[0024] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4The rotating shaft 8 is inserted into the housing 1 from top to bottom. A lever made of rubber is installed on the lower side of the stirring shaft 801. The lever extends into the material receiving area 701. When the motor 9 drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate, the lever passing over the stirring shaft 801 can stir the plastic granules in the material receiving area 701, thereby allowing the plastic granules in the material receiving area 701 to be heated evenly and improving the drying efficiency. The rotating shaft 8 passes through the slot 702 at one end of the center of the drying tray 7, and the slot 702 opened on the drying tray 7 does not obstruct the rotation of the rotating shaft 8. One end of the serpentine diversion pipe 6 passes through the side wall of the housing 1 and is connected to the hot air pipe 5. A drying tray 7 is set below each serpentine diversion pipe 6. The air outlets 601 on the serpentine diversion pipe 6 facing the drying tray 7 are evenly distributed above the drying tray 7, ensuring that the hot air can fully contact the plastic granules on each layer of the drying tray 7, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the equipment for plastic granules.
