Our pelletising systems are used worldwide to process a wide variety of polymers, from low viscosity engineering plastics to high viscosity materials such as gum bases.
Modular systems for pelletising plastics up to 15,000kg/hrOur modular pelletising systems are highly cost efficient & cover a wide range of applications:
Primary pelletising
Masterbatch production
Compounding
Plastics recycling
Our pelletising systems are used worldwide to process a wide variety of polymers, from low viscosity engineering plastics to high viscosity materials such as gum bases.The typical pelletising system consists of three main components:
Pelletiser
Tempered water system (TWS) with centrifugal dryer
Electrical control & power supply
The pelletising system interfaces with the extruder or melt pump. The pelletising process is performed in a closed loop system. The pelletised product is conveyed by the water flow from the cutting chamber into the centrifugal dryer. During the process, the pelletised product has no contact with ambient air, & there is no risk of gas, dust emission, or contamination of the product. The process water remains in the tempered water system, another advantage which contributes to the environmental compatibility of this process.The special benefits of underwater pelletising systems are:
Low space requirement due to compact design
Low noise emission
High economic efficiency
Less cleaning effort required in case of product changes
Simple access to die plate & cutter hub with replacement possible within 15-20 minutes
Production of standard pellets & micropellets (0.2 to 12mm)
All systems are backed by around-the-clock technical support
Telford Smith offers complete extrusion & pelletising systems for a wide range of materials.
