[0002] Thermoplastic polyurethane materials will absorb moisture from the air during storage, making the raw material have a high moisture content. Using this raw material to produce injection molded products will cause apparent quality problems such as bubbles or streaks. Therefore, dehumidification and drying must be carried out before production. Plastic particles have poor heat resistance and are very easy to stick together during the drying process.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent publication number CN209580166U discloses a plastic particle dryer, including a drying cylinder, a fan, and a plastic particle collecting cylinder. The air outlet of the fan is connected to the drying cylinder through a pipeline, the pipeline is provided with a heater, the air outlet of the drying cylinder is connected to the air inlet of the plastic particle collecting cylinder, the air outlet of the plastic particle collecting cylinder is connected to the air inlet of the fan, and a particle filtering device is provided in the drying cylinder.
[0004] The above application removes dust from the hot air after drying the plastic particles, and then reheats it by the fan. However, in the prior art, there is only a single-layer drying cylinder. When drying in the single-layer drying cylinder, due to the slow flow rate of the hot air, the drying time needs to be extended accordingly, which affects the production efficiency and cannot thoroughly dry the plastic particles. At the same time, there is no stirring mechanism in the drying cylinder. In the absence of a stirring mechanism, the plastic particles are prone to form lumps, resulting in insufficient air flow and difficulty in heat transfer, which affects the drying effect.
