Rotary drum crystal Infrared dryer / PET dehumidifier Equipment for PET flake / regrind
- 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).
More Detail:
- infrared rotating drum IRD operates extraordinarily efficiently by direct heat irradiation.
- Energy consumption can be reduced significantly.
- infrared rotating drum IRD is the ideal alternative in the face of steadily rising energy costs.
- The most important components are the radiator module within a horizontal rotating drum, which has an integral, welded, conveyor screw.
- a volumetric metering unit, into the integral screw of the rotating drum, distributing it evenly through the dryer. T
- he dwell time depends on the rotational speed of the drum and is adapted precisely to the operational parameters.
- At the end of the rotating drum the material falls into the output hopper and can be transferred directly to the next process step.
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.
