The frequency of infrared is about 1012 C/S ~ 5x1014 C/S, which is part of electromagnetic wave. Near infrared wavelength is 0.75~2.5μ and travels straight at the speed of light. It is directly transmitted to the material to be heated, causing physical phenomena of absorption, reflection, and transmission.
Infrared rays that penetrate and reflect from the material do not affect the organization of the material, but the absorbed energy is converted into heat due to molecular excitation, causing the material temperature to rise. PET crystallization can be achieved in a very short time.
Key Advantage: Dry & Crystallize PET Masterbatch in 20mins at 50ppm by saving 45-50% energy cost.
- Up to 60% less energy consumption than conventional drying systems
- Uniform crystallization process
- No pellets clumped or stuck
- Drying and crystallization in one single step
- Careful material treatment
- Instant start-up and quick shut down
- Independent temperature and drying time control
- Easy cleaning and color changing
Processing Workflow
1. Pre-heating: The infrared lamps operate at high power with slow drum rotation to reach the target temperature rapidly.
2. Drying & Crystallizing: Drum speed increases to prevent clumping. Infrared power maintains the process for 15-20 minutes depending on material properties.
3. Automatic Discharge: The system automatically discharges material and refills, managed by an intuitive Touch Screen interface where recipes can be saved.
