Dry cut Pelletizer for downstream extrusion line
20 - 80 strands.
Our ASL series Pelletisers are available in feed widths from 150 to 400mm.
Designed to cover a wide range of heavy duty production requirements these machines will withstand the most rigorous demands of plastic compounding extrusion lines. An efficient cutting action enables high pellet outputs to be achieved when processing various materials including abrasive glass and mineral-filled plastics.
Series ASL Pelletisers come with dual drive as standard with a separate drive powering both feed rolls and rotor allowing pellet lengths to be changed without the need of a gear box and change gears.
Safe no tools access to the feed and cutting chamber allows easy clean-down and maintenance the modular design of the machine allows the feed rolls to be removed quickly for maintenance, the machine is fitted with safety interlocks and safety monitor circuit to ensure safe access to the machine cutting chamber.
A food grade version of this machine is also available for cutting extruded cereal ropes the ASL machine can also handle the softest of materials.
Dual drive as standard for pellet length adjustment
Series ASL Pelletisers come with dual drive as standard separate drives power both the feed rolls and rotor allowing pellet lengths to be changed without the need of change gears. Pellet lengths can be adjusted in production once the desired pellet is achieved the line speed can be adjusted maintaining the same pellet throughout the line speed range.
Modular design for easy clean down and maintenance
Safe no tools access to the feed rolls and cutting chamber allows easy clean-down and maintenance, the modular design of the machine allows the feed rolls to be removed and changed quickly with the minimum of downtime.
Upper feed roll driven as standard
The upper feed roll is driven to allow maximum strand traction with special deep tooth gears this gear arrangement does not require any lubrication and is supplied as standard on all our machines
Strand Cutter and bed knife
The machine can be supplied with various cutter materials to suit any product; the bed knife is solid carbide as standard the bed knife has four usable edges.
Built to your requirements
All our machines are manufactured to suit your requirements, discharge chutes can be manufactured to suit any sieve unit or collection vessel, side steps and front steps are optional extras for easy maintenance. Pelletiser controls can be positioned on the enclosure or the front of the machine, we will send you a drawing to approve and you can request modifications to suit your extrusion line requirements.
Cutting soft materials
All Accrapak machines have a straight feed table which does not allow the strands to be bent towards the cutter, this is essential for the production of soft materials. The machine is also used for food grade applications for cutting extremely soft materials.
Cutting glass filled materials
An efficient cutting action enables high pellet outputs to be achieved when processing various materials including abrasive glass and mineral-filled plastics, optional extras can be supplied to allow for additional wear protection and
heat resistance of all wearable parts inside the cutting chamber. Additional wear plates can be fitted in the discharge chute.
Safe no tool access
A solenoid locking safety switch is fitted to the main hood and discharge chute the switches locks the hood and discharge chute until the machine has come to a complete standstill. Once the machine has stopped the hood can be opened and the chute can be removed for easy cleaning.
