Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1703239A2] Continuous apparatus (A) for the fast dehumidification of loose materials (M), particularly pellets for plastic moulding plants, consisting of: -a first vertical container (1) to contain the pellets to be processed; -a second container (2), orthogonal and in communication with said first for the processing of the pellets, with a fluidized bed and longitudinal auger (3), on which microwave generators (5,6) operate; -a circuit for the distribution of a dehumidified airflow at a controlled temperature inside said second container (2); -means for the aspiration of the airflow at a controlled temperature and enriched with humidity from inside said second container (2), for then said airflow to be dehumidified and reintroduced inside said second container (2); -sensor means (22,102,103) for the detection of the temperature and humidity percentage present in the pellets at least in said second container (2).
