Automatic wet cut strand pelletizer for thermoplastic pellet production
Streamline your polymer pellet production with this advanced pelletizing system, offering efficient wet cutting, low noise operation, and automated features to ensure continuous, uninterrupted processing for high-quality thermoplastic pellets.
Processes Thermoplastic Strands into Cooled Pellets
The WS Series Strand Pelletizers from Bay Plastics Machinery excel in transforming thermoplastic strands into uniform pellets, ideal for various plastics and polymer applications. These machines utilize an automated start-up process with re-threading capabilities, allowing for seamless operation without manual intervention. Designed to work alongside reactors, autoclaves, and extruders, the WS series ensures efficient wet cut strand pelletizing, providing precise cooling and reducing operational noise. With inverter-driven models ranging from the WSD 200 to WSD 1000, they accommodate varying capacities with significantly reduced energy consumption. Cooling is achieved efficiently as cut pellets are reintroduced into a water trough, promoting additional cooling. The system handles up to 28,775 lb/hr with minimal dust generation, making it an optimal choice for polyethylene, polypropylene, and other polymer pellets. Engineered to support high-speed, continuous processes, the WS series is compact and conserves space, ensuring easy integration into existing production lines.
