenced above, the new blower design is virtually maintenance free too, therefore the total cost of ownership is reduced.

Effortless –

Drying should be effortless. Well, that’s our view. Our DryGuide technology “with a twist” fixes the angle of airflow in the optimum position. Guaranteed to dry packaging containers of all shapes and sizes, whilst being suitable for any application.  Another effortless benefit is, adjusting between container sizes, with air angles fixed, all that is required is a simple height and diameter adjustment. This is quick and easy, requiring no tools or change parts and with scales / markings for repeatable settings. Effortless indeed.

Ergonomic –

We have listened to our customers and therefore kept the machine operators at the forefront of our development discussions. Therefore, the DryGuide Essential has been ergonomically designed to meet our customer demands. One  of our key features of the original DryGuide was its compact designed gull wing doors, this was not lost on our engineers. For the new DryGuide Essential we have developed an ingenious brand-new sliding door design, ensuring it occupies a small footprint with its compact design, whilst meeting all customer stringent safety demands.

Easy –

Why make it hard when it can be easy? Designed with adjustable frame and top mounted blower, delivered preassembled and electrical wired, ensures the machine can be easily installed into any production line with ease.

Designed, manufactured and sold from our UK HQ, enquiring about our latest machine will be the easiest email you’ll send all week.

So, there is a brief introduction into our DryGuide Essential. There is so much more to explore about this machine, and we will release further details on its features and benefits in the coming weeks.

If you want to learn more about the machine, we strongly recommend attending the PPMA Show at the Birmingham NEC this September, where our DryGuide Essential will be making its global debut on the biggest stage (stand A92).
