SELF-OPTIMIZING DRYER CONTROL SOFTWARE
SKALA Dry
Tighten product spec effortlessly with SKALA’s intelligent dryer control for batch ovens, continuous lines, and other industrial dryers.
Installing SKALA Dry is like hiring the perfect operator: It requires very little training or supervision to get started, it’s inexpensive, and it consistently delivers the best quality and highest yield from each batch.

Higher precision,
less manpower
Approximate moisture calculations, second runs and slightly overdried product can seem negligible on a daily basis, but the time and energy spent adds up to billions of industry dollars wasted each year.
You can spend your time endlessly tweaking processes and training technicians — or you can let SKALA Dry do the work perfectly.
Better every day. Every run improves SKALA’s ability to hit target specs. The more training it receives, the less supervision it needs, and the more benefit it provides.
Inhuman precision and efficiency
SKALA Dry unlocks predictive power that even the most experienced operators simply can’t equal. After setup and training, SKALA Dry typically delivers a 2-3% gain in yield – the equivalent of $100,000 to $7.2 million saved from drying losses per year, depending on company size.
ROI in four months
SKALA Dry-enabled facilities generally achieve return on investment within four months on average.
During those months (and afterward, as needed), you’ll have anytime access to our client success managers to make sure adoption goes smoothly.
No overhaul (or overtime) needed to get started
SKALA isn’t like so many overcomplicated, understaffed Industry 4.0 “software solutions.”
We don’t need to code any software from scratch. There’s no need to overhaul your equipment. Your factory won’t have to shut down, your operators won’t need weeks of training, and you won’t have to fight for support after installation.
How does it work?
First, we link SKALA to your current production equipment and process tracking system so it can record and learn from your process data.
Then, during each drying run, SKALA predicts moisture levels in-process and automatically adjusts dryer controls to produce the perfect finished product.
While training SKALA, technicians will measure moisture levels independently and enter them into SKALA. SKALA uses those secondary data points to test and perfect its predictive models.
World-class class support and service. AQUALAB’s PhD-level scientists, seasoned process control engineers, and expert network integrators work with every SKALA client for as long as needed.
MINIMIZE RISK
Your data is secure, local,
and at your fingertips
SKALA Dry isn’t cloud-based. There’s no internet connection necessary and no risk of malware or cyber attack.
Once your equipment is linked, all of your product data gets written to the same easily referenced database of batch records – a permanent asset to your company.
“Based on my drying experience, it’s been the most reliable drying control application that we’ve seen at our plant. I’d say our satisfaction exceeds expectations.”
