Hot cutter for processing extrudate into pellets
In manufacturing environments where extrudates need to be processed into uniform pellets, maintaining control over pellet size and minimizing waste are critical. This situation demands a reliable cutting tool to handle both wet and melt extrudates efficiently.
Efficiently process extrudate into precise pellet sizes
The hot cutter from Three-Tec is designed to process extrudate into pellets using one or more knives in direct contact with the die plate. Capable of handling both wet and melt extrudates, the hot cutter allows for the production of pellet sizes ranging from 0.5 to 10 mm, providing flexibility to meet various manufacturing needs. The device is controlled through an integrated potentiometer or optionally through the control system of the Three-Tec extruder, offering ease of operation. Additionally, an optional housing is available to enhance operational safety and cleanliness. The cutter operates at speeds between 10 and 500 rpm, powered by a stepper motor with a voltage of 24 VDC and a frequency of 50/60 Hz. This makes it a robust choice for industries requiring precise and efficient pellet production.
