hooks (rigid, rotatable or replaceable,
instead of a carrying
arm);
movable filling head or conveyor
unit; vibration base; and conveying
system. The greatest technical innovation
for improving safety and
preventing machine stoppages is
the double-belt drive, which replaces
the maintenance-intensive
chain drive. This new drive fulfills
explosion-protection requirements,
and because of its special plastic
material, it is suited for use in the
food industry and in dusty environments.
The Elementra EGF Big Bag
filling system can fill all large packages,
independent of size, material
or design. - Haver & Boecker

energy-efficient pellet drying
The new Cyclo Centrifugal Dryer
(photo) provides efficient, reliable pellet
drying in any application. It is compatible
with the company's underwater
pelletizers, which handle a wide
range of polymers
and thermoplastics,
including polyolefins,
styrene polymers,
polyacetals,
polycarbonates,
polyesters, polyamides,

and natural and synthetic resins.
The Cyclo Centrifugal Dryer is available
with drying capacities ranging
from 3,000 to 8,500 kg/h. With the
Cyclo, up to 95% of process water
is removed by centrifugal force. Surface
water that adheres to the pellets
is largely removed through air flow
or mechanical movement, and the
residual heat of the pellets is mostly
used to evaporate remaining surface
moisture. Its compact design allows
for a small footprint and easy access
for cleaning and maintenance.
