Gentle basket drying with maximum efficiency

Basket dryers from HARTER enable precise, reproducible drying in baskets, sieve inserts or special containers. Thanks to coordinated air flow and low temperatures, even dense bulk materials are dried evenly – without stains and gently on the material. Integration into manual or automated processes is flexibly feasible. Proven solutions for many industries: Tried and tested in electroplating, precision mechanics/watch parts, packaging, medical technology and sterile goods processing. HARTER delivers tailor-made designs for product, quantity and process requirements.

Your benefits

A coordinated air guidance system directs the dry process air through all areas of the basket. This allows you to achieve consistent results without over- or under-drying – even with complex geometries and high packing density.

Whether standard basket, sieve insert or special container: The basket dryer adapts to your existing components. This simplifies integration into existing processes and reduces additional investments.

With Vibarrel® baskets, slight vibration impulses keep the parts in motion. Deposits are avoided, drying times are reduced, the residual moisture is reached faster – ideal for very small parts and bulk material.

Low temperatures (30–75 °C) and dry process air prevent water stains and residues. Surfaces remain flawless – perfect after aqueous cleaning, galvanic treatment or ultrasonic processes.

The compact design allows use in a confined space. Modular design facilitates expansions and adaptation to cycle time, capacity and handling – from the laboratory to series production.

The basket dryer is suitable for manual loading as well as for automated loading and unloading. Shaker/rotation options support even drying for demanding geometries.

The Airgenex® technology works in a closed circuit with heat pump and heat recovery. This noticeably reduces energy consumption and increases process stability – regardless of the room climate.

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.”
