Underwater pelletizer for sticky thermoplastics
In the production of polyolefins, dealing with sticky products and achieving high throughput rates can be challenging. Ensuring smooth and consistent pelletizing while managing energy consumption and product handling requires advanced technology and experience.
Optimize pelletizing for high throughput and sticky products
The Underwater Pelletizer UG by Coperion excels in the pelletizing of thermoplastics, especially sticky products, and large-scale throughput. Its semi-automatic startup process simplifies operation, reducing the need for extensive personnel. The system features optimized flow channels for low pressure build-up and energy-efficient, gentle product handling. Key components, such as the die plate and pelletizer knife, are made from specially developed wear-proof material alloys, which contribute to longer equipment life. Its large number of bores per die plate size enables high throughput rates. Advanced features like an optimized heating channel system ensure even and intensive heating, preventing melt freezing during startup. This underwater pelletizer is a valuable solution for the plastics and chemicals industries.
