Silo to press throat.
One running system.

American owned and made. For 75 years Novatec has engineered the whole path, from silo to press throat.

Plant schematic: material flows from the silo through the vacuum pump, central dryer, and blender to the press throat SILO VACUUM PUMP CENTRAL DRYER BLENDER PRESS THROAT

Every block on the schematic is a machine we build.

Novatec is the largest U.S.-based maker of resin drying and conveying equipment. One partner for the whole path, from silo to press throat.

Central dryer

Drying

The industry's widest range, portable to central. Seven drying technologies and dew points to -40°F, matched to your resin.

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?

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