ADA Series

Auger Dryer Systems

Continuous heated auger drying systems for moving washed plastic material from wet processing into cleaner, more consistent downstream handling.

Drying After Wash & Separation

Move wet plastic material through a controlled heated drying process.

The ADA Series Auger Dryer is designed for plastic drum reclamation and rigid plastic recycling lines where washed material needs to be transferred, elevated, and dried before downstream conveying, granulating, or regrind handling.

Incoming material is fed into a horizontal auger, conveyed into a vertical heated dryer auger, and discharged from an elevated outlet into the next conveyor or process stage.

System Overview

Horizontal feed. Heated lift. Controlled discharge.

01
Material Infeed

Wet plastic flakes or chopped rigid plastics are loaded into the infeed hopper after washing or separation.

02
Horizontal Auger Transfer

A horizontal screw auger meters and conveys material into the vertical drying section.

03
Heated Dryer Auger

Material is elevated through a heated, enclosed auger chamber to reduce moisture and improve downstream handling.

04
Discharge to Conveyor

Dried material exits through an elevated discharge chute for transfer to conveying, granulating, or regrind operations.

Standard Features

Built for wet plastic recovery lines.

Stainless Steel Contact SurfacesSuitable for wash-down environments and plastic recycling operations.
Integrated Infeed HopperReceives wet flakes or chopped plastic from upstream equipment.
Horizontal Feed AugerProvides controlled material transfer into the dryer section.
Vertical Heated AugerCombines lifting, agitation, and drying in a compact footprint.
Insulated Dryer HousingHelps maintain drying efficiency and operator protection.
Modular Discharge ChuteConfigured to discharge into a conveyor, tote, granulator, or downstream process.
ADA Series Advantage

Cleaner material flow after washing.

The ADA Series helps bridge the gap between wet cleaning equipment and dry downstream processing. By moving material through an enclosed heated auger path, the system supports more consistent drying, cleaner conveying, and improved preparation for regrind production.


Designed to integrate with VRS, DS, WS, and PDR Series systems.

Applications

Ideal for plastic drum and rigid container processing.

Plastic Drum Recycling

Dry washed HDPE flake before material recovery or regrind operations.

Rigid Container Processing

Support continuous handling of chopped plastic containers after cleaning.

Wash Line Discharge

Bridge wash and separation equipment to downstream conveyors.

Regrind Preparation

Reduce moisture before granulating, storage, resale, or reuse.
