Waterslide pelletizing system and wet cut strand pelletizing system

The “WS” Series Wet Cut Waterslide pelletizing system and Wet Cut Strand pelletizing system enables you to run a wide variety of materials with little or no operator assistance. Strand conditioning water is used to improve pellet quality by reducing fines.

Underwater pelletizing system for spring pelletizers - M-USG

The M-USG underwater pelletization system has been producing virgin polymers worldwide for decades. The extremely flexible system guarantees a high level of system availability, especially during continuous operation, and meets the highest quality requirements for cylindrical pellets.

Strand pelletizing and dry cut pelletizing for extrusion technology - S3000 Pultrusion Series

New extrusion technology of strand pelletizing and dry cut pelletizing is helping compounders of long fiber reinforced materials reach faster line speeds. Reduction Engineering Scheer was asked to specifically design a plastic pelletizer for better strand control and improve the pellets’ shape and cut quality. Traditionally, pultrusion pelletizers were fed strands by a belt puller only. The S3000 Series has been fitted with a front end feedroll mechanism. Coupled with the puller, the feedrolls ensure the strand control necessary for pellet accuracy and quality.

Strand pelletizing and dry cut pelletizing processing - M-ASG for pultruded LFT pellets

The proven WSG dry-cut pelletizing and strand pelletizing systems with M-ASG pelletizers produce the highest quality of cylindrical pellets particularly suitable for further processing.

In the past, glass fiber compounds were usually produced by strand pelletizing. Recently, however, there has been a clear trend toward underwater pelleting. Wear resistance and optimized machine concepts have shown that high throughput rates and low wear costs are possible for glass fiber compounds from underwater pelletizing systems.

Low Waste Continuous Production

The LWCP System concept was designed to allow the user to operate the production waste recycling machine on a continuous basis and to increase output without interruptions from a defined minimum throughput up to the maximum line throughput. 

Pellet Rates up to 500 kg/h

Gala’s COMPACT LAB SYSTEM, a underwater pelletizing system is used downstream of an extruder or gear pump for polymer production. Used in laboratory settings and by compounders when underwater pelletizing processes and drying samples of polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, ABS, flexible PVC and other polymers.

The objective of the Flexline System for underwater pelletizing processes: The Flexline machine concept for underwater pellitizing systems is a logical extension of Gala technology. The machine concept permits complex product changes within a matter of minutes to minimize unproductive time for polymer and compound manufacturers.

For pellet rates up to 1.500 kg/h, (depending on equipment configuration and polymers)

A value engineered underwater pelletizing system and underwater pelletizing process designed to economically pelletize and dry thermoplastics—polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, rigid PVC, flexible PVC, and more—for polymer production at throughput rates of up to 1,500 kg/h (3307 lbs/hr.)

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.

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.
