Hikon Plastic Film Squeeze Dryer Machine

Introduction

The HIKON Plastic Film Squeeze Dryer Machine is engineered for recycling washed, wet LDPE, LLDPE, and HDPE film scraps. It efficiently removes 100% of moisture, eliminating the need for agglomeration, electric heater-based drying systems, and conventional mechanical drying methods. The result is dried, high-bulk-density film scrap ready for direct feeding into extrusion and pelletizing lines.

Output Range

• 150 kg/hr
• 300 kg/hr
• 500 kg/hr

Working Principle

1. Feeding– Wet plastic film scrap is loaded into the squeezer.
2. Compression– A heavy-duty screw compresses and squeezes the wet material, removing excess water.
3. Friction & Auxiliary Heating–

• Mechanical squeezing generates frictional heat.
• Integrated heaters ensure uniform and complete drying.

4. Discharge– Dried film scrap with near-zero moisture is discharged, ready for pelletizing or extrusion.

Key Features

• Moisture Removal– Delivers ~0% moisture output.
• No Agglomerator Needed– Saves energy and eliminates an extra processing step.
• Heater-Assisted Drying– Ensures faster and uniform drying.
• Energy Efficient– Lower operating costs compared to hot-air dryers.
• Improved Bulk Density– Enhances extrusion and pelletizing throughput.
• Rugged Design– Built for heavy-duty continuous operations.

Advantages

• Eliminates the need for costly hot-air dryers and agglomerators.
• Reduces electricity consumption per kg of output.
• Delivers consistent, dry, high-bulk-density film flakes.
• Increases overall productivity and granule quality.
• Compact and easy-to-install for recycling plants.
