Proper resin drying is one of the most important steps in producing high-quality plastic parts. Yet even with a drying system in place, manufacturers still encounter moisture-related defects including splay, bubbles, brittleness, poor surface finish and inconsistent processing. The problem often isn’t the dryer itself. In many cases, improper drying results from incorrect material handling,…
