, Inc., Torrington, Conn. Its new Drymax ES40 with dry air flow of 23.5 cfm can be supplied on a compact cart (as shown), with the drying hopper A tray, or chute, that accepts input to a mechanical device, such as a disk duplicator or printer. In the days of punch cards, millions of cards were numerically or alphabetically organized by placing them into the hopper of a card sorter, taking them out of all the stackers and putting on the processing machine and the desiccant unit on the floor beside it, or with both components machine-mounted. Options include high-temp. (356 F) capability and a return-air cooler. Tel: (860) 496-9603 * www.wittmann-ct.com
