The article discusses new advancements in dryers, such as faster cycles, lower dewpoint values, and artificial intelligence features. It also mentions collaborations between companies to develop on-demand drying/blending systems for the circular economy. The document aims to assist library patrons conducting research on plastic processing by providing information on different dryers and their features. [Extracted from the article]
