Overview
A closed air loop, even in every tray
The CT-C hot air tray dryer uses a low noise, thermally stable axial flow fan and an automatic temperature control system. The whole air system is enclosed, which lifts heat efficiency from 3 to 7 percent on a traditional tray dryer to 35 to 45 percent. The highest is 50 percent.
It is the most commonly used convection chamber dryer.
Load
Trays of wet material are stacked on trolleys, and the trolleys are rolled into the chamber.
Circulate
The fan draws air through the heater. An air distributor spreads hot air evenly across every tray layer.
Unload
Most damp air returns to the fan and part is exhausted. When drying ends, open the door and pull out the trolleys.

Questions
Before you order
What is a tray dryer?
A tray dryer dries material on trays in batches. In the CT-C, trays of wet material are stacked on trolleys that roll into the chamber, and a fan draws air through the heater and spreads hot air evenly across every tray layer.
What is the purpose of a tray dryer?
To dry material in batches with even temperature. The CT-C holds the temperature difference under ±2 °C, and the enclosed air loop lifts heat efficiency to 35 to 45 percent, up to 50 percent, from 3 to 7 percent on a traditional tray dryer.
What is another name for a tray dryer?
The CT-C is a hot air circulation tray dryer. The page also calls it the most commonly used convection chamber dryer.
