20220341662 · 2022-10-27 · ·

A method for drying bulk material, in particular solids, preferably for plastics-processing machines, in drying devices and containers, interconnected to form an assembly. Depending on the material used, the drying time specified, is transmitted or set by the operator or i-s-present in the controller. A consumer transmits the material consumption or the shot weight per production cycle, respectively, or the individual or cumulated shot weights for several production cycles or other values indicative of the material consumption to the drying device(s) and/or material container(s). Each material container consists, on the control side, of several loading batches, preferably with time stamps, and the drying or residence time, respectively, for the respectively lowest loading batch in the material container results from the difference between the current time of the respective material removal by the consumer and the time stamp associated with the oldest loading batch.
