⚙️ 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.

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.
