AERO

Gentle drying of plastic pellets

The AERO impact dryer provides for gentle, low-impact separation of cooling water in connection with M-USG underwater strand pelletizing systems. As the pellets are conveyed and dried without moving mechanical parts, high pellet quality is guaranteed. Over several decades, many customers have valued the unique benefi ts of the AERO dryer, in particular for virgin polymer production – consistently high pellet quality, easy handling, and maximum operating availability.
