IRD Continuous Processing

The project for Infrared crystal dryer ODE Made

Infrared crystal dryer can be used for PET, PLA, TPU, TPE HIPS, PE, ABS, EVA ,PC, PEEK, PPS, PTFE, PEEK e.g.

Infrared crystal dryer continuous processing

Infrared drying technology offers the ability to dry and crystallize materials in minutes, compared to hours with conventional drying equipment which reduces change over times significantly and reduces energy consumption at almost 45%, Also Infrared drying technology changes in moisture at beginning will dry pellets gently to a uniform degree within minutes, the final moisture can be 150ppm.

The infrared dryer ODE Made can be used for a variety of plastic pellets, such as APET, GPET, CPET, PLA, HIPS, PE, ABS, EVA ,PC, PEEK, PPS, PTFE, PEEK, TPU, TPE e.g.

IRD inside structure for reference

Infrared crystal dryer continuous processing

Screw feeder

Convey the material to the Infrared dryer drum.

Material flow helix
channel

The entranced material flow will go by welded helix channel on the drum surface while the drum rotates. During the processing, the material will be dried evenly by turning over and conveyed out.

Infrared module

Used to provide a heat source to evenly illuminate the material.

Infrared temperature
detector

Imported from Germany, the temperature information of particles/Scraps in the drum will be fed back to Siemens PLC in time to realize the intelligent regulation of temperature.

Cooling air supply
for infrared module

Prevent dust from adhering to the wall of the lamp tube, affecting lamp life and heating efficiency; causing temperature difference in the drum, which is conducive to the diffusion of water vapor.

Advantage

No	Infrared crystal dryer	Conventional dehumidifier and crystallizer
Comparison: Take 500kg/h Infrared crystal dryer and 500kg/h Conventional dehumidifier and crystallizer as example
1	Processing
	Dry and crystallizer at one step processing	Dehumidifying and Crystallizer separated
2	Drying time
	20mins	Dehumidifying 4-5hours Crystallizer 40-60mins
3	Energy cost
	Installation power: 42kw Practical energy cost: 20KW/H	Installation power: 156kw Practical energy cost: 78KW/H
	Infrared crystal dryer Energy savings up to 45%
4	Space saving

	Infrared crystal dryer is up to 300% space saving
5	Maintenance
	Infrared lamp working life 7000-10000hours. If broken, just pull it out and insert new lamp. And all lamps are controlled by PLC system, no need to adjust the heating temperature	Molecular sieve have to be examed at regular time. If blocked, you have to changed all Molecular sieve and adjust the dew point and test the dryer again

	Infrared crystal dryer is much easier for start, operate and maintenance
