This plastic hopper dryer, primarily utilized for plastic dry, employs high-speed heater and blower to swiftly turn plastic particles or resin powder within the exhaust pipe. 

This can aids in rapid evaporation and frictional heating, effectively drying the material while achieving the desired drying. 

Let's delve into key usage points and precautions provided by Wensui group.

1:Conduct a Dry Test Run: Prior to operation, ensure all connections, lubrication levels in high-speed devices, and electrical integrity are verified. 

Perform a dry test by turning on the main switch and powering the machine.

2:Empty Operation Test: Before commencing production, ensure no abnormal noises or undesired occurrences during the machine's operation.

3:Material Handling: Use bamboo or wood tools, not hands, to scrape materials from the barrel wall to prevent injury.

4:Immediate Action on Abnormalities: Any abnormal vibrations or noises during operation require immediate cessation and a comprehensive inspection.

5:Optimal Operating Load: Monitor motor load; a 380V motor's heavy-load current for plastic mixing should not exceed 6 amps. Adjust mixing capacity if load limits are exceeded.

6:Shaft Seal Maintenance: Keep mixing paddle shaft seals clean to prevent material deterioration, avoiding clogging and back pressure within the machine.

7:Managerial Awareness: Managers should possess thorough technical understanding, operational knowledge, and familiarity with the internal structure and control principles of 

plastic dryers. Avoid leaving the working location during operation to prevent machine damage.


Functions of Plastic hopper Dryers:

The side section of a plastic hopper dryer features a electric heater for hot air. Vacuum tube interfaces connect to vacuum autoloader equipment, 

accompanied by gauges and various materials placed on the drying hopper. 

This process involves heating the box to a specific temperature, followed by controlled cooling. 

The drying requirements are met by manipulating valves, extracting moisture, and generating dry air to reduce indoor humidity.

Operational Benefits:

The plastic dehumidification dryer facilitates material type changes and multi-color material combinations, automating the coloring process. 

It efficiently regenerates and utilizes injection nozzle cold material, controls feeding equipment, and enhances injection molding workshop efficiency, significantly reducing labor costs. 

Moreover, central feeding methods optimize space, reduce standalone equipment, cut electricity consumption, and decrease maintenance expenses.
