The Strand Pelletizing System WSD is designed for the production of reinforced and filled polymers. The surface water of the strands is removed by a combination of air blowing and vacuum before being pelletized.

Advantages of the WSD System

  • Automated start-up
  • Re-threading of broken strands
  • Dust-free pellets
  • Low operating noise level
  • Compact and space saving design
  • 1 – 130 Strands
  • 2,000 – 8,000 Lb/Hr
  • Strands are Carried Down the Slide to the Belt Water is Drop off at the Belt
  • Heat in Material Flashes Water Off the Strands.
  • Excess Water is Removed by Vacuum through the Belt and Positive Pressure above the Belt
  • Designed for Specific Applications/Materials
