Lifting Mixing and Drying Machine for Plastic Materials

Product Overview

The URIDGE Lifting Mixing and Drying Machine is designed for large-batch mixing, hot-air drying and circulation of thermoplastic raw materials before extrusion or downstream processing. The machine combines 304 stainless-steel material-contact sections, electric heating, hot-air drying and an internal screw lifting system.

During operation, the internal screw continuously lifts and circulates material through the chamber, supporting mixing and drying. After preparation, material can be discharged or supplied directly to an extruder depending on the production layout.

Suitable Materials

• PP
• PE
• ABS
• POE
• TPEE
• PA
• PC
• PET
• PS
• EPS
• Other suitable thermoplastic materials

Typical Applications

• Pipe extrusion material preparation
• Profile extrusion material preparation
• Sheet extrusion material preparation
• Pelletizing material preparation
• Large-batch plastic drying
• Direct upstream extrusion feeding

Internal Screw Lifting and Mixing

The internal screw lifts material from the lower part of the vessel and circulates it upward through the chamber. Continuous circulation helps expose more material to the hot-air drying process while also supporting material mixing.

Hot-Air Drying

A blower circulates heated air through the material chamber. Electric heaters provide the required heat, while automatic temperature control maintains the selected operating temperature.

Temperature Control

The drying temperature can be adjusted from ambient temperature up to 120°C according to the plastic material and drying requirement.

304 Stainless-Steel Material Contact

The main material-contact sections are made from 304 stainless steel for practical material handling and cleaning.

Direct Feeding to Extrusion Lines

The prepared material can be discharged for storage or supplied directly to an extruder or downstream processing line when the factory layout requires it, for example pipe, profile, sheet and pelletizing lines.

Lifting Mixing & Drying Machine vs High-Speed Hot & Cold Mixing Unit

The two machines serve different material-preparation requirements. The high-speed hot and cold mixing unit focuses on high-speed formulation blending, hot mixing, cooling and PVC dry blend / compound preparation. The lifting mixing and drying machine focuses on large-batch storage, circulation, mixing, hot-air drying and direct upstream feeding. The choice depends on the process.

Standard Models

Notes:

• The values above are standard reference configurations for the URIDGE LSH series.
• Actual drying and mixing performance depends on raw material type, initial moisture condition, loading amount, selected temperature and production process.
• The standard temperature range is from ambient temperature up to 120°C.
• The machine uses electric heating and hot-air drying.
• Internal screw lifting circulates material through the mixing and drying chamber.
• URIDGE can configure the machine according to material type, required loading capacity and downstream process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can the machine process?

It is suitable for thermoplastics such as PP, PE, ABS, POE, TPEE, PA, PC, PET, PS and EPS, and other suitable thermoplastic materials.

What loading capacities are available?

The LSH series covers loading capacities from 300 kg to 8000 kg across different models.

What is the maximum drying temperature?

The drying temperature can be adjusted from ambient temperature up to 120°C depending on the material.

How does internal screw lifting work?

An internal screw lifts material from the lower part of the vessel and circulates it upward through the chamber, supporting mixing and hot-air drying.

Can it feed material directly to an extruder?

Yes. After preparation, material can be discharged for storage or supplied directly to an extruder or downstream line depending on the factory layout.

Is it made from stainless steel?

The main material-contact sections are made from 304 stainless steel.

Does the standard machine use PLC or HMI?

The standard configuration does not use PLC or HMI control. It uses automatic temperature control.

How do I select the correct LSH model?

Model selection is based on material type, required loading capacity and the downstream process; the standard models table lists loading capacity and power for each model.
