The Micro 2001 Dryer presents a unique concept in the art of drying plastic pellets. The main features is the ability to tilt the dryer housing back to facilitate the cleaning of the rotor and screen cartridge between production runs. Another design feature is the elimination of the lower bearing and seals to reduce maintenance. The Carter Day Micro 2001 Dryer is designed for underwater, watering ring and strand pelletizing systems, with a capacity range of 50 to 200 lbs/hr (20 to 900 kg/hr) and water rates up to 80 GPM (18m³/hr).

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

Carter Day offers a range of screens including; Perforated Screen recommended for pellitized plastics and recycled plastics; Tri Bar Screen recommended for expanded polystyrene beads or small diameter pellets; and Laser Drilled Screen recommended for expanded polystyrene beads and micro-sized pellets.

The Stainless Steel Pressurized SpinAway Dryer is designed for special products such as nylon pellets. The final dewatering is accomplished by spinning off the moisture through the centrifugal action of the rotor. The slurry enters the bottom of the SpinAway. As the water is spun off, pellets are carried to the top by the rotating blades. The discharge is located at the top. The internal dryer components include purged labyrinth shafts seals, electro – polished screens and special bearing assemblies. A pellet-free rotor with stub shafts are available in our largest models. The Vessels are designed with manways to provide an easy access to service the internal screens. All internal welds, edges, and sharp corners are ground to an 80 grit finish. The vessels are designed and built to ASME code VIII, Div. 1. Standards are code stamped and designed for pressures up to 45 psi and 350°F.

The Stainless Steel SpinAway Dryer separates pellitized products from water slurries in a continuous operation. Products can be discharged from the SpinAway dry enough to go directly to packaging or storage with surface moisture as low as 0.05%. Final dewatering is accomplished by spinning off the moisture through the centrifugal action of the vertical rotor located in the center of the dryer. The rotor consists of impeller blades extending from the bottom to the top of the SpinAway. As the water is removed, pellets are carried to the top by the rotating blades. The discharge is located at the top.

The RETRO Disc Cylinder Separator combines the high performance capability of the Disc Separators with the precision separating capability of the indented Uniflow cylinder. The RETRO Disc Cylinder Separator separates and sizes product by length into five different separations, all in a single continuous process. Drop bottom doors provide easy and quick cleanout.

The Modular Uniflow is a high capacity multiple cylinder length separator. Length separations are made by rotating cylinders which lift the smaller material using indented pockets. A wide variety of cylinders are available with indented pocket sizes for virtually all applications. Vertical modules from 2 to 5 cylinders high provide flexibility to meet a wide range of process separation requirements in a single pass. Capacity requirements can be met by combining any number of independent vertical modules into a single machine configuration.
