Power Saving Plastic Film Squeezing Dryer

Plastic Film Squeezing Dryer 

Plastic squeezer is a kind of equipment used in plastic processing industry, which is mainly used to squeeze and dry plastic raw materials (such as granules or sheets) through heating and mechanical action.

It usually plays a key role in plastic recycling, reprocessing and production.

Washed film typically retains up to 40% moisture, which can pose challenges for post-consumer recyclers.

Traditional horizontal dryers often struggle to effectively remove moisture from lightweight film scraps and flakes, leaving about 15-20% water content after drying.

This excessive moisture can lead to inconsistent feeding and reduced output in the pelletizing extruder.

The squeezer drying machine provides a fast and efficient solution, reducing moisture levels from 20-40% down to just 3-5%, thereby alleviating pressure on the recycling extruder.

This process generates less heat, resulting in reduced material degradation and higher quality, more reusable recycled pellets.

Additionally, it transforms film scraps into solid flakes with higher bulk density, reducing volume and enabling faster, easier, and more stable feeding into the recycling extruder.

Main function:

Extrusion: Heat plastic granules to a molten state and extrude plastic products of the densify through a die.

Dehydration: The squeezer can remove moisture from the plastic and improve the efficiency of pelletizing processing.

Mixing: Different types of plastics or additives can be mixed to improve their performance.

Main components:

Screw: 38CrMoAl Screw and Barrel, which responsible for pushing and mixing plastic raw materials.

Heating ring: Used to heat the screw and barrel to melt the plastic

Mold: Used to form products of specific shapes.

Control system: Monitor and adjust parameters such as temperature and pressure by PLC control system or control cabinet Application field

Machine Feature:

Integrated screw and barrel avoid broking easily than welded screw

Strong gear box offer enough stenfth for whole system 

Smart control with PLC touch screen and frequency inverter

Anti-blocking system for feeding part, which can avoid material block(anti-brige)

Output water content after plastic squeezer  is 3% to 5%
