A water bath can optimize your pelletizing process, and Bay Plastics Machinery can optimize your water bath.
Our water baths are custom built in a variety of shapes and sizes, and are manufactured to accommodate most all extrusion applications. If Bay Plastics does not currently produce a water bath for your application, we will work with our on-site engineering staff to customize a unit for your specific requirements.
The BPM WBX series water baths come standard with adjustable legs allow your water bath to be adapted to various pelletizers and extruders. The water baths are specifically designed for stand pelletizing also include locking quick-releasing hold-down bars to keep your strands running straight and even. The 2” diameter rollers on these bars are grooved to keep the strands aligned, and are made of UHMWPE (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight PolyEthylene), which reduces friction between the roller and the strands. A standard water bath can have three-to-five hold-down bars, depending on its length.

Our optional water recirculation systems are also custom designed to meet your specific requirements. These systems include a pump, heat exchanger, strainer, and starting electrics. To compensate for evaporation and spillage, these units utilize an automatic water make-up circuit to keep the tank full and operating at an optimum level. BPM offers several options when it comes to heat exchanges, the standard is a sealed plate unit; however, plate-and-frame, and shell-and-tube units are available upon request.
