Dry Cut Strand Pelletizers

Glaves Corporation offers a Dry Cut Strand Pelletizer, GCD Series. Various cutters, bed knives and feed roller materials are possible to suit the polymer material being cut. The cutter in the pelletizer is both side supported with heavy-duty bearings to avoid vibrations in the assembly resulting in better gap setting which in turn leads to better chip cutting and increased cutter life. High torque geared motors are used so that efficient cutting may be done with a lower rating motor which reduces power consumption considerably. Also due to direct drive on rotary cutter there is no wastage of power due to slippage. The top roll is pneumatically pressed onto the strands so that an even pressure is maintained throughout the strand sheet. The pressure is adjustable through a regulator depending upon polymer being processed. The top elastomer roll is pneumatically cooled, controlled by a regulator, to improve upon its life. Operator control panel is designed to provide maximum information like actual cutter speed, top roller pressure, top roller cooling, tripping, power related diagnostics, no-air and fault conditions to the operator. Safety interlocks have been provided to ensure proper safety of workers.
