Infrared Drying And Crystallization Equipment for PET,PP,PE

Detailed Product Description

IRD Heats Material From Inside
Infrared (IR) operates in the same manner as the heat from the sun so unlike conventional driers only the solid or liquid mass is heated not the surrounding air which remains cool.

IR causes molecular heat oscillation directly to the core of the material so vaporising moisture which is absorbed and removed by the cool air.

Desiccant dryers work in reverse, the surface is always hotter than the core consequently as soon as it is in ambient air the the surface cools and absorbs moisture.

Applications

Crystallising and drying of PET regrind from sheet, film or bottles

Drying of virgin PET

Pre heating and drying of free flowing powders

Pre heating and drying of wood / PP

Blends of regrind, virgin and additives

Biodegradable PVOH

Hygroscopic thermoplastics

Due to the speed of moisture removal by IR acting directly at the core of the material energy consumption is low.

Typically for PET the power required is 120 watts per kilo per hour.
