The horizontal dryer is an important piece of equipment for the washing and drying of plastics and is particularly suitable for the drying process in standard PET bottle recycling lines. Featuring a horizontal design, the dryer is uniquely capable of removing up to 98% of the water from hard plastics such as PET bottle flakes, PP PE rigid materials, etc., directly after the washing process. Its efficient moisture removal capability provides a reliable basis for subsequent processing, improving productivity and the quality of plastics recycling.

Usage of a Horizontal Dryer

A plastic dewatering machine is a kind of equipment used to remove moisture from the surface of plastic products for subsequent recycling processes. The recycling process for plastic bottles and rigid plastics like PP, PE, HDPE, and PVC usually involves washing these materials, leading to residual moisture on the product surfaces.

The plastic drying machine, through the high-speed rotation of the drying cylinder, will be the surface of the water drying, improve the drying efficiency of plastic flakes, and help to improve the production efficiency and product quality. In addition, by removing the moisture, it can also reduce the water spots, watermarks, and other problems that occur in the subsequent processing or packaging of plastic products, making the final product more beautiful and dry.

Working Principle of Plastic Dryer

The horizontal dryer is a device that removes surface water from plastic pellets or PET bottle flakes by centrifugal force and high-speed rotation. When the plastic pieces enter the drying machine, the machine starts and the inner cylinder rotates rapidly. Due to the centrifugal force, the moisture is thrown out and flies along the wall of the drum, while the plastic products are kept inside the drum by the centrifugal force. In this way, after a period of rotation, most of the surface moisture is thrown out, thus enabling the plastic products or pellets to reach a low humidity, suitable for subsequent processing or use.

Features of Plastic Dewatering Machine

• Horizontal dryers quickly and efficiently remove water from plastic pellets or plastic flakes to the desired level of dryness. This helps to improve the quality and performance of plastic products.
• Plastic chip dryer machines are typically made of durable stainless steel, which gives them good corrosion resistance and durability. The stainless steel design also helps to ensure that the equipment remains in good operating condition over a long period, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement parts.
• Horizontal dryers are suitable for use in plastic pelletizing lines and plastic bottle recycling lines and therefore have a wide range of applications. Whether in the production of plastic pellets recycling or in the plastic bottle recycling industry, horizontal dryers can be used to remove water and improve product quality and production efficiency.
