Hopper Dryer is a hot air drying machine used to remove moisture from plastic raw material (granules) before processing.Moisture-free material gives:
Better surface finish
No bubbles / silver streaks
Strong final product
- Working Principle (Technical)
Hopper Dryer works on Hot Air Circulation System:
Air is heated by electric heaters
Hot air is circulated through plastic granules
Moisture evaporates and exits through air outlet
Dry granules fall directly into machine hopper
�� Typical drying temperature:
ABS / PP / HDPE : 80–100°C
Nylon : 120–160°C
PET : 160–180°C
