Squeezing Dryer vs Centrifugal Dryer

Head-to-head comparison for plastic film recycling lines — one machine vs three.

KITECH JGM Squeezing Dryer (1 machine)
Centrifugal System (3 machines)
JGM Squeezing Dryer
Centrifugal System
Final Moisture Content
3–5%
Press-dried to pellet-ready standard
10–15%
Requires additional drying pass
Water Separation Rate
92–95%
Single-pass mechanical pressing
75–85%
Spin-dry efficiency depends on material
Machines Required
1
Squeezer replaces entire drying section
3
Dewater press + spin dryer + thermal dryer
Approximate Floor Space
~8 m²
Single compact unit footprint
~23 m²
3 machines + conveyors + clearance zones
System Energy (total line)
Lower overall
~0.10 kWh/kg mechanical pressing — no thermal drying needed
Higher overall
~0.06 kWh/kg spin + thermal dryer adds significant kW
Maintenance Interval
2000–3000 h
38CrMoAl screw, SKD-11 blades for long wear
500–1000 h
High-speed spinning parts wear faster
Noise Level
≤ 78 dB
Below typical factory noise thresholds
≥ 85 dB
High-speed drum — PPE often required
Key Material Spec
38CrMoAl + SKD-11
Nitride screw/barrel + tool steel blades + NSK bearings
Standard stainless
Typical 304/316 SS basket and drum

The 3-in-1 Advantage

  • One JGM unit replaces a dewatering press, centrifugal dryer, and thermal dryer simultaneously
  • Achieve pellet-ready 3–5% moisture in a single pass — no downstream drying stage required
  • Floor space reduced from ~23 m² to ~8 m²; 3× fewer maintenance schedules to manage
  • Longer 2000–3000 h service intervals cut unplanned downtime and spare-parts cost
  • Lower noise (≤78 dB) improves operator environment and may remove PPE obligations
