At NPE2024, Moretto showcased the OTX (Original Thermal eXchanger) drying hopper (photo). Developed in-house, the hopper features a patented internal geometry and unique thermodynamic properties that significantly enhance the drying process, offering a 33% reduction in drying time compared to traditional systems.

This innovation not only improves energy efficiency but also ensures uniform treatment of each pellet, setting a new standard in material processing, according to Moretto.

Complementing the OTX is the X COMB, a super-compact drying system that Moretto says excels in performance regardless of external conditions. The X COMB is fully electric (no compressed air required), and specifically designed for treating technical plastic materials.

The dryer is aimed to handle the rigorous demands of industries such as medical, optical and electronics.
