This plastic dryer machine is a piece of equipment used to process plastic products. Plastics usually need to be dried during the manufacturing process to ensure the quality and performance of the final product.
Plastic materials tend to absorb moisture during processing, and if not dried sufficiently, this may lead to quality problems in the product, such as bubbles, cracks, and discoloration. Plastic dryers are essential in waste plastic granulation lines and PET bottle washing plants.
The Role of Plastic Dryer Machine
The main function of the drying machine for plastic is to evaporate the water in the plastic products to ensure that the plastics will not have quality problems in subsequent processing and use. The following are the main roles of plastic dryers:
- Moisture removal: By using the plastic dryer, the moisture in plastic products can be effectively removed to ensure the stable quality of the products.
- Increased productivity: Plastic materials with excessive moisture can lead to slower production during processing, as the presence of moisture affects the fluidity and fusibility of the plastic. Using a plastic dryer machine can improve productivity and speed up the production of products.
- Avoiding discoloration and odors: Moisture can cause color changes or odors for some plastic types. By drying the plastic, these problems can be avoided, ensuring product appearance and quality.
- Reduced energy consumption: plastics with high humidity require more heat energy to melt and process, while dry plastics can reach the required temperature more quickly, thus reducing energy consumption.
Working Principle of Drying Machine for Plastic
The working principle of the plastic dehydrator is based on the application of centrifugal force and is designed to effectively remove water or moisture from plastic materials. In operation, the plastic material containing moisture is first loaded into a specially designed horizontal drum.
Next, the drum is rotated at high speed by starting a motor. The centrifugal force generated by this high-speed rotation causes the moisture to be subjected to inertia and is separated from the plastic material.
Applications of Plastic Dehydrator
This plastic dryer machine has a wide range of applications and can be used in production lines such as plastic recycling granulating lines and PET bottle washing lines, and is suitable for drying a wide range of plastics such as PP, PE, LDPE, HDPE, and PET.
Plastic Dryer Machine Parameters
The hot mode of the plastic dehydrator model is SL-550, and its specific parameters are as follows:
- Outer diameter: 550 mm
- Length: 1000 mm
- Filter aperture: 4 mm
- Processing capacity: 1000kg/hour
With an outer diameter of 550 mm and a length of 1000 mm, this drying machine for plastic is suitable for production environments of varying sizes. The filter aperture is 4mm, which means that during the drying process, the plastic material that passes through this dryer is screened, allowing only pellets with a diameter of less than 4mm to pass through, ensuring the quality of the final product. It has a capacity of up to 1000kg per hour.
Two Types of Plastic Dryer Machine From Shuliy
Vertical Dewatering Machine
The vertical dewatering machine is widely used for lifting all kinds of plastic films, waste woven bags, agricultural films, plastic bags, and other materials from the plastic washing tank. It is usually installed at the end of the plastic rinsing tank and is mainly used in the production process such as plastic film granulation line.
Horizontal Dewatering Machine
The horizontal dryer is usually used in waste plastic granulation lines for hard plastic and PET bottle washing lines, the materials that can be processed are waste plastic drums, plastic toys, plastic baskets, PET bottles, and so on.
