Conair’s Volatile Traps, sometimes referred to as Plasticizer traps or Demisters, are a solution for processors who find that they are dealing with a significant amount of volatiles or contaminants when they dry plastic resin. Often, these volatiles come from recycled resin, like RPET, and post consumer regrinds, however, it is possible that some virgin resins may also have plasticizers or additives that escape during the drying process. Capturing contaminants ensures your desiccant and drying system performs efficiently and effectively 24/7/365.

The Volatile Trap is installed on the return line of the drying system and filters out contaminants exiting the drying hopper. The hot return line air is exposed to the Demister cooling coils, and volatiles are expunged from the air and easily drained from the system.
