Ethiopia’s manufacturing sector, particularly in food-grade packaging and textile fiber production, is shifting toward high-performance polymers. Infrared (IR) crystal drying represents a significant technological leap for local converters. Unlike traditional hot-air dryers that consume excessive electricity and require hours, our IRD technology reduces drying time to 20 minutes, cutting energy costs by up to 50%—a vital factor for maintaining profitability in developing industrial landscapes.
With the rise of circular economy initiatives in East Africa, the ability to process recycled PET (rPET) into high-quality flakes is becoming a gold standard. Our technology provides the precision needed for rPET crystallization, ensuring Ethiopian manufacturers can compete on a global stage. Our macro-solutions cover the entire value chain from initial shredding to high-purity granulation.
Q1: Why choose IRD over desiccant drying for Ethiopian plants?
A1: IRD technology is significantly faster (20 mins vs 4+ hours) and energy-efficient, making it ideal for the power infrastructure constraints often found in emerging markets.
Q2: Can your dryers handle recycled PET?
A2: Yes, our systems are specifically engineered to handle rPET, providing crystallization and drying simultaneously to reach moisture levels as low as 50ppm.
