Device and method for the production of plastic parts with drying and desiccant feed devices

A method for producing plastic parts, the method comprising:

• feeding a first liquid plastics starting component and a second liquid plastics starting component to a mixing chamber of a mixing device;
• feeding a gas into the mixing chamber of the mixing device while mixing the first liquid plastics starting component and the second liquid plastics starting component;
• mixing the first liquid plastics starting component, the second liquid plastics starting component, and the gas in the mixing chamber to form a foamed plastics mixture;
• cooling the mixing device using a cooling device;
• discharging the foamed plastics mixture through a discharge nozzle;
• and
• drying the mixing device using a drying device that at least partially surrounds the mixing device by introducing compressed air into a drying chamber defined between the mixing device and a separation device via a pipe at least partially extending into the drying chamber.

• spiraling a coolant around the mixing device to cool the mixing device;
• discharging the plastics mixture through a discharge nozzle;
• and
• drying the mixing device using a drying device that at least partially surrounds the mixing device by introducing compressed air into a drying chamber defined between the mixing device and a separation device via a pipe at least partially extending into the drying chamber;
• wherein a dew point temperature of the compressed air is below 5° C.
