Micro pelletizer for thermoplastics
Achieve precision in micro pelletizing with a solution engineered to reduce turbulence, allowing for consistent production of polymer pellets as small as 0.015 inches.
Cuts and Pelletizes Micro-Sized Thermoplastic Strands
The X-Class Micro Strand Pelletizer from Bay Plastics Machinery is engineered to transform thermoplastics into precise micro pellets. It stands out due to its patented design, which minimizes turbulence, optimizing micropellet production. This pelletizer excels in cutting a broad range of materials, from polypropylene and polyethylene to glass-filled thermoplastics, into uniform pellets as small as 0.015 inches. Ideal for applications across plastics and polymer industries, it supports manual and lab-scale operations. Its robust construction features heavy-gauge stainless steel and requires no external gearbox, thanks to its internal upper feedroll drive system. Pneumatic cylinders provide substantial pulling force, and eccentric-mounted bearings ensure precise rotor gap settings. This efficiency in design not only ensures consistent product quality but also facilitates easy maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs. The X-Class is a versatile solution for manufacturers aiming to produce consistent, high-quality micro pellets for diverse applications.
