Plastic Infrared Crystal Dryer

IRD Continuous Processing

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

Convey the material to the Infrared dryer drum.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
