Top 10 IRD Dryer for PET sheet production line Factory, Supplier

Solution for Drying&Crystallization of PET Regrind flake and virgin resin Rotation drying system---No segregation of products with different bulk densities Instant start-up and quicker shut down      

Product Description

Drying is the single most important variable in the processing. We work closely with resin suppliers and processors to develop equipment and procedures that eliminate moisture-related quality issues while maximizing energy efficiency.

  • Adopt rotation drying system to ensure uniform drying.
  • Excellent mixing capability preventing sticking or clumping during processing.
  • No segregation of products with different bulk densities.

Energy Consumption & Performance

Our IRD users report energy costs as low as 0.08kwh/kg without sacrificing quality. Key advantages include:

  • Total process visibility through advanced PLC control systems.
  • Achieve 50ppm moisture levels in just 20 minutes via one-step drying & crystallization.
  • Wide range of industrial applications.
  • Limit hydrolytic degradation of viscosity.
  • Prevent increasing AA levels for food-contact materials.
  • Increase production line capacity by up to 50%.
Drying System Process Flow Technical Detail

Process Technology

1. Initial Heating: Slow drum rotation with high infrared lamp intensity to rapidly raise resin temperature to the preset target.

2. Drying & Crystallization: Drum speed increases to prevent clumping. Infrared power is optimized to finish the process efficiently within 15-20 minutes.

3. Automatic Discharge: The system automatically discharges material and refills the drum for the next cycle, with all parameters saved as recipes in the touch screen control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What final moisture levels can be achieved? A: We consistently reach ≤30ppm for PET, even with initial moisture levels between 6000-15000ppm. Q: Is a pre-dryer necessary for vacuum degassing extruders? A: Yes, using a pre-dryer is highly recommended to stabilize product quality, prevent viscosity degradation, and maintain consistent material input. Q: Can you help test new materials? A: Yes, our dedicated Test Center allows for continuous or discontinuous experiments to determine precise drying parameters for your specific materials. Q: What is the typical lead time? A: The delivery time is approximately 40 working days after receipt of the deposit. Q: How is the system installed? A: We offer on-site installation support by experienced engineers or remote technical guidance via online channels. Q: What materials can be processed? A: The system supports PET, PLA, PBT, ABS/PC, HDPE, LCP, PP, PVB, TPU, and many other engineering plastics for various sheet, film, and monofilament extrusion lines.
