Product Description

High-Efficiency Dewatering Solution for Plastic Recycling Lines

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.

Why Horizontal Centrifugal Dryers Are Important in Plastic Recycling

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.


Main Applications of Horizontal Centrifugal Dryers

Chenxing horizontal centrifugal dryers are widely used in:

PP/PE Film Recycling Lines

Efficiently removes water from:

  • Agricultural films

  • Packaging films

  • Stretch films

  • Woven bags


PET Bottle Recycling Lines

Suitable for drying:

  • PET flakes

  • Washed bottle materials

  • Lightweight contaminants


Plastic Washing Lines

Integrated after:

  • Friction washers

  • Sink-float tanks

  • Hot washing systems


Plastic Pelletizing Systems

Reduces moisture before:

  • Extrusion pelletizing

  • Granulation

  • Plastic compounding



Working Principle of the Horizontal Centrifugal Dryer

The machine uses centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotor rotation to separate water from plastic materials.

The working process includes:

  1. Wet plastic materials enter through the feeding inlet.

  2. A high-speed rotor with slanted paddles drives materials horizontally.

  3. Centrifugal force throws water outward through perforated screens.

  4. Excess water drains from the bottom outlet.

  5. Airflow helps transport dried materials to the next processing stage.

This continuous dewatering process enables fast moisture reduction while maintaining stable material flow.

Advantages of Using a Horizontal Centrifugal Dryer

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.


Integration in Plastic Recycling Production Lines

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.
