Moretto’s X COMB mini dryer, which was unveiled at K 2022 in October, is a super-compact, all-electric dryer specifically designed for engineering resins. The honeycomb desiccant rotor with molecular sieves is made of 100% zeolite, one of the most efficient moisture absorbent in the market. The dryer’s “adaptive” feature is said to ensure a very gentle and consistent polymers treatment with dew point levels up to -52°C. Two variable-flow turbocompressors only supply the required airflow optimizing the energy consumption. The original OTX (Original Thermal eXchanger) hopper can reach efficiency levels which are unique in the drying equipment market.
X COMB was designed using advanced thermodynamic simulation software, a modern approach which helps reaching incredible product performances and at the same time shortens the product time-to-market. X COMB is equipped with an assisted lid and safety device, which enable the operator to carry out inspection and maintenance procedures in a very easy and safe manner.

The LCD touch screen is a standard built-in intelligence feature that only requires two parameters — the type of material and throughput — all the other parameters are automatically set. The interaction between the operator and the system is extremely easy thanks to the graphic user interface.
The dryer includes multiple connectivity options such as RS485, Modbus and USB for data downloading. It also can be connected to MOWIS, our supervision & management software which enables connectivity between different systems, processes, plants and even facilities.
