Client Profile
Company: Coco Latex Exports Pvt. Ltd.
Industry: Latex Mattress Production
Challenge
Drying latex mattresses using traditional methods such as hot air, thermic fluid, or steam dryers can be a cumbersome process. Not only does it consume a significant amount of time, but it also requires substantial space within the manufacturing facility. Furthermore, these conventional drying methods often pose a challenge as they may lead to discolouration of the final product, compromising its overall quality and aesthetic appeal. Coco Latex Exports Pvt. Ltd. sought to acquire a drying technology that could address these issues effectively.
Solution
In 2020, Coco Latex Exports opted for Strayfield’s Radio Frequency Dryer for their latex mattress drying process, looking for a more efficient and quality-assured solution.

The Radio Frequency Dryer took up only one-third of the space compared to traditional drying systems.
2. Reduced Drying Time
Drying time was cut drastically from 15-18 hours to just 5-6 hours.
3. Increased Capacity
The dryer boasts a capacity of 125 kW RF, translating to about 6 to 7 king-size beds dried per hour.
4. Manpower Savings

5. Fuel Savings
The dryer resulted in fuel savings between 50 to 60%.

There was no discoloration of the latex mattresses. The product maintained its natural color without the yellowish tinge and brown marks often seen after drying in steam dryers.
7. Economic Value
Though the initial investment was on the higher side, the long-term savings were pronounced. The payback time stood at a reasonable 2.5 years.
8. Exceptional Service
