1.3 Explanation of terms
This training manual uses certain terms and desig-
nations repeatedly. These frequently used terms
are defined here for your convenience:
Unit
The term "unit" can be used for a single device, a
unit, a machine, and an entire system.
User
The user is the person who is using the unit inde-
pendently or under the supervision of another.
Operator
The unit operator is the person responsible for all
processes (e.g. production supervisor, building
supervisor, etc.). The operator directs the users to
perform a task on the unit.
SOPs
The standard operating procedure (not to be
confused with this operation manual) describes
how several units, processes or production pro-
cesses work together. The unit operator is respon-
sible for drafting the SOP.
Lead user
If several users are working on one unit, the lead
user coordinates the processes. The operator must
appoint the lead user.
Qualified personnel
Qualified personnel includes persons who, due to
training, are qualified to expertly perform work.
Segment wheel dryer
The drying wheel is divided into 36 chambers,
during operation most of the chambers are in the
dehumidification. The drying wheel rotates clock-
wise at a speed of about one turn per hour. The
return air is dehumidified, the Kstrolith 4 AK is
regenerated and cooled down to resume moisture
in the next step.




Good english language skills are assu-
med.
Every person responsible for any activity
on this unit must read and use this
training manual.

3 Installation Notes
To prevent damage to machines, systems and
injury to people, only people authorized to perform
installation and start-up tasks should do so.
These installation notes assume
knowledge of accident prevention rules,
operating conditions, and safety regula-
tions and their implementation.
These isntallation notes assume electrical
and mechanical skills gained as a result of
education, experience, and training.
Make sure that people performing these tasks
have the appropriate skills.
Obey all safety rules when working with hoists.
Perform all installation tasks with the system in a
depressurized, powered-down state.
Our trained installers would be glad to assist you
with these tasks.
3.1 Transport and preparing for
assembly
The system and ist accessories are delivered on
pallets. Use only appropirate equipment to move
the paletts (e.g., forklift, crane, etc.).
Only qualified personnel may operate
transport or lift devices.
All metal parts are removed from the unit before it
is shipped. Despite our best efforts, metal parts
may fall back into the unit during transport, or
because of other ciricumstances.
Before the unit is started the first time,
make sure that the unit is free of all metal
parts and packaging.
The unit has a protective film on it to protect it
during transport and installation.
Remove all protective film before operat-
ing the unit for the first time.
3.2 Requirements for installation
area
Run the unit ONLY in closed, dry spaces.
Pay special attention to the load rating of
the installation area, especially if the unit is
being installed on a platform!
The floors around the machine (in the
building) must not present a stumbling
hazard; they must be level, easy to clean,
non-slip surfaces.
Make sure that all parts of the unit remain
easily accessible for maintenance and re-
pair work.
The temperature at the installation area should be
above +5C, but may not exceed a maximum
temperature of 40C. Remember that the unit will
emit additional heat and moisture at the installation
location. Make sure the area has sufficient ventila-
tion. Other temperature limits apply only to special
models equipped with an air-conditioned switch
carbinet.
3.3 Electrical connections
Comply with your local energy supplier's regula-
tions.
Only Wittmann service technicians, or qualified
personnel authorized by Wittmann, may set up and
assign the electrical connections.
Danger! High Voltage!
You must equip the unit with a main fuse
that will interrupt the power supply to the
unit.
For safety reasons, the ground wire connection
should be checked especially.
Install the power supply a safe distance away from
hot parts.
Lay all cords for the unit such that other
electrical devices cannot cause any dis-
ruptions. Be especially sure to separate
control lines and data transmission cords
from power cords.
For three-phase units check the direction
of rotation. The unit uses a right-hand field
of rotation.
The entire unit will have to be specially grounded if
you work with materials that cause strong electro-
static discharges as they are conveyed.
Cut all power to the unit before performing any
work on it. This is the most effective way to prevent
electrical accidents.
If work on the electrical system remains
uncompleted for some reason, make sure
the unit cannot be accidentally put into op-
eration.
Check all electrical connections and
threaded connections regularly to ensure
they are tight.











Drymax_ATON_F_EN_V1_3 / 28.03.12 Page 7 of 44

3.4 Safety temperature limiter on
heating units
The safety temperature limiter triggers at a tem-
perature above 400C (752F), and the unit
switches off. If the 3 minutes waiting time for
shutdown is not observed, and the temperature is
too high, it also trips the safety temperature limiter.
To return to operation, the safety temperature
limiter must be reset with the reset button.
3.5 Installing an extraction system
for the regeneration waste air
Harmful gases, which ware discharged in-
to the environment especially by way of the
regeneration waste air of the drying air
generator, develop when some kinds of
plastics are dried. Ask your material manu-
facturer in this regard. In this case, a ex-
traction system of the regeneration air
must be present.
Installing an extraction system is also
practical to avoid temperatures being
exceeded at the place of installation.
When installing an extraction system
please note that the waste air may be very
moist. This can lead to the formation of
condensate which must on no account
reenter the drying air generator. The ex-
traction system must not change the air
throughput of the drying air generator, es-
pecially of the regeneration.












3.6 Connecting the return air cooler
(optional)
The return air cooler is preferably connected to a
cooling water system with supply and return. The
cooling water network must be designed to suit the
entire cooling capacity.
The return air cooler is always required if
the return air temperature permanently ex-
ceeds 85C or 185F.
The return air cooler increases the efficiency of the
drying agent (desiccant), so that a return air cooler
may be practical even with lower return air tem-
perature.
3.7 Installation of the integrated
BS/6 - system
To prevent damage to machines, systems and
injury to people, only people authorized to perform
installation and start-up tasks should do so.
The MASTER loader of the BS/6 loading system
should be located on the hopper closest to the dry-
air generator model DRYMAX.
Ensure that the BS/6 loader devices are configured
with the necessary jumpers (see training manual
FEEDMAX BS/6).
Our trained installers would be glad to assist you
with your tasks.

4 Description of DRYMAX opera-
tion
The description is written for the person who will
be using the unit (users). This description assumes
you are generally familiar with dry-air dryers. Make
sure that all users have appropriate knowledge
and skills.
4.1 Segment wheel dryer DRYMAX
ATON
The Segment wheel dryer provides the required
drying medium (process air) required for the drying
process. Preferably, the DRYMAX Aton is up for
special drying applications.
The DRYMAX consists essentially of two filters,
two blowers and the drying wheel.
Optinal a dew point measuring device is available.
The measured value is indicated and can be
recorded for quality assurance.

7 preheating 8 process air
9 regeneration - 10 cooling air
heater
11 cooler 12 regeneration
13 regeneration - 14 regeneration -
air blower
15 regeneration filter

The air from the hopper is put into the dryer via the
return air filter (3). Through the blower (4) the
damp, cold air enters the drying wheel. It is dehu-
midified and through the process air (8), the air
flows back to the hopper heater, where the pro-
cess air (8) heated up to 130C / 266F (180C /
356F at high heat option) and will come back into
the hopper. Here, the warmed and dried air is
distributed by a conical air distributor optimally
routed through the hopper and the granulate is
dried. The rising moist air will return again to the
return air (2) and re-enters the circulation.
The drying wheel is divided into 36 chambers,
during operation most of the chambers are in the
dehumidification process. The drying wheel rotates
clockwise at a speed of about one turn per hour.
The return air is dehumidified, the Kstrolith 4 AK
regenerated and cooled down to resume moisture
in the next step.
In the regeneration process, the Kstrolith 4 AK,
which in the dehumidification process has taken up
the moisture in the air, is now also dried. The
regeneration filter (15) sucks ambient air through
the regeneration blower (14). The regeneration air
(13) passes through the middle of the drying wheel
and is thereby pre-heated (7) through the regener-
ation heater (9) The regeneration heater heats the
air up to 482F and dehumidifies the Kstrolith 4
AK in the regeneration area of the wheel. For the
regeneration waste air it is recommended to evac-
uate it outside or have volatile trap, because some
plastics can result in harmful vapors.
To prepare the Kstrolith 4 AK for dehumidification
it must be cooled down after regeneration. The
cooling air (10) is used and sent through some
cells of the drying wheel. The cooling air then
passes back into the return air.
4.2 Tower operation
In the tower mode the drying wheel is not turning
continuously. After a certain period of time, the
drying wheel is turned by several segements from
the dehumidification process to get into the regen-
eration process. The regeneration heater must not
be kept in continuous operation and allows for a
energy saving process.
If a dew point sensor is present, a delayed regen-
eration cycle can be started, depending on the
moisture.
The dew point sensor measures the moisture in
the process air.
4.3 MSF - Material saver function
The material saver function is available with drying
air generators DRYMAX with integrated process
heater and drying silo.

Active drying consumes energy. This physical fact
is utilised to protect the material from thermal
destruction.
A temperature sensor is installed in the return air
to register the energy consumption in the drying
silo. If no material is removed from the drying silo
the return air temperature will rise.
If the return air temperature rises to adjustable
threshold value 'MSF set', the DRYMAX lowers the
process air temperature to the temperature MSF
set plus 10C or 18F. Granulate drying is now
slowed down considerably while the material is
kept dry. If the return air temperature drops below
the temperatur MSF set less 10F or 18F for
instance through a transport cycle. DRYMAX
detects the drying demand and sets the prcess
temperature to the specified set value 'T set'.

The above graph explains the relationship. It
shows the time over the temperature. The red
upper curve shows the process air temperature,
the blue lower curve shows the return air tempera-
ture.
In practice the following procedure is recommend-
ed for setting the threshold value 'MSF set'. Initially
set the threshold value 'MSF set' to maximum
(85C or 185F). Run the device under normal
production conditions (no machine stop-page).
After approximatelx 2 hours of production a typical
return air temperature will have been established
(the return air temperature can be queried in the
Menu 5). Set the threshold value 'MSF set' approx-
imately 10C or 18F above the return air tempera-
ture.
4.4 Material conveying integrated
BS/6
A trouble-free operation of the FEEDMAX loaders
can only be guaranteed with the proper adjustment
of the material charge on the wand at the material
source. Please also refer to chapter "Setting of
material charge".
Please make sure that the load on the
material source is optimized!
4.4.1 Principal of material conveying
with integrated BS/6
The dry-air generator model DRYMAX integrated
BS/6 includes up to 6 loaders, which are connect-
ed to an integrated pump.

The pump T generates the vacuum for the convey-
ing of resin through wand L to loader SILO and
finally into drying hopper S. The conveying process
works with a time sequence.

The dry-air valve G selects the loader on the IMM
machine. The bypass-valve of the pump T is
closed and the suction box B is filled with dried
resin. Immediately afterwards, the dry-air valve G
is also closed and the air from the pump T conveys
the material to the IMM loader. If dosing is set, the
dosing valve is switched and the dry-air valve G
opens. Material B is conveyed until the end of the
T
L
SILO

T
IMM



Drymax_ATON_F_EN_V1_3 / 28.03.12 Page 10 of 44

conveying time. During this time, the vacuum valve
of the loader IMM is open.
If there is no material need for the IMM loader and
SILO loader, then the bypass valve of the pump T
is opened, and the dry-air valve G opens, to allow
the pump T to idle without load. After a delay time
of 3 minutes, the pump T will turn off.
4.4.1.1 Setting material charge
Set the material charge of the loader on the suc-
tion lines or suction box.
The material charge is the mixing ratio of
conveying air to conveying material.
To achieve a high conveying rate the material
charge must be maximised. The maximum convey-
ing rate is hgihly dependent on the characteristics
of the granulate (size, bulk weight, shape) and the
conveying line (length, number of bends, convey-
ing height).
The material charge is optimally set when
the granulate is conveyed freely flowing
without interruption.
Setting material charge on the suction
wand
Included with the device is a suction pipe (a).
Depending on the design of the suction pipe, air
adjustment is set by moving material hose up or
down (a), turning adjusting ring (b) or moving the
inner pipe on or out (c).

a) b) c)

Setting material charge on the suction
box (optional)
The suction box is equipped with one or several
suction connections.

For changing the material charge change the
suction connection in accordance with the direction
of the arrows. To increase the material charge
reposition the socket in the direction of +. If the
material charge is to be reduced, reposition the
socket in the direction of -. Secure the socket
position with the locking screw.


To change the material discharge of the controlled
vacuum take off box, adjust the stroke of the
cylinder. To increase the material discharge, move
the screw in the + direction. For reduction of the
material discharge, move the screw in the - direc-
tion.

4.5 SILMAX drying hopper
(ATON in combination with
SILMAX Compact)
The SILMAX consists of a drying hopper, a pro-
cess heater and a conical air distributor.
The dried process air is heated by the process
heater and fed into the drying hopper. In the drying
hopper, the hot air meets the moist, cold plastic
granulate and the granulate releases moisture.
The moisture is supplied via the exhaust air to the
DRYMAX, which prepares the process air for the
next cycle.
If a SILMAX compact is combined with a
DRYMAX Aton the functions of menu 1
and 2 are not available. But the special
functions of menu 1 are available.

5 Initial start-up
Make sure that the energy supply for the unit is
available. Check this:
- electrical connection and grounding of the
device
- cooling water inlet and cooling water outlet:
for the cooling of the return air filter. For
the High Heat option the filters should be
cooled with water. The water temperature
must not be warmer than 10 C.
- extraction system for the regeneration
waste air (if mounted)
- Integrated BS/6: Compressed air supply
(4 - 6 bar)
Make sure that all described tasks under
Chapter 3 "Installation Notes" are carried out
and the requirements for installation areas are
fulfilled.
Turn the device, without drying material
(granulate), on and set in in the desired drying
temperature.
Leave the device, without material, for 6 hours
on, to remove any moisture from the device.
After successful start-up, the device is ready
for operation and for drying granulate.
