MAP
Manually Adjustable Pelletizer
The Manually Adjustable Pelletizer (MAP), a underwater pelletizing application, features a manual adjusting wheel to position the blades against the die plate. This simple blade adjustment design of the underwater pelletizer provides visual blade wear indication and maximum control of blade position. The unique design of the axial advance system replaces the need for a bearing housing assembly. The MAP design requires only one long life thrust bearing for accurate adjustments.
Easy blade adjustment
Application flexibility
EAC
Electronically Adjustable Pelletizer
The EAC pelletizer for underwater pelletizing offers fully automated control of blade adjustment, positioning, and monitoring, resulting in maximum blade and die face life. Monitoring and adjustment processes are programmed in the Gala PLC controlled system. An optional integrated blade position measuring system for unterwater pelletizer is available, providing indication of blade position and warning of the need for a blade change.

ZHULI® is an underwater pelletizing system with integrated pellet dryer and process water handling, designed to process a wide range of polymers and thermoplastics. The efficient system is characterized by high flexibility and small footprint. ZHULI® is manufactured locally with key components made in Germany. With an installed base of more than 9,000 underwater pelletizing systems, we help our customers to achieve the maximum level of profitability.
Ideal for all thermoplastics
Outputs up to 1,800 kg / h
Fully enclosed system
Small size and user friendly
Quick product exchange
Pellets of excellent quality
Long life
SLC
Spring-Loaded Pelletizer
The Spring Loaded Cutter (SLC) is a cost efficient solution for underwater pelletizing basic polymers at lower rates. The SLC pelletizer uses constant spring pressure to adjust the cutter blades to the die plate, reducing the need for operator attention and underwater cutting. The cutter hub is connected to the motor shaft through a telescoping spring sleeve, and the blades are automatically positioned against the die plate using spring force. The blade force can be adjusted per application or product by simply changing springs.
Cost effective solution
Simple control
Low maintenance
SPHERO®
Underwater pelletizing systems for highly profitable throughput rates of up to 36,000 kg per hour
The SPHERO® underwater pelletizing system has been particularly designed to process thermoplastics and produces spherical pellets. This most flexible system for underwater cutting is applied in the production of raw materials, compounds, masterbatches, engineering plastics, recyclate, organic and wood polymer composites, thermoplastics elastomers, microgranulate, hot-melt adhesives, and more.
