Pelletizer for temperature and shear-sensitive plastics
When working with the production of sensitive plastics, maintaining material integrity is crucial. This process requires equipment that can handle temperature variations and shear forces without compromising the quality of the final product.
Produces uniformly sized pellets from sensitive plastics
The Eccentric Pelletizer EGR is designed specifically for the production of temperature and shear-sensitive plastics, such as soft PVC, hard PVC, and HFFR recipes. This pelletizer is directly connected to the ES-A single shaft discharge screw of the Kombiplast plants from Coperion. The discharge screw gently builds up the product pressure, achieving a consistent material flow through the die plate. The die plate, which is heated by a die-cast ring heater, can be quickly and easily removed for cleaning. Cylindrical product strands emerge from the die plate and are cut into pellets by rotating knives mounted on an eccentrically arranged rotor. The speed of the knives is continuously adjustable, allowing the pellet length to be precisely controlled. The design can be customized according to the material properties and customer requirements, making it versatile across various applications, including low, medium, and high voltage cable compounds.
