Context: A paper manufacturing plant needed a paper roll drying solution after processing, ensuring output quality for the printing/packaging industry.
Challenge: Traditional drying methods caused warping and deformation due to uneven heat; high electricity/fuel costs; prolonged drying time; extremely high fire/explosion risk as paper is a highly flammable material.
Solution: DeAir researched and manufactured the custom Daxwell DX-600M-SAV model (SAV version - Saving & Safety) with heat-pump technology and specialized airflow design.
Result: 100% uniformly dried paper rolls, no warping, 50% energy cost reduction, shortened drying time, and complete elimination of fire/explosion risks.
1. The "Difficult Equation" in Paper Roll Drying and Hidden Risks
1.1. Warping and Deformation Phenomenon
In the paper manufacturing process, drying paper rolls requires high precision in moisture and temperature gradients. When heat distribution is uneven between the paper core and the outer surface, warping and deformation occur, reducing product quality and causing difficulties for subsequent printing and packaging stages.
1.2. High Fire and Explosion Risks
⚠️ SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARDS
Paper is highly flammable: When exposed to high heat sources or sparks, the risk of fire and explosion is very high.
Electric resistance dryers, boilers: Traditional methods easily cause localized overheating or spark generation.
Threat to life and property: A fire/explosion incident can cause serious damage to the factory and employees.
1.3. Operating Costs "Eroding" Profits
Drying paper requires large amounts of heat and long durations. Traditional drying solutions using electric resistance heating or fossil fuels make electricity/fuel bills a heavy burden, "eroding" the company's profits.
The Daxwell DX-600M-SAV model is a product custom-made by DeAir based on the specific requirements of the paper roll drying project. Inheriting the outstanding advantages of the Daxwell line, the SAV model is optimized with 4 special features for the paper industry:
4 SUPERIOR ADVANTAGES FOR PAPER ROLLS
3D uniform airflow: Specially designed airflow distribution system and trolley help remove heat and moisture evenly from inside out, guaranteeing no warping or deformation.
Absolute fire/explosion safety: Heat-pump technology operates at low and stable temperature ranges (no direct electric resistance heating, no open flame), completely eliminating ignition risks.
Maximum energy savings (SAV): Reuses condensation heat, reducing electricity costs by 50-70% compared to electric resistance drying.
Shortened drying time: Precise humidity control via PLC/HMI helps shorten the drying cycle without damaging the paper structure.
2.2. Outstanding Technical Specifications
Thermal capacity: 113,961 Btu/h
Electrical capacity: 9.95 kW (optional electric resistance supplement available)
3. Professional Handover and Installation Process for Custom Projects
Step 1: Survey & Custom Design
DeAir engineers conducted detailed surveys: measuring paper roll dimensions, calculating moisture load, analyzing paper material characteristics. From this, they redesigned the drying chamber and airflow system to optimally suit the SAV model, ensuring airflow distribution throughout the drying space.
Step 2: Manufacturing & Transportation
The Daxwell DX-600M-SAV dryer was manufactured at the DeAir factory with ISO 9001:2015 quality control processes. After completion, the equipment was carefully packaged and safely transported to the site.

Step 3: Installation & Connection
The DeAir technical team installed the Daxwell dryer, specialized stainless steel trolley system for paper rolls, connected 3-phase power and automatic condensate drainage systems. The entire process was carried out in strict compliance with technical and safety standards.
The HMI screen allows precise monitoring and control of the paper roll drying cycle
Step 4: Test Run & Parameter Calibration
DeAir conducted test runs with actual paper, measuring moisture at multiple points in the drying chamber to ensure uniformity. Engineers calibrated the drying curve on the HMI screen to achieve target moisture without warping, while optimizing drying time.

Step 5: Operational Training
DeAir provided detailed guidance to factory workers on how to load paper onto trolleys, set automatic drying programs on the HMI screen, monitor operating parameters, and perform basic maintenance operations to maintain system performance.

5. Infographic: Traditional Paper Roll Drying vs. Daxwell DX-600M-SAV
📊 COMPARISON: TRADITIONAL PAPER ROLL DRYING VS. DAXWELL DX-600M-SAV
Q1: How does the "custom" DX-600M-SAV model differ from standard Daxwell models?
The DX-600M-SAV model was custom-designed by DeAir for the paper roll drying project with special features: (1) 3D airflow distribution system optimized for paper rolls, (2) Specialized stainless steel trolleys, (3) Pre-programmed drying curves for paper materials, (4) Fire/explosion safety features prioritized. This is a "tailor-made" product according to specific customer requirements.
Q2: Can heat-pump dryers provide enough heat to dry the paper roll core?
Absolutely. With an operating temperature range of 50-80°C and a specially designed 3D airflow distribution system, heat is transferred evenly from the surface to the paper roll core. The drying time may be slightly longer than high-temperature methods, but it ensures paper quality is not damaged and provides superior energy savings.
Q3: How does this solution help prevent fire and explosion?
Heat-pump technology operates based on the heat pump principle, without using direct electric resistance heating or open flames. Temperature is precisely controlled within a safe range (50-80°C), with no risk of localized overheating or spark generation. This is the safest solution for drying flammable materials like paper.
Q4: Does DeAir support programming "drying recipes" for paper with different GSM (grammage)?
Yes! With the PLC control system and smart HMI screen, DeAir can program and store multiple "drying recipes" for different paper types with varying GSM, thickness, and composition. Staff simply need to select the appropriate recipe on the screen, and the system will automatically adjust temperature, time, and airflow optimally.
