In the realm of plastic injection molding, a crucial piece of auxiliary equipment is the plastic squeezer. Its primary role is to eliminate moisture from plastic particles, thereby preventing issues like bubbles and deformities during the molding process. This ensures the overall quality of the final product. Selecting the right plastic injection molding dryers is vital for enhancing production efficiency and maintaining product standards.
Understand The Functionality Of A Plastic Squeezer
Before selecting a model, it's essential to grasp the working principle of a plastic squeezer. Simply put, these dryers use electricity to heat air and circulate it to evaporate moisture from plastic particles. Once the particles reach the desired dryness, the operation ceases.
Choose The Type Of Plastic Squeezer
There are generally two types of plastic squeezers: Standard and energy-saving models, each with distinct characteristics.
●Standard dryers: These feature basic structural components, typically using single-layer iron sheet hoppers. They are cost-effective but tend to consume more energy.
●Energy-saving dryers: Incorporating advanced energy-efficient drying technology, these models prioritize power savings. They boast double-layer stainless steel hoppers with insulation, efficient heating systems for rapid temperature adjustment, and superior insulation capabilities.
Assess Capacity Requirements
Select a dryer based on your production scale and plastic consumption. Smaller operations may suffice with a compact dryer, while larger-scale production might necessitate multiple, larger-capacity units. Tailor your choice to fit your specific needs.
Evaluate Drying Efficiency
Efficiency directly impacts production output. Factors such as drying time, energy consumption, and uniform drying should influence your decision-making process.
Consider Automation Features
Modern plastic film dryer machine often come equipped with automated functionalities like temperature control. Assess whether these features align with your production demands.
Evaluate Durability And Maintenance
Needs to opt for a plastic film dryer machine known for durability and ease of maintenance. This minimizes downtime and reduces maintenance costs over time.
Budget And Cost Considerations
Balance your budget with the long-term operational costs of the equipment. Factor in energy consumption and maintenance expenses to ensure cost-effective performance.
Prioritize After-sales Support
Choose a dryer from a supplier offering reliable after-sales service. Prompt installation, troubleshooting, and ongoing support are crucial for uninterrupted production.
By carefully considering these factors, you can select a injection moulding machine hopper dryer that not only meets your immediate needs but also supports long-term efficiency and productivity goals.
Working Principle of Plastic Squeezer
The plastic squeezer operates by taking in washed film which is then subjected to a squeezing and agitating process within its robustly constructed chamber. Through the motion generated by the machine’s rotor, the film undergoes intense squeezing which results in the substantial reduction of moisture content. Concurrently, the machine facilitates the granulation of the film, transforming it into a state ready for the next phase of the recycling process.
Within the operational chamber, the strategic placement of blades ensures that the film is adequately granulated while the squeezing action is taking place. This dual action of drying and granulating is what sets the plastic squeezer apart from conventional drying systems.
What Factors Affect the Results of Plastic Squeezer
Dew point
The temperature at which the air becomes saturated with moisture. Accurately measuring the dew point prevents condensation during drying.
Set temperature
Affects the performance of the dehumidifier and can also have an impact on material properties, e.G. For advanced materials such as bioplastics.
Drying time
When it is too long, it carries the risk of thermal, physical or chemical degradation of the material. In addition, it has an impact on process organisation.
Air flow rate
When it is adjustable according to material specifications, it allows a more accurate and efficient drying.
Material type and shape
Influence the specific drying used strategies.
Initial and final humidity
To correctly set the drying parameters, it is important to both measure the moisture present in the material at the beginning of the process and to determine the desired final moisture content.
The choice of the ideal plastic dryer has to be determined by the balance between these factors.

How Does Plastic Squeezer Improve Post-Consumer Plastic Film Recycling?
In post-consumer plastic recycling, pre-washed film waste coming directly from the washing line contains a very high percentage of moisture that is difficult to reduce using traditional drying machines. Even after the drying process, the excessive water that remains in the light-weight plastic film flakes results in inconsistent feeding and low output in the plastic extruders.
One of the better solutions to improve the drying process is to use the plastic squeezer dryer. It offers a fast and efficient way to reduce moisture levels from 40% down to only 2-5%, which better prepares the plastic material for the extrusion-pelletizing process that follows. First, the specially designed short screw “squeezes” and presses out the remaining moisture out of the washed plastic materials. Second, it converts the lightweight plastic film flakes into a heavier, granule-shaped form, which then can be transported to the plastic extruder more easily and consistently.
The plastic squeezer dryer is designed to fit between the washing line and plastic recycling extruder to improve the overall recycling process, which includes: Higher output capacity, higher efficiency, better pellets quality. Best when used with cutter-compactor plastic recycling extruder. According to many of our customers’ feedback, the plastic squeezer dryer works best together with the cutter-compactor integrated recycling extruder, as the compactor further stabilizes the feeding into the plastic recycling machine.
