Overview:

• The pelletizer uses a fan-shaped cutting wheel that cuts the strands sideways with a scissors action.
• Conventional pelletizers often leave ‘tails’ on the pellets because the blades do not cut cleanly through the whole strand.
  • Cuts only on the upper part of the strand while the rest is torn away.
• Issues with conventional pelletizers:
  • With soft resins, the blades cannot cut the strands at all.
  • With hard brittle resins, a conventional drum type cutter may crush the strands, causing a lot of dust.

Features:

• Produce compounds and masterbatches never before possible:
  • The Sidecut pelletizer enables you to pelletize very soft resins, as low as 10 Shore A and even hot melt resins.
• Minimize scrap from classifier with increased productivity:
  • Produces very clean-cut pellets with a “soft” cutting action, minimizing mis-cut pellets.
• Increase output on existing formulas:
  • Pellets are produced at very high speed without sacrificing quality.
  • For highly filled compounds, it minimizes pellet breakage since there is no crushing tendency, unlike conventional pelletizers.
