Since 1950, Baltimore, Maryland
The American standard in resin drying & conveying.
American owned and American made for seventy-five years. Novatec builds the equipment for every step, press-side to plant-wide, and the whole plant behind it.
The drying line, photographed at the works in Baltimore.
Experts in all four.
Drying, conveying, blending, and complete systems. Every line designed, welded, and wired in Baltimore.
Conveying
Single loaders to plant-wide material handling, moving resin the length of the building, now supervised by AI-enabled SmartConveying.

Blending
Gravimetric blenders and feeders, built with our partners at Maguire, holding ratio at the machine throat for repeatable part quality shift after shift.

Systems
Complete plants, designed and installed by us. The whole line engineered together and tied to one screen by MCS and OptiFlex central controls.
See our systems
We design, build, and install the whole thing.
Our systems team visits your plant and engineers the complete system: drying, conveying, blending, and everything around it. Then we build it, install it, and manage it end to end.
Everything but the presses, from one partner in Baltimore. MCS and OptiFlex central controls tie every dryer, pump, and receiver to a single screen.

When you call Baltimore, the person who answers has probably rebuilt the machine you are calling about.
Five years on the machine. A lifetime behind it.
Every machine carries a five-year standard warranty, and the NovaWheel desiccant rotor a lifetime one. Genuine parts ship from Baltimore, and the service line is answered by people with decades on the floor. That is the whole pitch.

The straight answers our applications engineers give on the phone.
Can I buy just one dryer or one pump?
Absolutely. Most of what we sell is a single machine. Buy one unit or build a whole plant, the expertise behind it is the same either way.
Not sure which model you need?
Send our applications engineers your resin, your rate, and your floor plan. They size the system from there. The number is 410.789.4811.
Where is it built and supported?
Baltimore, Maryland. American owned and operated for seventy-five years, with engineering, manufacturing, and 24/7 U.S.-based support all under one roof.
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 central controls put every dryer, pump, and receiver on one screen. An applications engineer confirms the fit before anything is quoted.
What if something fails?
Every machine carries a five-year standard warranty, and the NovaWheel desiccant rotor a lifetime one. Genuine parts and 24/7 U.S.-based support keep the downtime short.
