For many years, inventors have tried to develop versions of '''Microwave Dryers''' for thermoplastics. The '''Microwave Dryers''' can be practically used for drying plastics in a production setting. | For many years, inventors have tried to develop versions of '''Microwave Dryers''' for thermoplastics.
