Machine Description:
The Novatec GFH-2500 Dryer an industrial-grade system engineered for preparing PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) materials by removing moisture and converting amorphous PET into a crystalline state. The GFH-2500 gas-fired dryer uses high-efficiency flame heat for deep moisture extraction. This system ensures consistent material performance, particularly in moisture-sensitive processes like sheet extrusion and injection molding. The integration of flame control and safety monitoring (Eclipse Veri-Flame system) ensures reliable and safe operation during continuous high-temperature use.
Key Features:
• High-capacity PET drying
• 3-phase, 460V operation
• Flame-powered heating with safety monitoring
• Durable steel construction for industrial use
• Precision moisture removal (down to
J.P. Ward Resin Drying Hopper
General Description
The J.P. Ward hopper is a large-capacity resin drying and storage vessel, designed for integration with crystallizers, dryers, or pneumatic conveying systems. Constructed with a cylindrical body and conical discharge, it ensures consistent resin flow and uniform drying. This hopper is commonly used in PET processing, extrusion lines, and injection molding operations requiring precise moisture removal prior to processing.
This particular hopper has been paired with a Novatec GF/PH2500 Gas-Fired Crystallizer, making it suitable for high-volume PET crystallization and drying.
Specifications (Approximate)
Brand: J.P. Ward
Type: Resin Drying Hopper / Storage Hopper
Capacity: ~75 cubic feet (~2,600–2,700 lbs of PET resin, depending on bulk density)
Construction:
Heavy-duty steel, cylindrical body with conical discharge
Mounted on structural steel frame
Graduated markings on hopper wall for volume indication
Configuration:
Top inlet for hot air / material loading
Bottom discharge with material outlet
Designed for integration with blower and cyclone separator
Applications:
Drying & crystallizing PET resins
Pre-extrusion or pre-injection molding moisture control
High-volume resin storage and handling
Common Uses
Works in tandem with desiccant or gas-fired crystallizers (such as the Novatec GF/PH2500).
Ensures resin is properly dried/crystallized before processing.
Reduces energy costs by maintaining material dryness in bulk.
