Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007116022A2] The present invention concerns a method and an apparatus for drying and/or thermal treatment of granular or particulate plastic material with a vacuum dryer (1) and a corresponding vacuum dryer with a gas-tight sealable chamber (41) for the plastic material and a rotary axis (2) for rotating or swivelling the chamber, in which the jacket of the chamber is formed as one wall. The apparatus is characterised by the fact that a heating and/or a cooling vessel (10, 11) are arranged upstream and/or downstream of the vacuum dryer (1), such that, in the method, in a first step, pre-heated plastic material is charged in the absence of air into a vacuum-tight or gas-tight sealable chamber of the vacuum dryer, or non-pre- heated plastic material is charged into a vacuum-tight or gas-tight sealable chamber of the vacuum dryer and, after evacuation of the vacuum dryer, is heated by in-feeding and/or through-feeding of an inert hot gas and then can be through- mixed in a second step by movement of the vacuum dryer (1).
