PET Dryer/PET pellets and flakes / regrind crystal Infrared dryer / PET dehumidifier

Applications:

• Infrared rotating drums IRD –  virtually unlimited and  plastics and other industries.

• drying of plastic pellets (e.g. PET, ABS/PC, PC, LCP, wood-PP, PP/PE compounds)
• crystallisation and drying of PET, PPS, PLA (reclaim/pellets)
• drying processes with high initial moistures > 1 %
• heating of pellets and reclaim before further processing (e.g. PVC, PE) for example to increase the extruder throughput
• heating processes for removing residual oligomeres and volatile components
• drying in the food, feed and pharmaceutical industries
• roasting of coffee beans.

Specifications:

Competitive Advantage:

• crystallisation and drying plants for PET pellets and flakes / regrind.
• Granulated foil stock from thermo-forming,
• 100 kg/hr–1500 kg/hr post-consumer bottle reclaim .
• can be mixed with virgin granules – separation does not take place in the rotating drum.
• drying of PLA IRD technology , for virgin, granulated or mixed feedstocks.
• The continual movement of the material in the infrared rotating drum is ideal for, particularly, PLA granulated stock, which tends to easily stick together in the crystallisation phase at T = 60 °C.
• close the melt temperature without agglomerates forming.
• employed in processes in which volatile components or residual oligomeres need to be extracted from the product.
• heating shear sensitive materials before plasticising in the extruder, (especially in cold climates).
