Squeezer Drying Machine (プラスチック用絞り乾燥機) (Máy vắt nhựa trục vít cho màng nhựa).

Generally, washed film can contain up to 40% moisture level and can be problematic for post-consumer recyclers. A typical vertical-type dryer can not effectively remove the water moisture from the light-weighted film flakes and there is usually 20-30% water moisture remaining in the material after drying. The excessive water content usually results in inconsistent feeding and low output in the recycling extruder.

• 1. Feeding 

Feeding the wet plastic scraps by belt/screw conveyor.

• 2. Water Discharge (Squeeze)

The specially designed short screw “squeezes” and presses out the remaining moisture out of the washed materials.

• 3. Final Product

The end product from the drying machines is in granule shape, which can be transported to the recycling pelletizing extruder easily.

Main Function

• For pre-washed material (coming directly from washing lines):
  Post-consumer PE film, PP woven, PP jumbo bags, and agricultural film, in the form of flakes after washing.
• Reduces water moisture level down to 1 ~5 % from 10~35%.
• Turn film flakes into solid lumps – higher density, and less volume result in faster, easier, and more stable feeding to the extruder.
• Faster drying of washed film and woven waste compared to conventional drying methods such as centrifugal drying or blow drying using hot air.
• The drying process generates less heat. This results in less material degradation, higher value, and higher reusability of recycled pellets.
• Prepares the material for the extrusion-pelletizing process that follows.

Benefits of Using the Squeezer Dryer 

• Increase Extruder Efficiency:

Increases output capacity and efficiency of the pelletizing extruder and the overall recycling process.

• Improve Pellets Quality: 
  After squeezing, the volume of the material goes down and the feeding to the pelletizing extruder becomes much easier and more consistent. As a result, the quality of the end product (recycled pellets) also improves.

Integration with Recycling Extruder and Washing Line

• Maximizes Output:

Maximizes output when working in line with the combination of the compactor-extruder-pelletizing type of recycling machine.

• Special Designed:

To fit between the washing line and plastic recycling extruder to increase output and efficiency.

• Workflow:
  Washing line → plastic squeezer dryer → plastic recycling extruder
• Washed Film flakes
  
• Washed Jumbo Bags
  
• Plastic Regrinds

Dried plastic granules, which are ready for the extrusion pelletizing process that comes next
