Plastic Dewatering Machine’s 2 Types: Vertical and Horizontal

plastic dewatering machine

Plastic dewatering machine is an indispensable piece of equipment in modern industrial production, which is used to completely dry out the water of plastic products in the production process, in order to improve product quality and production efficiency. In the market, the common plastic dewatering machine is divided into two main types: vertical type dewatering machine and horizontal dewatering machine. In this article, we will introduce and compare these two types in detail, and at the same time, provide you with a practical guide to buying a plastic dewatering machine.

Vertical type dewatering machine

Vertical type dewatering machine is a kind of equipment to remove water by centrifugal force in the process of high-speed rotation by placing plastic products in vertical drum. It has the following characteristics:

  • Efficient drying capacity: The vertical drum design of the vertical type dewatering machine can maximize the use of centrifugal force, so as to quickly dry the plastic products in a short period of time.
  • Energy saving and environmental protection: Due to the short drying time, energy consumption is relatively low, which helps to reduce production costs and environmental impact.
  • Wide range of applications: Plastic vertical dryers are suitable for small to medium-sized production of plastic products, such as plastic films, etc.
  • Easy to operate: Relatively simple to use, with no need for complex operating skills.

Horizontal dewatering machine

The horizontal dewatering machine removes water from plastic products by rotating them in a horizontally rotating drum. Its features are as follows:

  • Uniform drying effect: By rotating horizontally, the horizontal dewatering machine can achieve a more uniform drying effect, which is suitable for some plastic products that require a high drying effect.
  • Larger capacity: Due to its horizontal design, the horizontal dryer is usually suitable for drying large quantities of plastic products.
  • Wide range of applications: Horizontal dryers are suitable for a wide range of plastic products of various specifications and sizes, including larger sizes of plastic bottles and drums.
  • Process Optimization: For certain plastic products that require fine process control, the horizontal dryer can provide more operating space and parameter adjustment.

Selection and application of plastic dewatering machine

Selecting the right plastic dewatering machine is critical to the production of plastic products. Here are some considerations:

  1. Production requirements: If you need to dry large quantities of plastic products, a horizontal dewatering machine may be more suitable. For small batches, a vertical dryer may be more economical.
  2. Effectiveness: If you need a higher level of effectiveness, a horizontal dryer may be more suitable, but may also increase the cost.
  3. Process control: If you need finer process control, a horizontal dryer may offer more adjustment options.
  4. Space constraints: Given the space constraints of your production site, it is important to select the right size of plastic dewatering machine.
