Strand pelletizer for small production lines

Achieve consistent and precise pellet sizes with our strand pelletizer, ideal for transforming polymers into uniform granules while maintaining seamless integration into both lab-scale and small production environments.

Pelletizes Polymers for Consistent Granule Production

The SB 100 & SB 50 Series Pelletizers from Bay Plastics Machinery are engineered for precision pelletizing in plastics and polymer production environments. Designed for continuous and reliable operation, these strand pelletizers seamlessly handle thermoplastics, resins, and additives, ensuring uniform pellets for consistent processing. With its innovative push-pull adjustment, the equipment maintains precise control over pellet length using a four-edged tungsten carbide bed knife and stellite-tipped rotor. The easy-access design and safety interlock system meet all OSHA standards, ensuring secure and efficient use. The series caters to both laboratory and small-scale production needs, featuring aluminum and stainless steel construction for enhanced durability. It offers simple integration into existing lines with a feed table assembly and AC variable frequency drive for optimized operation. Bay Plastics Machinery supports the SB Series with extensive customization options and technical assistance, making it an adaptable choice for continuous processing challenges.
