Product Description
The Horizontal Centrifugal Dryer is an essential drying and dewatering machine widely used in modern plastic recycling systems. Designed for efficient moisture removal from plastic films, flakes, and soft plastics, this machine significantly improves the drying performance and overall efficiency of recycling production lines.
At Chenxing Machinery, we manufacture industrial-grade horizontal centrifugal dryers engineered for continuous operation, high-speed dewatering, and low moisture output. Our drying systems are widely used in PET bottle recycling lines, PP/PE film washing lines, and plastic pelletizing systems worldwide.
In plastic recycling processes, washed materials often contain large amounts of water and detergent residue after:
Sink-float separation tanks
Friction washers
Hot washing systems
If excess moisture is not properly removed, it may cause:
Poor pelletizing quality
Extrusion instability
Increased energy consumption
Lower production efficiency
Material agglomeration
Final product defects
The horizontal centrifugal dryer plays a critical role by reducing moisture content before thermal drying or pelletizing stages.
Maintaining low moisture levels is essential for producing high-quality recycled plastic pellets and flakes.
Chenxing horizontal centrifugal dryers are widely used in:
Efficiently removes water from:
Agricultural films
Packaging films
Stretch films
Woven bags
Suitable for drying:
PET flakes
Washed bottle materials
Lightweight contaminants
Integrated after:
Friction washers
Sink-float tanks
Hot washing systems
Reduces moisture before:
Extrusion pelletizing
Granulation
Plastic compounding
The machine uses centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotor rotation to separate water from plastic materials.
The working process includes:
Wet plastic materials enter through the feeding inlet.
A high-speed rotor with slanted paddles drives materials horizontally.
Centrifugal force throws water outward through perforated screens.
Excess water drains from the bottom outlet.
Airflow helps transport dried materials to the next processing stage.
This continuous dewatering process enables fast moisture reduction while maintaining stable material flow.
The machine can reduce final moisture content to below 12%.
Strong centrifugal force rapidly removes water and cleaning chemicals from plastic materials.
Designed for stable 24-hour recycling plant production.
Heavy-duty rotor and wear-resistant internal components ensure long service life.
Detachable screen structure and pneumatically actuated access doors simplify maintenance and cleaning.
Suitable for:
PP films
PE films
PET flakes
Soft plastics
Plastic regrind materials
Installing a centrifugal dryer in recycling lines offers multiple operational benefits:
Improves downstream pelletizing efficiency
Reduces thermal drying energy consumption
Increases recycling line productivity
Enhances recycled material quality
Prevents extrusion defects caused by moisture
Supports continuous automated production
For modern recycling plants, efficient dewatering systems are critical for stable and profitable operation.
The horizontal centrifugal dryer is commonly installed after:
Friction washer
Floating washing tank
Hot washer
and before:
Thermal dryer
Squeeze dryer
Pelletizing extruder
Storage silo
This configuration ensures the recycling line achieves optimal moisture reduction and stable production performance.
Chenxing Machinery has over 20 years of experience manufacturing plastic recycling and extrusion equipment.
We provide customized machine configurations based on:
Material type
Moisture level
Production capacity
Factory layout
Every dryer system is tested before shipment to ensure reliable industrial performance.
Our team provides:
Installation guidance
Process optimization
Technical consultation
After-sales service
