Dryers

All members of the EASY ACCESS centrifugal pellet dryer series from Gala offer wide doors which permit easy, convenient and safe access for internal cleaning and maintenance. All Gala pellet dryers are supplied with door timed interlocks and local power disconnect for operator safety in polymer manufacturing.

Easy Clean/Low Noise

Easy-Clean Low-Noise (ECLN) pellet dryers are particularly easy to service and meet high demands on noise reduction < 80 dB(A). Features:

Self-Cleaning

The Gala Self-Cleaning Pellet Dryer is designed to achieve a high degree of self-cleaning which will reduce the otherwise common downtimes to a minimum. In most cases, this centrifugal pellet dryer does not need to be cleaned and nor opened to prepare the system for a color change. 

Efficient centrifugal dryer for any application

CYCLO® is energy-efficient pellet drying with minimal space required. The dryers are suitable for use with both PEARLO® underwater pelletizing and M-USG and P-USG underwater strand pelletizing systems. Well thought-out and highly accessible components, such as the core rotor device, serve to provide excellent operating characteristics and efficient servicing.

Energy-efficient drying with minimal required space

The CENTRO series of dryers is suitable for use with both underwater pelletizing and underwater strand pelletizing systems. Well thoughtout and highly accessible components, such as the core rotor device, serve to provide excellent operating characteristics and efficient servicing.

MAAG/Gala is the market leader for high capacity dryers. Large resin producers have the need for high capacity, continuous operation pellet dryers. By utilizing patented processes and innovative equipment designs, MAAG/Gala is capable to manufacture centrifugal pellet dryers with outputs up to 150 metric tons per hour (330,000 lbs/hr). Design innovations such as segmented rotor designs, wedge wire rotor screens, leak proof bearing seals in combination with high quality steel options assure our customers highest reliability. All MAAG/Gala pellet dryers are supplied with door timed interlocks and local power disconnect for operator safety.

Centrifugal Dryer for Recycled Products

Pellet dryer designs are based on current product rate testing. Gala has been conducting extensive testing on our centrifugal recycled plastic pellet dryers at full production rates since early 2007.

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. 

Efficient pellet drying technology for abrasive pellets

The DURO belt dryer in combination with the underwater pelletizing systems from Gala and Automatik is the perfect solution for the production of abrasive or brittle pellets such as compounds highly filled with fiber glass or minerals. The drying process does not use any rotating parts and thus is a very gentle process reducing costs related to wear to a minimum.

Pellet Processing Systems for the Plastics and Adhesive Industries

The Gala Tumbler may be used as a defluidizer or dryer for brittle products, a pellet coater for tacky products, or a pellet classifier for any type of product.
