Mojave Dryer

The Mojave Dryer is a new dryer design intended to serve applications in which cost is a primary concern, but not at the sacrifice of web handling or drying capability. By paring down electronic and cosmetic "niceties", the Mojave dryer is a viable alternative for "rebuild" and "replacement" dryer applications. Having a slim profile with air handling components mounted on the back of the dryer, the Mojave is also targeted for OEM manufacturers that require a compact, flexible and cost-effective dryer. The Mojave has less frills yet comparable drying performance, foot-for-foot, to any modern flotation dryer.
