Centrifugal Dryer for Underwater Pelletizing
Units designed to improve reliability, reduce changeover time and improve product quality.
Maag’s new eXso centrifugal dryer reportedly has been designed to increase reliability, reduce changeover time and improve product quality. Its three-door housing, for example, allows greater access and visibility to the interior of the unit. This allows for faster and more effective cleaning and lowers the risk of cross-contamination.
eXso dryers are said to be ideal for compounders and recyclers who require a pellet drying step prior to packaging. Maag says the dryers have been tested and validated for rates up to 8200 kg/hr (18,077 lb/hr) and occupy 23% less floor space than previous designs.
Maag says the dryer was developed as a result of a focused effort to improve all aspects of its legacy dryers based on customer feedback. it maintaints it spent hundreds of hours validating the design and performance to ensure eXso exceeds the expectations of all customers, even those with demanding applications.
