Bay Plastics Machinery, we’re known for living in the future.
That’s why, while our competitors use outdated designs or a general purpose pelletizer that has not been designed with an application focus, Bay Plastics Machinery clearly stands above the rest. BPM has re-engineered a pelletizer specifically designed for Pultrusion, and redefined the limits of what a pelletizer can do for you. The result is the “P” Series Pultrusion Pelletizer, engineered specifically for pelletizing tough, Pultruded “long glass fiber” thermoplastics.

“P” Series Pultrusion Pelletizers are not simply old designs repurposed for pultruded strands; they have been engineered with the optimal cutting geometry to cleanly cut resilient plastics, with minimal wear on the machine, and minimal power consumption. The “P” series Pultrusion pelletizer has been designed with an “isolation coupler” that eliminates deflection on the rotor created by the pull force of the motor. The unique feature allows the manufacture to hold a .0005 gap between the carbide blade rotor and a carbide bed knife, reducing wear and producing best quality cut of a long glass fiber pellet in the industry. After a decade of production and over a 100 units in the field, the Bay Plastics Pultrusion pelletizer has been described by customers as cost effective, easy to clean, and the most durable pelletizer available on the market today.

Precise Gap Adjustment
Precise gaps can be achieved quickly and easily with our unique bed knife holder design. With a fixed position rotor, a coupling is used to remove the radial load on the bearing, allowing for greater speeds and tighter-cutting gaps. Belt tension is removed from the bearings so they run cooler.
Feedroll
With a feedroll, the front end is mounted on a slide system. This feature allows quick and easy cleaning. Another advantage is ease of access for maintenance.
Recommended for soft or pliable strands.
