Plastic film flash airflow dryer: 45% down to 2%

Challenge

The plastic film carried surface water (45%). Dewatering had to be thorough while the film, which deforms and sticks when heated, stayed within a temperature range that does not harm its form.

Solution

Flash airflow drying with the inlet temperature kept clear of the film deformation range for fast dewatering. Air volume and temperature were tuned at the trial run, with matched dust collection.

Result

Film moisture reached about 2%, with the form intact and no sticking.

Flash Airflow Dryer

Capacity varies with operating conditions and is confirmed by a trial run; parameters fixed by machine size, such as air volume, can be stated precisely.

Related questions

Flash airflow dryer or rotary dryer: which one?

The two have different structures and suit different duties:

Flash airflow dryer

It dewaters through brief contact between high-temperature air and the material. Drying is fast, which suits inorganic salts and chemical powders that need rapid dewatering. Sizes are Φ220, Φ280, Φ325, Φ400, Φ500 and Φ600.

Rotary dryer

The rotating drum tumbles the material for more even heating. It suits sawdust, plastic pellets and flake materials that do not break up while tumbling.

How to decide

Look at the material form and whether it is sticky. Powders and fast-dewatering duties point to flash airflow; granular or flake materials needing even heating point to rotary. The moisture content and target final moisture still have to be considered.
