Our thermal dryer is an outstanding method for extracting moisture through dehydration. Specifically engineered for our plastic film and PET washing lines, this continuous drying apparatus is strategically positioned after the dewatering machine. The thermal dryer, equipped with a cyclone separator, serves as a crucial final step in reducing moisture levels to below 3%.
Working Principle
Thermal dryers utilize hot air to dry the plastic material, much like a hair dryer. After dewatering, the plastic material is vacuumed out by a transport blower and combined with hot air traveling through an extended set of stainless steel tubing that winds back and forth. As the plastic material blends and spirals around within this extensive transport tunnel, moisture is efficiently dehydrated. The process concludes with a cyclone separation apparatus, where cool air is introduced, further lowering residual moisture. The cyclone separator acts as the last defense against any dust and fines within the material stream.
Depending on the capacity of your washing line, the use of one thermal heater is generally sufficient. However, to achieve the lowest possible moisture levels, some washing plants may opt for the use of two or even three thermal heaters positioned consecutively.
