Drying of Rack-Mounted Goods

  • Up to 45% subsidized acquisition costs

  • Save up to 75% on energy costs

  • 100% planning reliability thanks to premium after-sales service

Rack-mounted goods place special demands on the drying process, particularly due to their often complex shape, material, and coatings. With Airgenex® technology, HARTER offers a solution that ensures uniform, material-friendly drying on and between the rack components. Whether after washing, pre-treatment, or painting: the reliable condensation drying process prevents water spots, shortens downtime, and improves the quality of subsequent processing steps. The closed circuit ensures consistent results with high energy efficiency – regardless of environmental influences or part geometry.

Efficient Drying for Complex Geometries

Airgenex® drying reliably dries rack-mounted goods – even with cavities, depressions, and intricate structures. The process reduces cycle times and ensures dry parts without post-processing.

Your benefits

Through targeted airflow and adapted air distribution, all surfaces and intermediate spaces on the rack are dried uniformly – regardless of part geometry and arrangement. The result: spot-free, immediately processable surfaces without residues.

Condensation drying with Airgenex® significantly shortens drying times compared to conventional methods. This allows for optimizing throughput times and making production processes more efficient – with clear advantages for capacity utilization and economic efficiency.

Whether small batches or fully loaded racks: The closed drying system guarantees constant conditions and reproducible results – regardless of room climate or load quantity.

Rack-mounted goods are often subjected to repeated stress – be it through cleaning processes, coatings, or drying. Low-temperature drying between 30°C and 75°C permanently protects material and surfaces and reduces wear.

HARTER’s drying solutions can be adapted to different rack sizes, shapes, and process requirements. Whether as a standalone unit or integrated into existing conveyor technology – Airgenex® adapts to your line.

Drying Systems for Rack-Mounted Goods

For rack-mounted goods, HARTER relies on flexible drying systems such as continuous dryers, tunnel dryers, or special systems with automated loading. The combination of heat pump technology, precise airflow, and closed process air ensures uniform results – even with complex geometries or high packing density.

The Process

We dry with dry air and deliver it to the right places: A perfect interplay of air preparation and air guidance provides you with the best possible drying result.

Interface: Airgenex® Dehumidification Technology / Dryer – Moist air is extracted from the drying chamber and supplied to the dehumidification unit.

The pre-cooler pre-cools the air in a first stage. This significantly reduces the compressor’s energy consumption.

Moisture condenses on the fins of the air cooler and drains out of the drying system via the drip tray and condensate drain.

The cooled, dehumidified air is warmed up without additional energy by means of a pre-heater.
The air heater warms the air to the required process temperature.

The process air fan ensures the necessary air exchange between the Airgenex® dehumidification technology and the drying chamber.

Now, the dry, unsaturated air is guided into the drying chamber, where it absorbs the product’s moisture. Thus, the cycle is closed.

Efficiency that pays off.

Our HARTER drying systems save up to 75% CO₂ and are up to 45% governmentally funded.

What Our Customers Say

Not convinced yet? Our customers are thrilled!

“Sometimes it’s better to say nothing and let your customers speak for themselves.”
– Regina Mader, Managing Director

“For several decades, we have been using a Harter sludge dryer in our contract electroplating facility and are very satisfied with it. The technology and service are reliable and have helped us save a significant amount of money on disposal.”

Daniel Hutter
Verzinkerei Kriessern AG

“BK Giulini GmbH has been successfully collaborating with Harter GmbH for approximately 20 years. We are very satisfied with both the dryer technology and the reliability of the entire system. Based on these positive experiences and the excellent service, we invested in another drying system of this type in 2023.”

Dimitri Baumbach
ICL Ladenburg / BK Giulini GmbH (ICL Group)

“In our waste incineration plant, we have saved a significant amount of money by drying our heavy metal-containing hydroxide sludge. The plant technology is sustainable and maintenance-friendly. In retrospect, the investment was a very good decision.”
