Residual moisture can quickly become a problem during plastic recycling, particularly after material has been washed and separated. If too much water remains in the granulate, it can cause the material to stick together, make handling more difficult and create issues further down the recycling process.
Rotajet Systems manufactures a range of mechanical and thermal plastic dryers designed to reduce this residual moisture and help produce cleaner, easier-to-handle plastic granulate.
Drying After Washing and Separation
During plastic recycling, water is commonly used to remove contamination and to help separate different materials, including in sink-float systems. Once these stages are complete, the washed plastic needs to be dried before it is ready for storage, transport or further processing.
Removing as much remaining moisture as possible helps improve material handling and can support more consistent performance later in the recycling process.
Mechanical and Thermal Drying Options
Rotajet offers several drying technologies to suit different applications, including high-speed dryers, horizontal mechanical dryers, vertical mechanical dryers and thermal dryers.
These systems are designed for drying plastic granulate after decontamination and separation, allowing processors to select an approach suited to the type of material being handled and the wider recycling process.
Standalone Machines or Complete Recycling Lines
Rotajet dryers can be supplied as standalone machines for integration into an existing plant, or incorporated as part of a complete plastic washing and recycling line.
This flexibility allows recycling businesses to upgrade an individual part of their process or specify a more complete solution covering washing, separation, drying and onward material handling.
For processors working with recycled plastics, effective drying forms an important final stage in producing granulate that is cleaner, more manageable and ready for the next step in the recycling process.
