The T 2016 PA from Herbold Meckesheim is a mechanical dryer that has proven itself for a wide range of materials, from films and regrind to mixed and rigid plastics. Washed flakes, for example, are dried and also freed from residual impurities. The T 2016 PA is also suitable as an intensive washer – in this case, it uses a large volume of water to separate contaminants from the fraction such as paper pulp from former labels.
The machine consists of a hot-dip galvanized housing in which a high-speed agitator rotates, a polygon shaped screen basket made of stainless steel, double outboard bearings, and a pneumatic cleaning system with rinsing device for the screen surface. For heavily contaminated feedstock or feedstock with a high paper content, a cleaning scraper is used on the exterior surface of the screen drum.
Due to its novel design, the T 2016 PA achieves up to 50 percent higher drying performance, mainly due to an optimized shape and position of the replaceable and wear-resistant paddles. The screens have also been redesigned by Herbold Meckesheim with a multi-part circumference as well as a multi-part length. The hingeable housing cover, which can be opened on both sides, provides excellent access to the inside of the machine – forklifts or cranes are not required to lift off. Particularly abrasive material can be countered with wear-resistant armor. And for poorly flowing feed material, a forced feeding system via screw bunker is available.
