The works.
Drying, conveying, blending, and complete systems. Drawn in Baltimore and built to run press-side to plant-wide.
We draw the whole plant, then build it.
Our systems experts visit your site and engineer the complete plant: drying, conveying, blending, and everything around it. We install it and manage it end to end. Everything but the presses, from one partner.

The industry's go-to research hub.
Processors come here first for deep, practical guides on the drying, conveying, and blending problems on the line. No sales pitch, just answers.
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.
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 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.
