Pellet dryer for industrial recycling applications

Ensure precise moisture control for recycled plastic pellets and flakes with high-speed drying, enhancing the quality and consistency of your final product.

Dries and Separates Plastic Pellets and Flakes

The ECON Pellet Dryer S+L series offers efficient solutions for moisture reduction in recycling and plastic processing industries. Featuring a gearless drive for maintenance-free operation, the centrifugal drying system achieves residual humidities between 0.1 and 0.5%. With throughput capacities ranging from 500 to 10,000 kg/hr, it addresses the demands of continuous, high-speed operations. The S+L models integrate seamlessly in standalone setups or with ECON’s water treatment systems, ensuring optimal performance across various materials such as plastic pellets, PET flakes, and HDPE regrinds. Optional features include sound insulation and explosion-proof designs, providing enhanced safety and customization to meet specific industry needs.
