Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of blower drying devices, and in particular to a blower drying device for an underwater EVA granulator that provides uniform drying effect. Background Technology

[0002] An underwater granulator is a machine that extrudes molten polymer through a die, then carries it out of the pelletizing chamber through a water system into a centrifugal drying system, ultimately achieving the granulation effect. The main function of an underwater granulator is to produce granular products suitable for secondary processing from resin raw materials. The working principle of an underwater granulator is as follows: molten polymer is pressurized through a twin-screw extruder, then passes through multiple channels in the die. Due to the decreasing diameter of the channels, the material is accelerated, and at the discharge end, it enters the granulation water chamber in a straight line through the die orifice. There, it is instantly cooled by granulation water at 50-70°C and then cut into granules by a high-speed rotary cutter attached to it. The granules are then transported to a centrifugal dryer for dehydration and drying via cooling water. The advantages of underwater granulators include environmental friendliness, uniform granulation, intelligent pelletizing, high efficiency, and low energy consumption. Compared with traditional granulation methods, underwater granulators have significant advantages, especially in terms of environmental protection and energy efficiency. The mixture of EVA granules and water produced by the underwater granulator needs to be separated and dried, which requires a blower drying device for the underwater EVA granulator. However, the existing blower drying devices for underwater EVA granulators generally have low drying efficiency and do not facilitate the rapid separation of water and EVA granules, thus affecting the drying effect.
