Vacuum tumble dryer for plastic pellet
Italvacuum Srl

Italvacuum's Rotary Cylindrical Vacuum Dryers are primarily designed for drying, mixing and condensing operations in the manufacture of granulated plastic materials: chips, beads, slices, pellets, scraps, etc.
Their manufacturing specifications make them especially suitable for operations requiring a combination of high levels of vacuum and high heating temperatures, such as:
- Regrading of PET and PBT compounds
- Solid-state, post-condensation of PA6, PA6.6, PES, PET, PBT, PTT
- Drying of plastic granulates

Their skewed cylindrical shape and continuous rotation ensure the effective mixing of the product. The result is a uniform final blend in terms of both viscosity and residual humidity, which is greater than that achieved in continuous processes.
The action on the product is very delicate and light, so that mechanical shocks are avoided, limiting the creation of fine powders, as requested for this kind of production.
