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
