ZE Series Pelletizers

Available in 4” (100mm) & 8” (200mm)

The ZE Series pelletizers are the most robust cantilever machines in the industry!  Although they carry the same rotor, upper feed roll and bed knife as the previous Z Series, this new cost-effective design is now offered as a more affordable option yet without compromising the heavy-duty performance.

One feature boasted by the Z Series and ZE Series is the fully supported bed knife by the reinforced isolation plate.  This support under the bed knife holder makes the cut system more durable for holding a consistent tight cutting gap.  History has shown that the Z Series pelletizer is tried-and-true to the pelletizing industry, nothing less is expected from the ZE Series.

KEY BENEFITS

• • A reinforced isolation plate fully supports the bed knife holder thus making the cut system more durable and consistent for holding a specifically defined gap.
  • The eccentric adjusting lower feed roll closes the gap to the hardened doctor blade, decreasing the nip distance by almost 10%.
  • The utilization of a serpentine belt instead of spur gears creates a quieter, maintenance free option.
  • The upper feed roll is electronically actuated, so there’s no pressure on it when the pelletizer is powered down.
  • The redesigned feed table can be easily tilted out of the way, allowing complete access to the cutting chamber. This reduces the time it takes to clean the machine and purge any pellets from a previous run, as well as eliminating the potential for dropping and damaging the feed table during maintenance or changeover.
  • Motors are mounted external to the frame for the best cooling efficiency while keeping moving drive line components within the guarded framework. (optional motor cover available)
  • A straight discharge chute was designed for a better, less interrupted flow of cut pellets from the rotor to the discharge basin.

Other Features

• • • • • Safety: A zero speed safety switch prevents the cutting chamber door from being opened until all components have stopped.
        • Clean ability: Although this cantilever design is extremely rugged, it was designed with a pivoting feed table and upper feed roll for quick and easy material changeover.
        • Repairable Stellite Rotors: If the rotor tooth is damaged, bent or completely broken out we can repair a single tooth or all of them. This is possible due to the proprietary welding process developed by Bay Plastics Machinery.
