Category: IRD – Infrared dryer
Continuous heating, crystallization, drying and coating of a wide variety of plastics and other bulk materials in minutes instead of hours.

Heating. Crystallization. Drying.
Field of applications.
Heating.
Heating granules and regrind material prior to further processing (e.g. PVC, PE, PP,…) inter alia to improve the throughput in the extrusion.

Crystallization.
Crystallisation of PET (Bottleflakes, granules, flakes), PET masterbatch, co-PET, PBT, PEEK, PLA, PPS, etc.

Drying.
Drying of plastic granules, and –ground material (e.g. PET, PBT, ABS/PC, HDPE, LCP, PC, PP, PVB, WPC, TPE, TPU) as well as other free-flowing bulk materials.

Coating.
Coating of adhesives (e.g. Hot melt, EVA+lime,…)

High input moisture.
Drying processes with high input moisture >1%.

Diverse.
Thermal processes for the removal of rest oligomeren and volatile components.

Function IRD.
Infrared.
Heat into the core.
The energy is instantaneously brought into the core of the product by short-wave infrared radiation.

Inside to the outside.
The heat flow pushes the moisture from the inside towards the outside of the product.

Discharge moisture.
After the moisture has been released from the material it is directly discharged by the air circulation inside the machine.

Always in motion.

Rotation.
The rotation of the drum ensures constant movement of the material.

Evenly.
The spiral coils and mixing elements designed for your product ensure an optimal mix of material and avoids clumping. Your product is evenly heated.

Gently.
Due to the low rotation speed of the drum there is no dispersion of the material.
