The plastic dehydrator is a machine commonly used in modern industrial production to remove excess water from plastic products to improve the quality of the products and reduce energy consumption in the manufacturing process. In this article, we will introduce two common types of drying machine for plastic: lifting dewatering machine and horizontal dryer.

Lifting dewatering machine

Principle of operation

The lifting dewatering machine operates in a vertical direction. Plastic products are placed in the inner cylinder and then the excess water is removed by centrifugal force of high-speed rotation. The moisture is thrown off the surface of the product and discharged through the outlet of the machine.

Advantages of vertical plastic dehydrator

• Highly efficient drying: The vertical dryer is usually able to efficiently remove water in a relatively short period, making it suitable for high-volume production.
• Space saving: Due to their vertical construction, they usually take up less space than horizontal dryers, making them a good choice for limited work areas.
• Easy to maintain: Maintaining a lifting dewatering machine is usually relatively simple and easy to clean and maintain.

Application of vertical type dewatering machine

Vertical plastic dehydrator is widely used in the de-watering process of manufacturing granular plastics, films, plastic sheets and other plastic products. It is widely used in plastic recycling and manufacturing industries and is an indispensable and important machine for plastic film recycling line.

Horizontal dryer

Working principle

Horizontal dryers work differently than vertical dryers. The product is placed in a horizontal plastic dehydrator and rotates to remove excess water, which is discharged through the outlet of the machine.

Advantages of horizontal dryer

• Uniform drying: Horizontal plastic dehydrators can process plastic materials more uniformly, reducing the problems associated with uneven moisture.
• Specialty materials: Specialty plastic materials, such as plastic bottles, may be better suited for processing in a horizontal dryer to avoid warping or tearing.
• Lower energy consumption: Horizontal dryers typically have lower energy consumption compared to vertical dryers, helping to reduce production costs.

Application of horizontal dryer

Horizontal plastic dehydrator is suitable for large products or mass production, such as plastic sheets, pet plastic bottles and so on. It is an important piece of equipment for plastic bottle recycling line.
