• Designed for pre-washed material (coming directly from washing lines) such as post-consumer PE film, PP woven, PP jumbo bags and agricultural film, in the form of flakes after washing.

• Reduces water moisture level down to 1 ~5 % from 10~35%.

• Turn film flakes into solid lumps – higher density, less volume results in faster, easier and more stable feeding to the extruder.

• Faster drying of washed film and woven waste compared to conventional drying method such as centrifugal drying or blow drying using hot air.

• The squeezing drying process generates less heat. This results in less material degradation, higher value and higher reusability of recycled pellets.

• Prepares the material for the extrusion-pelletizing process that follows.

• Increases output capacity and efficiency of the pelletizing extruder and the overall recycling process.

• Better pellets quality - after squeezing, the volume of the material goes down and the feeding to the pelletizing extruder becomes much easier and more consistent. As a result, the quality of the end product (recycled pellets) also improves.

• Maximizes output and when working in-line with the combination of the compactor-extruder-pelletizing type of recycling machine.

• Designed to fit between the washing line and plastic recycling extruder to increase output and efficiency.
Washing line → plastic squeezer dryer → plastic recycling extruder

• Generally, washed film can contain up to 40% moisture level and can be problematic for post-consumer recyclers. A typical vertical type dryer can not effectively remove the water moisture from the light-weighted film flakes and there is usually a 20-30% water moisture remaining in the material after drying. The excessive water content usually results in inconsistent feeding and low output in the recycling extruder.
The squeezer drying machine offers a fast and efficient way to reduce moisture level from 40% down to only 2~5%, preparing the material for extrusion-pelletizing process that follows.

• The specially designed short screw “squeezes” and presses out the remaining moisture out of the washed materials.

• The process generates less heating which results in less material degradation.

• The end product from the drying machines is in granule shape, which can be transported to the recycling pelletizing extruder easily.
