Automatic strand pelletizer for reinforced and filled polymers

Optimize your polymer production with precise pelletizing, designed to handle reinforced and filled compositions efficiently, ensuring high-quality output and streamlined operation in demanding manufacturing environments.

Pelletizes and Dewaters Reinforced Polymer Strands

The WSD Series Strand Pelletizers from Bay Plastics Machinery offer an efficient solution for the pelletizing and dewatering of reinforced and filled polymer strands. This equipment utilizes a dry-cut approach, removing surface water through air blowing and vacuum, ensuring dust-free pellet production with low noise levels. Suitable for applications such as glass fiber reinforced polypropylene and talc-filled polypropylene, it is capable of handling up to 2,000–8,000 pounds per hour. Designed to be compact and space-saving, the machine integrates seamlessly into continuous, high-speed production lines. With a cooling length of 5-16 feet and customizable inverter-driven operation, it provides flexibility and efficiency for diverse manufacturing needs.
