Material moves in a loop.
Novatec closes it.

Drying, conveying, blending, and complete systems from one American manufacturer, Baltimore-built for 75 years.

The closed material loop A circular diagram. Resin travels clockwise from the silo to drying, blending, and the press, and the conveying return line closes the loop. The Novatec sun mark sits at the center of the ring. SILO DRY BLEND PRESS RETURN

Everything the loop needs, built here.

Drying, conveying, and blending equipment, plus the systems team that ties it all together. One Baltimore manufacturer for all four.

Systems

Complete plants, designed and installed by us, run on MCS and OptiFlex controls.

We build the whole loop.

Our systems team visits your floor, engineers the complete plant, drying, conveying, blending, and everything in between, and runs the project end to end. Everything but the presses, from one Baltimore partner.

Start a systems project
We walk your floor first. Systems engineers map the material path before a single machine is specified.
We engineer it as one plant. Drying, conveying, blending, and the controls that tie them together, designed to run as a system.
We install and stand behind it. One partner builds, installs, and supports the whole plant, everything but the presses.

Questions we hear most.

Can I buy just one dryer or one pump?

Absolutely. Most of what we sell is single equipment. Buy one unit or build a whole plant, the expertise is the same either way.

Not sure which model you need?

Our applications engineers size the system from your resin, rate, and floor plan. Send those three and they take it from there, or call 410.789.4811.

Where is it built and supported?

Baltimore, Maryland. American owned and operated for 75 years, with engineering, manufacturing, and 24/7 U.S.-based support all here in the States.

Can you integrate with equipment we already have?

Yes, where the system allows it. SmartConveying retrofits onto Novatec conveying already on your floor, and MCS and OptiFlex controls put every dryer, pump, and receiver on one screen. An applications engineer confirms fit before anything is quoted.

What if something fails?

Every machine carries a 5-year standard warranty, and the NovaWheel desiccant rotor a lifetime one. Genuine parts and 24/7 U.S.-based support keep downtime short.

Let's close your loop.

Tell us the resin, the rate, and the floor plan. An applications engineer in Baltimore works the rest.
