In 2014 the evolution of ∑UREKA technology led to the PLUS system, featuring the innovative Moisture Meter Manager.
Thirteen years of studies have resulted in the most advanced drying system on the market, capable of reaching a reduction in consumption of up to 56%.
Features
EUREKA PLUS is composed by 4 elements:
X MAX
OTX
FLOWMATIK
MOISTURE METER MANAGER
X MAX
Modular Dryer
X MAX has a modular design developed for large systems. With the coupling of the modules, X MAX can serve systems up to 706,000 ft³/h. The X Technology increases the performance of X MAX, reducing the energy consumption to a minimum. Each unit includes a turbo compressor made in Moretto, a widespread zeolite bed and a Dew Point Control device. A local PLC with colour touchscreen display provides a simple and intuitive interface.
The X MAX units can be assembled with a minimum of 3 units and a maximum of 10 units. The variable airflow adjusts automatically according to the needs of the process, avoiding thermal stress on the polymer and changes to the viscosity. Each unit is regenerated in rotation; while one unit is in regeneration, the other units are in process simultaneously.
OTX is the exclusive drying hopper, designed with special patented geometry and unique thermodynamic properties to optimize drying performance. OTX is the result of a dedicated R&D project undertaken to revolutionize how plastics granules are physically dried, that shifts the paradigm in conventional hopper design and operation. OTX controls the granule flow and dramatically reduce residence time, airflow and hopper capacity assuring the most homogeneous drying treatment.
Each OTX hopper has an exclusive Spyro shockproof finishing, an integrated back filter, a viewer, an enlarged door and a 3.9 inc of insulation, suitable for applications up to 392 °F.
Large units are equipped with an openable cone to facilitate cleaning and maintenance. They can be installed on trolleys or modular frames for easy connection to external pipes, filters and heating groups or on modular mezzanines to optimize the use of space in the processing areas.
With 27 sizes to choose from, the OTX series is ideal for any need.

FLOWMATIK
Automatic technological air distribution
FLOWMATIK is a dedicated to the technological processing air distribution for multi-hopper applications.
By setting data on each hopper, the system controls and manages automatically the process and realizes a perfect close loop. The airflow dedicated to each hopper is accurate thanks to a direct measurement of the airflow itself (not through indirect variables) and calibrated dynamically. FLOWMATIK manages the process variables too. The system includes the ANTISTRESS system to protect materials by thermal stress.
Moisture Meter MANAGER is the 4.0 revolution in the drying of the polymers. No tool can compete nor offer production certification with maximum energy efficiency like Moisture Meter Manager does.
The moisture control is absolutely accurate thanks to the exclusive "Power Peak technology". The delta measurement between initial and final moisture of the granule in the hoppers inlet and outlet allows the system to manage the dryer’s working conditions maximizing the process performance.
MM MANAGER integrates the dryer in an adaptive system as outlined by the 4.0 Project of Smart factory. A such structured process, with Moisture Meter Manager, achieves incredible results in terms of efficiency. Moisture Meter MANAGER scans the material every two seconds and provides grain quality reports with regular frequencies for each piece or sample. Production is certified piece by piece. It has a 10’’ HD colour touch view and friendly operator interface.
MM MANAGER has connections: Ethernet, USB, Serial RS485. It’s MOWIS ready.
