PELLET DRYER SYSTEM The Pellet Drying Process takes place in four stages: Agglomerate removal prevents agglomerates greater than 1/2" (12.7 mm) from entering the SpinAway Dryer and damaging the rotor blades and screens. Dewatering removes 90% to 95% of the water which reduces dryer load and increases input rates. SpinAway Dryer removes surface moisture from pellets or recycled plastics. Forced Air removes water vapor as dry air counter-flows through the pellets as they pass through the top half of the dryer.
