Vertical Mixing Dryer
The ultimate auxiliary machine for your production line. Our vertical mixing dryer expertly dries, blends, and colors plastic granules in one efficient, space-saving unit, ensuring a consistent, high-quality feed for your extruders and injection molders.
Streamline Your Material Preparation
Replace multiple machines with a single, highly efficient solution designed to improve your workflow, save energy, and deliver perfectly prepared materials every time.
Simultaneous Drying & Mixing
This dual-purpose workhorse combines hot air drying with continuous blending, ensuring granules are both moisture-free and perfectly homogenized with colorants or masterbatch in a single cycle.
Uniform & Consistent Results
The unique spiral lifting and centrifugal dispersing action guarantees that every granule is evenly exposed to heat and mixed thoroughly, eliminating clumps and color inconsistencies.
Energy-Efficient Design
Features a dual-layer insulated barrel and an efficient hot air blower to minimize heat loss, significantly reducing energy consumption compared to separate drying and mixing units.
The Working Principle
Lifting
A central screw auger gently lifts plastic granules from the bottom to the top of the stainless steel barrel.
Mixing
At the top, centrifugal force disperses the granules in an "umbrella" pattern, cascading them down for a thorough mix.
Drying
Simultaneously, precisely heated air blows upwards, efficiently removing moisture from the cascading granules.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this machine mix and dry at the same time?
Yes, that is its primary advantage. The machine circulates the plastic granules mechanically for mixing while simultaneously blowing precisely heated air through them for drying. This dual action happens in a single, efficient cycle, saving time, space, and energy.
What types of plastic materials is this dryer suitable for?
This machine is ideal for a wide variety of plastic granules and pellets, including PP, PE, PVC, ABS, PS, and more. It is perfect for blending virgin material with masterbatch, colorants, or regrind, and for pre-drying materials before extrusion or injection molding.
How is the temperature controlled?
The system is equipped with a PID intelligent temperature controller. This allows you to set a precise target temperature for the drying process. The controller automatically manages the stainless steel heating elements to maintain that temperature accurately throughout the cycle.
