Barwell RapidDry is a completely modular system ensuring that a drying solution can be designed to meet the specific requirements of a customers’ products and physical production facility.

Additional drying modules with internal conveyor rollers can be connected as and when necessary to increase the capacity of the oven.

The system also has an integral computer interface for operators to simply program settings according to their needs.

It is equally adept at drying mixed loads as it is with large loads of the same product.

The Barwell RapidDry effectively dries in hours what has traditionally taken days.

This is due to the very latest innovative and safe microwave technology utilized by the Barwell RapidDry.

The RapidDry system allows quick reaction to large order demand and will reduce product lead times enabling greater stock control. This results in improved customer service and the opportunity for commercial growth.

The advanced drying capability of the RapidDry intelligently heats product internally and on the surface rather just on the surface as is the case with traditional drying methods. This quickly drives the water to the surface where it is removed by air flowing around the products. This is drying by evaporation.

The RapidDry eliminates the risk of surface burning and produces superior quality and longer-lasting finished product, therefore reducing rejects as uniform and consistent drying is always achieved.

The speed of drying coupled with in-line processing enables producers to dramatically reduce the factory space allocated for drying and storage. It also means that stock handling and physical movement are minimised, resulting in reduced breakages and time spent moving from process to process. This allows for more efficient operational systems.

The Barwell RapidDry is ideally suited for drying in the ceramic industry.

• Newly-made moulds
• Wet moulds after de-moulding
• Conditioning filled moulds prior to de-moulding
• Piece drying

The Barwell RapidDry is also ideally suited for heating in the rubber industry.

• Preheating solid rubber blanks prior to being formed and cured in a down stroking rubber press – this approximately doubles the output of each rubber press
• Preheating slugs of rubber before they are placed in a rubber moulding press

The Barwell RapidDry can also be used in the agricultural, construction and infrastructure industries.

• Ideal in the processing and storage of crops, such as, wheat, as it helps to prevent rot, which occurs when stored above 26% moisture by weight
• Time-saving process for the seasoning of wood logs, by reducing the moisture reduction process from weeks to hours
• Also ideal for the above or wood used in construction and infrastructure e.g. railway sleepers
