Gear pelletizer for stable cylindrical pellets

Achieve uniform pellet size and stability in your production line with a low-pressure extrusion solution, ideal for forming cylindrical pellets from materials like titanium dioxide and lithium-ion battery electrodes.

Forms Uniform Cylindrical Granules through Extrusion

The Gear Pelletizer AGF, offered by Hosokawa Alpine, employs a unique low-pressure extrusion process to create uniform cylindrical granules. Specially designed with counter-rotating toothed rollers, it excels in producing precise granules from materials such as titanium dioxide, industrial wax, and lithium-ion battery components. With an operational capacity ranging from 40 to 3,000 kg/h, the AGF series supports continuous, dust-tight, and gas-tight production, ideal for environments with stringent adherence to inert gas or solvent use. The machine’s integration capabilities include seamless incorporation into existing production lines for sectors like chemicals, food, and recycling. Built with corrosion-resistant materials, it is compatible with a range of industrial applications and complies with industry standards. Easy maintenance is ensured with integrated features enabling efficient cleaning and component accessibility. Additionally, customization options are available to meet specific production needs, supported by Hosokawa Alpine’s expert engineering assistance.
