Advanced vacuum air dryer for pelletizing strands
In high-quality pellet production, removing cooling water from strands before cutting is crucial. Traditional air knives can leave residual water, leading to issues like water splashing on the plant floor, thus complicating the drying process.
Efficiently remove water with vacuum air technology
The XVAK Series Vacuum Air Dryer from Bay Plastics Machinery is a sophisticated solution for strand drying in pelletizing applications. This system uses negative air pressure to remove residual water, unlike conventional air knives that rely on pressurized air. The vacuum head and strand comb design efficiently pulls water from all areas of the strand. Unlike traditional air knives, the XVAK system collects and directs the water either back into the process or to a drain. It features a filter-less water separation process, reducing maintenance time and eliminating the cost of filters. Made of stainless steel, the XVAK air dryer is resistant to corrosion. Optional features include a sound enclosure for quieter operation, a quick-change strand comb for easy adaptation, and a variable speed drive for precise control in micro pellet applications.
