Plastic Bottle Flakes Thermal Dryer: Complete Guide to Final Drying Systems
Thermal dryers serve as the final drying stage in PET bottle recycling, reducing moisture from 15-30% to below 1%. Using hot air circulation through stainless steel tubing, these systems prepare clean flakes for extrusion and pelletizing. Proper thermal drying prevents steam formation during melting and enables access to premium food-contact markets.
