Product Description

Key Advantages of IRD System

1) Energy Consumption
Users are reporting energy costs as low as 0.06kwh/kg without sacrificing product quality.

2) Total Process Visibility
Advanced PLC controls provide full visibility and precision over the entire operation.

3) High Efficiency
Achieve 50ppm in just 20 minutes through a combined drying and crystallization process.

4) Wide Application
Features a rotary drying system with excellent mixing behavior, suitable for even stick resins.

  • Limiting the hydrolytic degradation of the viscosity.
  • Prevent increasing AA levels for materials with food contact.
  • Increasing the capacity of the production line up to 50%.
  • Improvement and stability of product quality through consistent input moisture control.
  • Up to 60% less energy consumption than conventional systems.
  • Instant start-up and quicker shut down.

Process Overview

Phase 1: Heating
Initial stage focused on rapid heating to a preset temperature using infrared lamps and slow drum rotation.

Phase 2: Drying & Crystallizing
Drum speed increases to prevent clumping while infrared power is optimized to finalize the process in 15-20 minutes.

Phase 3: Automatic Discharge
Automated material discharge and refilling, fully integrated with touch-screen recipe management.

PET Processing Quality

PET Processing

Drying is the single most important variable in PET preform processing. If residual moisture remains above 0.005% (50ppm), the material undergoes chemical changes, losing intrinsic viscosity (IV) and physical properties.

FAQ

What is the energy saving compared to conventional systems? Up to 60% less energy consumption.
How long does the drying and crystallization process take? Typically 15-20 minutes, depending on material properties.
Can the system handle sticky resins? Yes, the rotary design and special programming prevent clumping and sticking.
Are the settings saved for future use? Yes, parameters can be saved as recipes in the touch-screen control system.
What is the critical moisture limit for PET? It should be kept below 0.005% (50ppm) to maintain physical properties.
Is the system suitable for R-PET? Yes, it is specifically designed for manufacturing with both PET virgin and R-PET resins.
