Effective diffusivity is varied from 4 - 6.5 X 10-9cm2/sec. (1days) to reach 0.15% moisture content value. Drying of Nylon-6 is found to be in the falling rate period. Thus attempt is made to use solar energy for drying of Nylon-6 and polypropylene (PP) by designing natural convection based Solar Dryer. About3-5% of total energy required for processing is utilized for drying and precondition of material. This paper depicts practical solution for partial usage of non- conventional energy source solar energy in conventional plastic process method. Energy efficiency/conservation measures in plastic processing requires attention to harness alternate energy sources through technological modifications during material processing. Despite of proposed growth, higher cost of Energy requirement for processing are obstructing growth of plasticulture. India's plastics consumption is only about 2% of the world. Panse, et al.Ĭonsumption of plastics is directly linked with economic growth of plastic industry of respective country.
