Micro pelletizer for thermoplastics
In the production of plastic components, achieving exceptionally small pellet sizes can be challenging. Traditional pelletizers often fail to provide the precision and control required for specialized applications where micropellets are needed.
Produces micropellets with minimal turbulence
The X-Class Micro strand pelletizer by Bay Plastics Machinery is designed to produce pellets as small as 0.015 inches (0.4mm) in length. Unlike conventional pelletizers that generate turbulence and push micropellets into uncontrollable areas, this micro pelletizer minimizes turbulence through its innovative design. It features a simple internal upper feedroll drive system, eliminating the need for an external gearbox, and can handle a wide range of thermoplastics, from master batch to glass-filled varieties. Constructed with heavy-gauge, stainless steel for longevity, the micro pelletizer is equipped with a safety interlock system to ensure safe operation. Clamps are used in place of loose hand knobs for ease of maintenance, and large bore pneumatic cylinders provide greater pulling force. The machine also houses eccentric-mounted bearings for rotor gap settings, a four-edged solid tungsten-carbide bed knife, and an AC variable frequency drive.
