Three-Tec Hot Die Pelletizer with heated die face and rotary cutting assembly for direct pelletization

01 / 04OVERVIEW

The Hot Die Pelletizer cuts extrudate directly at the die face, eliminating the strand-cooling step required by conventional pelletizers. This is the preferred downstream for brittle, highly filled, or low-melt-strength formulations that cannot sustain strand integrity through a cooling trough. A heated die plate maintains melt temperature at the cutting point; a rotary blade assembly with adjustable speed controls pellet size from 0.5 to 10 mm. The unit mounts at the extruder discharge flange and shares the Siemens PLC for integrated process control.
