Pultrusion pelletizer for long glass fiber thermoplastics
Engineered to tackle the challenges of cutting and pelletizing tough, resilient thermoplastics, this device ensures precise and efficient production of high-quality fiber-reinforced pellets, vital for automotive and durable goods manufacturers seeking to enhance material performance.
Pelletizes and Cuts Long Glass Fiber Thermoplastics
The “P” Series Pultrusion Pelletizer from Bay Plastics Machinery offers an engineered solution for precision cutting and pelletizing of tough, pultruded long glass fiber thermoplastics. This equipment is specifically designed with optimal cutting geometry to deliver clean cuts and minimal wear, using an innovative isolation coupler that maintains a consistent cutting gap. Capable of handling abrasive applications, the pelletizer produces high-quality fiber-reinforced pellets suitable for automotive composite parts, durable plastic components, and high-performance sporting goods. The machine is configurable with dual flywheels that increase rotor inertia and can cut lengths from 1/4” to 2” at high speeds. It integrates seamlessly into production lines, featuring a slide-on front end for easy cleaning and a soundproof design. The equipment comes with options for precise gap adjustment, varied feedroll coverings for high-temperature applications, and customizable discharge configurations. Engineered for continuous and high-speed operations in the plastics and composites industries, the “P” Series ensures robust performance, energy efficiency, and low maintenance demands with available carbide-coated wear parts.
