A portable dryer and disinfection device includes a container having an interior for receiving one or more electronic components for drying and disinfection. A lid is configured to be removably secured to an upper portion of the container. An ultraviolet light source is attached to a bottom portion of the lid, wherein ultraviolet light generated by the ultraviolet light source is directed into the interior of the container below the lid. A power source is disposed in the lid for providing electrical power to the ultraviolet light source. A tray is disposed within the interior of the container on which the one or more electronic components are placed for drying and disinfection. The tray includes holes that provide air flow communication through the removable tray. A removable desiccant holder is disposed at least partially within the interior of the container below the tray.

Puncture elements and methods for using the same are disclosed. The puncture elements according to the disclosed concept include a cutting edge or a sharp and are composed of a mineral loaded polymer. The minerals of the mineral loaded polymer include an active agent, such as a desiccant. Optionally, the puncture elements are used to puncture a cover (e.g., foil seal) of a package.

An apparatus for drying articles of fabric is disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a frame configured to receive an article of fabric. In another embodiment, the apparatus includes a base coupled to the frame. In another embodiment, the apparatus includes a fan disposed within at least one of the frame or the base, wherein the fan is configured to direct an air stream through the frame to a surface of the article of fabric in order to dry the article of fabric.

The present invention is related to the field of industrial drying unit. The present invention provides for a unit for drying and methods for the direct sorption drying of substances such as, but not limited to, pellets, construction materials, wood, gases, pulp and paper, drying of chemicals from synthesis reactions or inorganic and organic acid production, food.

A drying storage according to the present invention can be carried or moved by a user or installed as a built-in in the user’s residence, and can maintain an object in a dried state after drying the object to be dried, so that the convenience of use can be improved, wherein a desiccant material with an equilibrium moisture content suitable for the temperature and humidity conditions in which the drying storage is used, is applied so that the inside air of the drying storage is inhaled during a dehumidification operation to allow sufficient dehumidification and the outside air of the drying storage is inhaled during a regeneration operation to enable sufficient regeneration of the desiccant material.

Method, system, and apparatus for drying materials used in additive manufacturing and, more particularly, drying systems which are capable of rapidly drying polymers by alternating heating, and low-pressure cycles without affecting material properties.

A portable drying system. The portable drying system may include a base plate; one or more holder frames disposed on a first side of the base plate, wherein each of the one or more holder frames may define an airflow channel therethrough, each airflow channel may extend through the base plate; and an attachment mechanism, wherein the attachment mechanism may be configured to attach the portable drying system to another structure.

A plant for drying granular polymer material comprises a hopper, in which granular polymer material is dried, and a process gas circuit which is configured to supply a process gas to the hopper in order to dry the granular polymer material.

The invention relates to a box (10) for preservation of food. The box comprises a food storage compartment (16). The box also comprises a dry unit (20) adapted to dry the air inside the food storage compartment. The sealable box is formed as one stand-alone unit. Hereby an appliance for keeping food at dry conditions is provided. The appliance can be easily installed and can be moved around to any suitable location including inside a kitchen cabinet.

A drying apparatus for granular materials in which granular materials in a drying tank are heated and dried; the drying apparatus includes a moving mechanism to move the granular materials in the drying tank; and a control section to control the moving mechanism so as to move the granular materials in the drying tank upon determining that temperature of the granular materials around a heating portion in the drying tank exceeds a glass transition temperature.
