Two-in-one pelletiser
P
elletiser/pulveriser supplier Reduction Engineering Scheer has launched the Bullet Series Strand Pelletiser that combines the technologies of Model 304 pelletiser and the E-Series pelletiser, which Reduction took over through its acquisition of Scheer Pelletizing Machinery in Stuttgart, Germany.The new equipment is said to be easier and faster to clean and service. It boasts tool-less removable in-feed and discharge chutes, which facilitate multiple material changeovers. This is particularly important for compounders who may have multiple changeovers during a shift. It also has a small footprint and minimised pellet hold-up points.
Another key feature is a single, large pneumatic cylinder with an upper feed roll that remains parallel with the bottom roll. It produces a uniform pulling force with varying diameter strands resulting in less waste.
