The Vertical Centrifugal Dryer by Chenxing Recycling Machinery achieves ultra-low moisture rates (<1%) for rigid plastic flakes and granules through high-speed centrifugal dewatering (1200-2500 RPM). Engineered with stainless steel contact parts and quick-release screens, this industrial spin dryer removes residual detergents and water 30% faster than belt systems. Its upward-slanted paddle rotor forces materials through interchangeable mesh screens, while anti-clog water jets ensure continuous operation for PET/PP recycling lines. Designed for post-washing stages (sink-float tanks/friction washers), the CE-certified dryer features snap-open access panels for <3-minute maintenance and FDA-compliant material handling. Customize with thermal drying modules to reach <0.5% moisture – ideal for pelletizing systems. Backed by 20+ years of expertise, Chenxing’s modular design integrates seamlessly with granulators, offering energy-efficient solutions that reduce power costs by 35% versus conventional dryers.
1. What is the purpose of a vertical centrifugal dryer in a plastic recycling line?
A vertical centrifugal dryer is primarily used to remove excess moisture from plastic flakes or pellets after washing. It uses centrifugal force and airflow to quickly dry materials, making them suitable for extrusion, pelletizing, or packaging.
2. What plastic materials can be dried with this machine?
The dryer is compatible with a wide range of materials, including:
PE and PP film flakes
PET bottle flakes
HDPE/LDPE regrind
ABS, PS, PVC rigid flakes
Pellets from granulating lines
3. How does a vertical centrifugal dryer work?
Washed material is fed into a rotating vertical drum with perforated walls. As the drum spins at high speed, water is expelled through the holes by centrifugal force, while hot or ambient air flows through the material to aid evaporation and final drying.
4. What are the key benefits of vertical design?
Space-saving structure—ideal for limited floor area
Efficient gravity feeding and discharging
Simpler material flow in vertically stacked recycling lines
Lower installation cost compared to horizontal setups
5. What is the final moisture content after drying?
Depending on the material and setup, the final moisture content can be reduced to less than 2%, which is suitable for direct extrusion or compounding processes.
