The new generation NW series NovaWheel desiccant wheel dryers provide the same performance as dual bed dryers but with less energy consumption and smaller footprint.

The energy-saving NOVATEC NovaWheel NWD series of desiccant wheel dryers replaces bulky desiccant towers and cumbersome air flow valves with a single, compact honeycomb cylinder, impregnated with a long-life desiccant. NOVATEC has replaced the marginal belts used by other manufacturers with a chain drive to ensure more uniform regeneration of the desiccant and reduced maintenance.
