PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
The Horizontal Centrifugal Dryer by Chenxing Recycling Machinery delivers industrial-grade dewatering for plastic films and soft materials, achieving <12% moisture rates through high-speed centrifugal force. Featuring stainless steel construction and pneumatic access doors, this spin dryer removes detergents and water with 30% faster drying than conventional models. Its slanted paddle rotor (800-1500 RPM) forces materials through interchangeable screens, while anti-clog water jets maintain peak efficiency. Designed for post-washing lines (sink-float tanks/friction washers), the corrosion-resistant dryer enables continuous operation with <5-minute screen swaps and FDA-compliant material contact. Customize with thermal drying add-ons to reach <5% residual moisture for pelletizing. Backed by 20+ years of recycling expertise, Chenxing’s modular design integrates seamlessly with granulators, offering CE-certified solutions for PP/PE film recovery and soft plastic purification – reducing energy costs by 25% versus belt dryers.

PRODUCTS DETAILS
FAQ
1. What is the main purpose of a horizontal centrifugal dryer in plastic recycling?
This dryer is used to remove surface moisture from cleaned plastic flakes or pellets using high-speed centrifugal force. It’s typically installed after the hot washing or friction washing stage in a plastic washing line.
2. What types of plastics can be dried using this machine?
The dryer is suitable for:
-
PE and PP film flakes
-
Rigid plastic flakes (HDPE, LDPE, PET, ABS)
-
Regrind from bottles, containers, and pipes
-
Pellets from extrusion or pelletizing lines
3. How does the horizontal centrifugal dryer work?
Wet plastic material enters a rotating stainless-steel drum with a perforated surface. As the drum spins at high speed, water is forced out through the holes via centrifugal force, while an airflow system further accelerates drying.
4. What are the advantages of using a horizontal design over vertical?
-
Better feeding performance for lightweight film flakes
-
Lower height makes it easier to integrate into compact lines
-
More stable operation for continuous production
-
Easier access for cleaning and maintenance
5. What is the typical drying efficiency?
Moisture content can be reduced to below 2%, depending on material type, speed, and initial moisture level. In many cases, final products can go directly into extrusion or pelletizing without additional drying.
