Plastic crystallizer CR series

dryer

Overview
The CR Series crystallizing systems convert amorphous PET to a crystalline state so the material can be dried at elevated temperatures without agglomeration. The systems are intended for efficient reuse of amorphous regrind PET and for integration with material handling and drying equipment.

Key functions and features

• Converts amorphous PET into crystalline material suitable for high-temperature drying
• Continuous, automatic operation with automatic monitoring of hopper temperature to ensure consistent output
• Available configurations for in-line crystallizing (direct discharge into processing) or batch crystallizing (storage for later use)
• Agitating insulated hopper with agitator blades and stationary bars to provide constant tumbling and prevent agglomeration
• Rotary discharge valve for controlled discharge of crystallized material

Frequently Asked Questions (highlights)

• Continuous, automatic operation: Automatic monitoring of the hopper temperature ensures reliable output of consistent crystallized material.
• Configuration options: Choose in-line crystallizing for direct discharge into processing or batch crystallizing for storage and later reuse.
• Agitating hopper prevents agglomeration: Agitator blades and stationary bars provide constant tumbling to break apart clumps during processing.

Applications
Designed for PET processing operations where reuse of amorphous regrind is required and drying at elevated temperatures is needed without risk of agglomeration. Suitable for extrusion, injection molding feedstock preparation, and other high-temperature drying workflows.
