Hoses for the Plastics Industry / Silo Filling Plastic is delivered in the form of granules. These plastic granules are transported pneumatically into large silo containers via long hoses before being forwarded onto the distribution stations (hose stations). Once there, they are distributed to the granule drying stations. Silo Filling Master-PROTECT Pipes & Pipe-Bends in silo applications The pneumatic transport places great demands on the durability of the hoses applied. The transport medium is conveyed through the hoses using high-pressure or vacuum from the trucks and into the silos. Signs...

Hoses for the Plastics Industry / Granule Drying In the field of plastics processing, granule drying plays an integral role. Plastic absorbs moisture and humidity from the air around it. This can lead to drastic deficiencies in the end product. That‘s why the drying of the granules is such an important phase of the process - especially when having to allow for the recommended residual moisture tolerances of the raw material manufacturers Granule Drying Before the plastic granules can be melted later on in the injection-moulding and extrusion process, the moisture and humidity must first be removed....
