The High Cost of Wet Film
- Washed film holds up to ~40% moisture, making direct pelletizing difficult.
- Traditional dryers are inefficient and still leave 20-30% moisture.
- Wet, fluffy material causes unstable feeding and extruder clogging.
The Squeezer Dryer Solution
- Mechanical pressure squeezes water out efficiently, reaching under 5% moisture.
- Film is densified into compact lumps for consistent extruder feeding.
- Replaces multiple drying steps with one high-performance machine.
Operating Sequence
1. Feeding
Wet washed film or woven bag scrap enters the hopper.
2. Squeezing
A high-torque screw pushes material through a perforated barrel.
3. Dehydration
Water is expelled through perforations down to low residual moisture.
4. Densification
Material is compacted into high-density lumps by frictional heat.
5. Discharge
Output is ready for direct feeding into pelletizing equipment.
Performance Advantages
Efficient Moisture Reduction
Reduces 10-35% moisture down to 1-5% for stable downstream processing.
Density and Volume Optimization
Transforms loose film into dense lumps for faster, consistent feeding.
Minimized Heat and Degradation
Low thermal load preserves polymer quality and pellet value.
Higher Extruder Efficiency
Boosts pelletizing throughput through stable feed behavior.
Improved Pellet Quality
Drier, denser input reduces defects like bubbles and voids.
Extrusion-ready Output
Optimally prepares material for compactor-extruder pelletizing lines.

Downstream Applications
High-quality Pellet Production
Densified lumps provide a stable feedstock for premium-grade PE/PP pellets.
Injection Molded Products
Pellets are suitable for pallets, crates, and many industrial molded parts.
New Film and Bag Extrusion
High-quality pellets can be used in new non-food-grade film and bag products.

User Feedback
We replaced our old centrifugal dryer with this squeezer and output increased by nearly 30% because feeding became much more stable.
Pellet quality improved dramatically. We no longer see voids and bubbles caused by excess moisture.
One machine now handles both dewatering and densifying with lower energy use. The ROI was clear from the beginning.
