About Used Plastic Resin Dryers
Plastic resin dryers (also called resin dryers, plastic material dryers, or polymer dryers) remove moisture from hygroscopic plastic resins before processing. Proper drying is critical for part quality — moisture in resins like nylon, PET, polycarbonate, and ABS causes splay, bubbles, and reduced mechanical properties. Desiccant dryers for plastic resin use a desiccant bed to produce extremely dry air (-40°F dew point) for thorough moisture removal.
Used plastic dryers are available as standalone hopper dryers, desiccant dryer systems with multiple hoppers, vacuum dryers, and hot air dryers. Plastic material dryer sizing depends on throughput rate and material drying time.
Meadoworks stocks used resin dryers, plastic dryers, and desiccant dryers for plastics from Novatec, Conair, Wittmann, Motan, Matsui, Dri-Air, and Una-Dyn (Unadyn). Contact us at 800-323-0307.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a used plastic resin dryer cost?
Used resin dryer prices range from $1,000-$5,000 for small hopper dryers to $5,000-$25,000+ for large desiccant dryer systems. Multi-hopper central drying systems can range from $15,000-$75,000. Novatec, Conair, and Wittmann dryers hold value well. Contact Meadoworks at 800-323-0307.
What is a desiccant dryer for plastic resin?
A desiccant dryer uses a desiccant material (molecular sieve) to remove moisture from air before passing it through a hopper of plastic resin. Desiccant dryers for plastics achieve dew points of -40°F or lower, which is necessary for properly drying hygroscopic engineering resins like nylon, PET, PC, and ABS.
