Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic pellet processing technology, specifically a device for drying recycled plastic pellets. Background Technology
[0002] Recycled pellets are short for recycled plastic pellets. Recycled plastic pellets belong to the category of plastic pellets. Recycled plastic is plastic produced by recycling used new materials or waste plastics through a screw press, and then cutting it into pellets through a pelletizer.
[0003] Recycled plastics are prone to absorbing moisture during recycling and processing. The presence of moisture can cause bubbles to form during the melting process, thus affecting the quality of the final product. Furthermore, dried plastic granules have better fluidity in the molten state. However, existing recycled plastic granule drying technologies use heating or blowing to dry the granules. Since there are many recycled plastic granules and they are all piled together, this can lead to insufficient drying. Moisture may still be present at the bottom and top of the plastic granules in the middle of the pile, which can affect the subsequent use of the plastic granules.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a device for drying recycled plastic pellets to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for drying recycled plastic pellets to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the end of the first spiral conveyor rod away from the feed box passes through the drying box and is fixedly connected to a drive gear; the end of the second spiral conveyor rod away from the discharge box passes through the drying box and is fixedly connected to a driven gear; the drive gear and the driven gear are rotatably connected and both are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the drying box; a servo motor is fixedly connected to one end of the upper surface of the bottom plate; a transmission rod is fixedly connected to the power output end of the servo motor and the transmission rod is fixedly connected to the drive gear.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the upper surface of the drying box is covered with a cover plate, one end of the upper surface of the cover plate is connected to a hot air blower, the output end of the hot air blower is fixedly connected to a main air supply pipe, the bottom end of the main air supply pipe is fixedly connected to multiple sets of branch air supply pipes, and the output ends of the multiple sets of branch air supply pipes all penetrate the cover plate.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the lower end face of the pretreatment tank is provided with a discharge port, the bottom end of the discharge port is fixedly connected to a feeding pipe, the other end of the feeding pipe is connected to the feeding box, multiple sets of reciprocating mixing plates are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod and all the reciprocating mixing plates are located inside the pretreatment tank, a second pulley is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod, a first pulley is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod, and a drive belt is movably engaged between the first pulley and the second pulley.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the driving gear meshes with the driven gear.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] Equipped with a mixing and drying mechanism, the design of multiple reciprocating mixing plates effectively and evenly tumbles the recycled plastic granules, ensuring that each granule is heated and dried uniformly. The use of heating wires rapidly increases the temperature inside the pretreatment tank, shortens drying time, and improves processing efficiency. Effective pretreatment removes impurities and moisture. The conveying and drying mechanism, with its drive and driven gears powering the first and second spiral conveyor rods, evenly transports the recycled plastic granules, preventing granule accumulation and retention. The application of a hot air blower ensures full circulation of hot air, effectively improving drying efficiency and ensuring that the plastic granules reach the required dryness level in a short time. This helps reduce the moisture content of the recycled plastic, providing more suitable raw materials for subsequent processing steps (such as melt extrusion and injection molding).
