Dehydration is a crucial part in the plastic recycling process. Without proper dehydration, a high quality recycled product cannot be produced. This study developed a continuous-type dehydrator using centrifugal force to improve the dehydrating performance and recycling throughput. The designed structure makes it capable to perform a continuous feeding and dehydrating of crushed plastic waste simultaneously. It consists of revolving drum, feed screw, insert screw, differential speed regulator and other components. Several tests were conducted to determine optimal process parameters to achieve results. Field tests using prototypes verified that the dehydrator with the proposed structure has an efficient and excellent performance
