Method for the preparation of dried polymer pellets in a facility having a dryer with a first chamber and a mechanical agitator, and the facility further having a degassing silo with a second chamber, the method includes the steps of guiding a drying gas flow made from or containing a first gas mixture for drying wet polymer pellets into the first chamber, transferring the dried polymer pellets into the second chamber, guiding a second gas mixture for degassing the dried polymer pellets into the second chamber thereby transforming the second gas mixture into a third gas mixture and guiding a portion of the third gas mixture into the first chamber; and process for manufacturing LDPE pellets.

A rotary dryer can include a screen that is divided into different portions joined together to form the screen structure. The screen portions can be joined together using one or more quick release latches. Each latch can provide a locking connection between the different screen portions. The latch can be unlocked, e.g., using hand pressure, to disconnect one screen portion from an adjacent screen portion. This can allow quick replacement of one or both screen portions with replacement screen portion(s). The latch may include a latch body and a latch rod. The latch rod may be rotatably connected to the latch body. The latch rod can be connected to one screen portion and the latch body connected to another screen portion. The latch body can rotate around the rotatable connection, causing the screen portions to be pulled together for subsequent use of the screen structure.

The invention relates to paper processing, namely the processing of a paper web or a paper web section in order to form a paper stick. The processing is carried out in multiple process stages, including storing the paper web, stretching the paper web, controlling/regulating the guide for the lateral edge, conveying the paper web, folding the paper web, rolling, adding an additive, cutting, removing the remaining paper web, separating the paper sticks, drying the sticks, and/or post-treating the sticks.

A separation device, such as a centrifugal dryer, for separating a mixture of a solid material and a fluid is described. The device has a housing having at least one housing inlet for supplying the mixture and at least one housing outlet for discharging the solid material or the fluid separated from the mixture. The device also has a rotor that is arranged within the housing and is mounted rotatably around a longitudinal axis. The rotor causes movement of the solid material in the direction of the longitudinal axis by rotating. The rotor has multiple rotor segments, which can be separated from each other.

A separator has a housing that includes a screen positioned within the housing and defining a separation chamber having an inlet that receives a mixture and a discharge opening. The separator includes a pipe at least partially extending along an inlet axis, where the pipe is in fluid communication with the inlet of the separation chamber, and a rotor extending through the separation chamber, where the rotor rotates about a longitudinal axis such that rotation of the rotor moves the solid material upwards in a transport direction that is substantially parallel to longitudinal the axis. The inlet axis is oriented such that the pipe directs the material upwards through the inlet along a material direction that extends at least partially along the transport direction.
