continuousconstructionmedical

Overview
Conair’s MedLine® MicroWheel is a compact desiccant wheel dryer integrated with a hopper, engineered for medical and precision molding applications. It features stainless construction and cleanroom-ready elements, providing desiccant wheel performance in a small footprint for processors who need tight moisture control without external utilities.

Key features

• Advanced Drying Control
  • Built-in material database for simplified changeover: select material, set rate, dryer calculates process parameters and saves user settings
  • Smart Mode: adjusts process airflow to prevent resin overdrying and maintain a constant delta temperature for return air
  • Clear status display: drying temperature, dewpoint, airflow, operation status
  • Red LED alarm indicator and available remote control kit
• Desiccant Wheel
  • Honeycomb desiccant media for clean, uniform, spike-free drying
  • Gear-driven rotation — no belts or chains
  • Complete process with regeneration and cooling stages
  • Low required airflow matched automatically to throughput
  • High energy efficiency and low noise
• Cabinet and Installation
  • Stainless construction suitable for medical production and clean environments
  • Single-phase electrical connection; no water or compressed air required
  • Compact hopper-mounted package with easy maintenance access
  • Designed for precision molders and medical manufacturing

Frequently Asked Questions (selected)

• Application flexibility and lower dust generation compared with twin-tower bead systems: delivery air temperature range 131–356°F (55–180°C). The delivery blower automatically adjusts airflow based on throughput to save energy and improve efficiency.
• Fast setup and repeatability: up to 30 pre-set materials in the database and user material saving for rapid changeover between molds or production runs.
• Material protection through built-in intelligence: Smart Mode maintains a constant delta temperature on return air to protect resin from overdrying.

Options

• Loader adapter (compatible with Conair TLM or TLR Tube Loaders)
• Network connection kit (RS485 Modbus serial communications)
• Weekly timer kit for scheduled auto start/stop
• Filter check kit to monitor process air filter condition
• Stainless drain port/throat adapter with purge port and mounting base
