Hot cutter for processing extrudate into pellets
Efficiently transform extrudates into precise pellet sizes, enhancing your production line’s flexibility and output quality with cutting-edge control over granule dimensions.
Cuts and Pelletizes Extrudates into Consistent Sizes
The Hot Cutter from Three-Tec GmbH efficiently processes extrudates into pellets, ensuring precise sizes ranging from 0.5 to 10 mm. This solution is ideal for industries including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food processing. Utilizing a stepper motor, the cutter operates at speeds from 10 to 500 rpm and can process both wet and melt extrudates through direct contact with the die plate. Designed for continuous and manual operations, it’s perfect for creating end products like pharmaceutical pellets, pet kibble, and biofuel pellets. Engineered with flexibility, it allows integration with existing Three-Tec extruder control systems via a potentiometer. Optional housing enhances safety and containment. The cutter is available in corrosion-resistant materials, aligning with GMP and FDA standards, ensuring compliance and reliability in demanding environments. Whether for bench-top assemblies or large-scale production lines, the Hot Cutter offers customization options to fit unique processing requirements.
