This is a trial run of our 1000 kg/hr thermal dryer to be commissioned in the USA. Installing a thermal dryer is the logical step in the plastic recycling process during the mechanical drying stage. This method effectively removes any remaining moisture from the surface of plastic flakes, HDPE rigids and PET or PE films. It ensures optimal conditions for subsequent processes such as plastic extrusion.
Thermal dryers use hot air to dry the plastic material, much like a hair dryer. After dewatering, the plastic material is vacuumed out by a transport blower and mixed with hot air traveling through a long set of stainless steel tubing that winds back and forth. As the plastic material mixes and spins around within this lengthy transport tunnel, moisture is effectively dehydrated. Ending with a cyclone separation apparatus, where cool air is mixed in, residual moisture is further reduced. The cyclone separator is the last stand against any dust and fines within the material stream.
