Fluidised Bed Dryers and Hot Thermal Units

TECNOFER’s Thermal Dryer is a high-efficiency system designed to reduce moisture content in plastic flakes and regrind to optimal levels for extrusion or pelletising. Utilising a combination of hot air circulation and advanced drying technology, the system ensures uniform heat distribution and thorough moisture removal. The process involves suspending the plastic material in a controlled stream of hot air within a specially designed stainless steel cyclone system, achieving precise and consistent drying results.

The Thermal (Fluidised Bed) Dryer is energy-efficient, with optimised airflow and temperature controls that minimise energy consumption while delivering high throughput. Its modular design allows for seamless integration into existing recycling lines. Built for durability and low maintenance, it is suitable for processing various types of plastics, including PET, HDPE, and PP. This advanced drying solution ensures superior material preparation, supporting efficient and sustainable plastics recycling operations.

TECNOFER’s Hot Treatment Unit (HTU) is a specialised system designed for the intensive cleaning and decontamination of hard plastic flakes, including PET, HDPE, PP, ABS, and PVC. By utilising controlled thermal and chemical treatments, the HTU effectively removes stubborn contaminants such as glue, oil, and grease, ensuring high-quality material preparation for further recycling processes.

The system operates with a precisely managed combination of temperature, residence time, and detergent dosing, allowing for optimal cleaning tailored to specific material requirements. The HTU’s robust construction ensures consistent performance, while its energy-efficient design minimises water and energy usage. With advanced electronic controls and seamless integration into existing recycling lines, the HTU is an indispensable solution for achieving superior cleaning results in modern plastics recycling operations.
