Patent ID: 11273577

Abstract:
The invention relates to a solution for reducing and removing moisture from plastic pellets by means of absorption and condensation, in which energy consumption is reduced and the process is simplified, making use of infrared wavelength efficiency, and comprising the following steps: 1. a supply phase using a dosing tank; 2. a distribution phase using a pellet levelling and dispensing device, a conveyor belt and a vibrating motor on the conveyor belt; 3. a moisture-removal phase using one or more infrared wave emitters disposed in parallel, a ventilated or cooled motor for a set of emitters, an air-recirculation passage for a set of emitters, an input temperature probe, an output temperature probe, and a moisture control probe; and 4. a discharge phase in which the material from which the moisture has been removed is discharged using a thermally-insulated collector tank.
