Plastic Film Dryer (compactor)

The screw extruders used in horizontal drying machines are heat-treated to ensure long-lasting and durable use.

  • Mechanical Dewatering with Integrated Thermal Support
  • While most of the moisture is physically removed using the mechanical squeezing principle, the ceramic resistance-assisted drying system minimizes the remaining moisture, ensuring
  • high drying efficiency.
  • Direct Feeding Capability to Granule Extruder
  • Thanks to the low outlet moisture content, the dried film plastics can be fed directly into the granule extruder line, eliminating the need for agromel and reducing energy and labor costs.
  • Precision Discharge and Shape Protection System
  • The specially designed outlet unit and mirror system enable the material to be discharged homogeneously, without distorting its shape, and completely dewatered.
  • Heat-Treated Extruder-Type Screw Barrel Design
  • The heat-treated extruder-type screw barrel structure offers high wear resistance and a long service life, ensuring continuous and stable operation.

Horizontal Drying Machine – High-Performance Drying Solution for Film Plastics
Horizontal drying machines are advanced systems that provide high-efficiency drying by removing moisture from film plastics using a mechanical squeezing method. The ceramic resistors used in the drying phase reduce the moisture level of the material to the lowest point, eliminating the need for additional drying equipment in subsequent production steps. With this method, the processed material can be directly directed to the granule extruder machine; thus, there is no need for an agromel machine, energy consumption is reduced, and labor requirements are minimized. At the end of the application, the moisture content of the plastics is reduced to a range of 0.5% to 2%.
The special mirror integrated into the outlet of the machine and the designed outlet unit enable the product to exit in a single size and completely dewatered without distorting its form. The extruder-type screw barrel used in horizontal drying machines is hardened by heat treatment, offering long-lasting and durable use.
Thanks to all these features, the horizontal drying machine stands out as an indispensable piece of equipment in recycling facilities, both improving the final product quality and reducing operating costs.
