drying system?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It is a continuous unit that uses heated airflow to convey mechanically dewatered plastic flakes or regrind through a pipeline and remove residual wash water. A cyclone separates the material from the air at the outlet. In PET and rigid-plastic washing lines, it follows centrifugal or other mechanical dewatering.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What materials work best with this system?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Typical applications include PET bottle flakes, HDPE and PP regrind, and other suitable washed rigid plastics. For ABS or mixed rigid streams, confirm polymer composition and temperature limits. Particle size, shape, inlet moisture and throughput determine the appropriate heating, airflow and pipeline configuration.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What final moisture can I expect?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A target below 2% outlet moisture may be achievable at this washing-line stage under suitable conditions. The result depends on the material, inlet moisture, throughput, airflow, temperature and pipeline configuration. This target is not a universal PET melt-processing moisture specification. Confirm the required feed moisture and any additional drying or vacuum-processing stage with the downstream equipment supplier.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do I size the system for my washing line?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Share your polymer type, material photos and particle size, target capacity (kg\/h), inlet moisture after mechanical dewatering, required outlet moisture and downstream process. We use these details to select heating power, airflow and pipeline length and diameter. The 72 kW heater, 11 kW blower and 30-meter pipeline are a reference configuration; rated power is not measured energy consumption. Our thermal dryer uses the same hot-air conveying and drying principle, with alternative reference specifications to compare for your project.\"}}]},{\"@type\":\"VideoObject\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.energycle.com\/drying-systems\/thermal-dryer-for-plastic-recycling\/#video\",\"name\":\"Thermal Dryer & Pipeline Hot Air Drying System in Operation\",\"description\":\"Watch the pipeline hot air drying system operating in a real plastic recycling production line, drying PET flakes and HDPE regrind.\",\"thumbnailUrl\":[\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/e6zDRf9jHQI\/hq720.jpg\"],\"embedUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e6zDRf9jHQI\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=e6zDRf9jHQI\",\"uploadDate\":\"2025-02-16T07:39:46+00:00\"}]}<\/script>\n\n<script>\n(function () {\n    function initVideoContainers() {\n        var wraps = document.querySelectorAll('.energycle-video-container');\n        wraps.forEach(function (wrap) {\n            function loadVideo() {\n                var id = wrap.getAttribute('data-video-id');\n                if (!id || wrap.dataset.loaded === '1') return;\n                wrap.dataset.loaded = '1';\n                var title = wrap.getAttribute('data-video-title') || 'Video';\n                var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');\n                iframe.setAttribute('title', title);\n                iframe.setAttribute('allow', 'accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share');\n                iframe.setAttribute('allowfullscreen', '');\n                iframe.setAttribute('loading', 'eager');\n                iframe.setAttribute('referrerpolicy', 'strict-origin-when-cross-origin');\n                iframe.referrerPolicy = 'strict-origin-when-cross-origin';\n                iframe.src = 'https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/' + id + '?autoplay=1&rel=0&playsinline=1';\n                if (wrap.replaceChildren) {\n                    wrap.replaceChildren(iframe);\n                } else {\n                    wrap.innerHTML = '';\n                    wrap.appendChild(iframe);\n                }\n            }\n            var btn = wrap.querySelector('button');\n            if (btn) {\n                btn.addEventListener('click', function (e) {\n                    e.stopPropagation();\n                    loadVideo();\n                }, { once: true });\n            }\n            wrap.addEventListener('click', function () {\n                loadVideo();\n            }, { once: true });\n        });\n    }\n    if (document.readyState === 'loading') {\n        document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', initVideoContainers);\n    } else {\n        initVideoContainers();\n    }\n})();\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Na\u0161e termick\u00e1 su\u0161i\u010dka je vysoce \u00fa\u010dinn\u00e9 \u0159e\u0161en\u00ed ur\u010den\u00e9 pro linky na recyklaci plastov\u00fdch f\u00f3li\u00ed a PET.
