Plastic Dewatering Machine

The plastic dewatering machine is mainly used to completely remove the water remaining in the plastic after washing and improve the dryness of the plastic, to reduce the time and cost of subsequent processing.

The plastic dewatering machine is one of the important and indispensable equipment in the plastic recycling process. In this article, we will introduce the horizontal dryer for plastic chips, which is widely used and plays an important role in the plastic recycling industry. The hot model of this machine is SL-550 with an output of 1000kg/hour. We also provide more models of plastic chips dryer machines, which can also be customized according to customers’ requirements.

Plastic Dewatering Machine Introduction

A horizontal dryer for plastic chips is mainly used to completely remove the water remaining in the plastic after washing and improve the dryness of the plastic, to reduce the time and cost of subsequent processing. The machine is suitable for all kinds of plastic materials, including PET, HDPE, PP, etc. It is widely used in plastic bottle recycling and plastic sheet recycling.

Working Principle Of Plastic Chips Dryer Machine

The horizontal plastic dewatering machine separates plastic from water by rotating the centrifugal spiral inside. When the plastic enters the machine, the moisture is rapidly discharged due to the force of the high-speed rotating spiral, while the plastic is gradually moved towards the discharge port under the push of the spiral. The dewatered plastic is finally discharged from the machine, achieving the desired drying effect.

Application Of Horizontal Dryer

Horizontal dryer is mostly used in rigid plastic washing lines and PET flakes washing lines. It can effectively remove the residual water after washing plastic flakes, ensure the dryness of the material, and provide clean and dry raw materials for subsequent recycling and reuse.

Role Of The Plastic Dryer Machine

Plastic dryer machines have a variety of important roles in the plastic recycling and pelletizing process:

  • Efficient Dewatering: Rapidly removes water from the surface of cleaned plastics to ensure that they are dry.
  • Improve the quality of granulation: dry plastic is not easy to produce bubbles and defects in the granulation process, to ensure the purity and quality of granules.
  • Increased productivity: Dry plastic materials are easier to process for subsequent processing, such as pelletizing, extrusion, or injection molding.
