Gentle Mechanical Drying System
The Lindner Step Dryer is a mechanical drying unit specifically designed for the gentle and efficient dewatering of sensitive plastic materials. It is particularly suitable for lightweight and fragile fractions such as PE and PP films, where preserving material integrity is essential.
Through a multi-stage rotational process, the Step Dryer gradually increases mechanical action, ensuring effective moisture removal while minimizing stress on the material.
Key Features
- Multi-stage drying principle, with progressively increasing rotor speed for controlled treatment.
- Gentle material handling, ideal for sensitive and lightweight plastic fractions.
- Efficient mechanical dewatering, reducing residual moisture before final drying.
- Wear-resistant stainless-steel construction, designed for wet and abrasive environments.
- Continuous process design, ensuring stable integration into plastic washing lines.
Operational Advantages
- Reduced material degradation, preserving flake quality and limiting fines generation.
- Improved efficiency of downstream drying systems, as moisture content is already significantly lowered.
- Stable process flow, even with lightweight and flexible materials.
- Optimized energy use, lowering overall plant drying requirements.
Why Step Dryer is Strategic in Plastic Washing LinesThe Step Dryer plays a crucial role when processing delicate plastic fractions that could be damaged by aggressive mechanical treatment. Its gradual drying action protects material structure while ensuring effective dewatering. This results in higher recyclate quality, improved process stability and reduced energy consumption across the washing line.
