Pro Pelletizer

The Xplore Pro Pelletizer is a post-die R&D size granulation unit that is specially designed to cut polymer and rubber strands into a wide range of pellets (granules). The Xplore Pro-Pelletizer is compatible with our all Xplore Micro-Compounders. The pelletizing speed can be accurately adjusted via an integrated touch screen to generate many industrial size pellets, allowing it to be precisely tailored for other R&D size compounding processes.The Xplore Pro-Pelletizer has a “wide range” of cutting speeds, driven by two powerful servo motors to generate many pellet lengths accurately. Of course, CE and UL compliant, with a front access opening panel for easy cleaning, all operating access doors are complete safety interlocked. An optional water bath enables you to cool the polymer strand before the initial cutting (pelletizing) step. The Xplore Pro-Pelletizer carefully and accurately cuts, in a controlled manner, the fragile newborn polymer strand. This controlled cutting of the polymer strand, while in a semi solid-state, prevents pellet protrusion issues on the nascent pellets.

The Xplore Pro-Pelletizer enables you to use these freshly cut pellets for a second compounding step in one of our compounders or a subsequent upscaling step in a larger extruder. Is there no need for a water bath, then the Xplore Pro Pelletizer can also be pre-equipped with our Conveyor belt pro. It guides the strand from the compounder, gives it time to cool down, and then be fed into the Xplore Pro-Pelletizer, creating ideal cutting conditions.
