Centrifugal Dryer & Dewatering Machine for Plastic Flakes

This machine serves as the crucial first step in the drying process. It uses centrifugal force to mechanically remove the majority of surface water from plastic flakes, which is a very energy-efficient method before the final thermal drying stage.

A dewatering machine can typically reduce the moisture content of washed plastic flakes down to approximately 20-30%. This prepares the material perfectly for a thermal dryer to achieve final moisture levels of under 3%.

Yes, our innovative design allows it to also function as a friction washer. It uses cold water to simultaneously cool and further scrub the plastic flakes, helping to remove any remaining fine contaminants.

It is designed for washed plastic flakes such as PET, HDPE, PP and rigid mixed flakes, and it can also be used for washed film flakes. The best configuration depends on flake size, density and incoming moisture level.

Selection depends on your washing line throughput, incoming moisture and flake characteristics. Choose a model whose capacity matches your line and leaves headroom to avoid bottlenecks; we can recommend HXJ400/550/750 based on your material and target output.
