Improve Energy Efficiency in Industrial Dryers Through Preventive Maintenance
The 3 kEys
- Verify that all airflow dampers are functioning correctly ensures that heated air circulates efficiently, rather than escaping and wasting energy.
- Checking and recalibrating temperature and humidity sensors is critical for efficiency, as inaccurate readings can lead to overheating or prolonged drying times, both of which waste energy.
- Conducting infrared scans of electrical connections can help detect heat imbalances that indicate potential failure points or inefficiencies in the power supply system.
Industrial dryers are essential in manufacturing, food processing, textiles, and many other industries where moisture control is critical. But these machines are also among the most energy-intensive pieces of equipment in a facility.
When poorly maintained, dryers can consume excessive amounts of energy, increase operational costs, and reduce overall production efficiency...
