Polymer granule drying is needed after granulation, washing or wet pelletising in compounding and polymer production plants. These granules range from engineering polymers to additive masterbatches, and plants often want drying and cooling in one line to deliver free-flowing product at a controlled temperature to silos.
To dry polymer granules, GEM recommends the Combination Fluid Bed Dryer. Vibratory Fluid Bed Dryer, Direct / Indirect Rotary Dryer and Industrial Cooler are used when the feed or site calls for it. Every project starts with a pilot trial on your own sample.
A combination fluid bed dryer provides separate drying and cooling zones with controlled air temperatures for polymer granules. A vibratory fluid bed is chosen for simpler, smaller lines, and an indirect rotary dryer for coarse or contained granules.

| Application area | Polymers, Plastics & Resins |
| Industries | Polymers, Rubber & Resins |
Dry, cool granules flow reliably into silos and packaging, reducing blockages and quality claims. Integrated drying and cooling lines save floor space and handling steps.
Plants searching for a polymer granule dryer or comparing a plastic granule dryer usually need three answers: which dryer fits, what it costs to run, and how fast it pays back. For Polymer Granules, we start from your throughput, current moisture and the target, trial a sample on the Combination Fluid Bed Dryer, and return a sized recommendation with a budget quotation for your polymers operation.
We trial your material in our pilot facility before any equipment decision, then size the dryer from real data.
Describe it in the form, or message an engineer directly.
