Introduction of Plastic Pellet Cutting Machine

A plastic pellet cutting machine, also known as a Pellet cutter, is a specially designed machine for converting extruded plastic strips into uniform pellets. The machine typically consists of key components, including a feeding system, cutting blades, a rotating rotor, and a screen or template for size control.

A plastic granule cutter is a supporting equipment for plastic recycling machinery, applicable to most common waste plastics, and is a kind of pellet-cutting machine welcomed by medium and large-scale plastic recycling pelletizing users.

Different models of plastic pellet cutting machines.

Plastic Pelletizer Cutter Structure

  • Appearance: metal casing with transparent observation window and ventilation holes;
  • Operation interface: control buttons, voltage and current meter in the upper left corner;
  • Cutter section: located above the center of the machine, with protective cover and feed guide;
  • Mobility: The bottom of the machine is equipped with pulleys for easy movement.

Plastic Dana Cutter Machine principle

The working principle of the plastic cutter is through the rolling knife with the bottom knife, the plastic long strip is cut into small particles. The plastic granule cutter machine’s rolling and cutting speed is uniform, and it is the necessary machinery and equipment for the plastic regeneration granulation industry.

Step 1: Pelletizing

Firstly, the plastic raw materials (such as PE, PP, ABS, etc.) are heated and melted by the plastic pelletizing extruder, and are stably extruded into continuous strips under the screw extrusion. The thickness of the strips can be adjusted by the aperture of the die head to meet the requirements of different pellet sizes.

Step 2: Cooling

The temperature of the freshly extruded plastic strips is high, so they need to be immediately passed through a section of water tank equipped with a cooling function, usually a stainless steel cooling water tank, in which tap water or circulating water can be continuously circulated.

Step 3: Dewatering

The cooled plastic strip contains a certain amount of water, which needs to be removed by a blow dryer. This link can be flexibly configured according to the layout of the production line to ensure that the strips are clean, dry, and continuously fed into the pelletizer.

Step 4: Cutting

After the plastic strips enter the pelletizer, the core hob shaft starts to rotate at a high speed, and together with the fixed blades below or on the side, the strips are precisely cut into plastic pellets of uniform size and neat shape. The length of the pellets can be fine-tuned by adjusting the cutter gap, rotational speed, and feeding speed to achieve a customized pelletizing effect.

About the parameters of the plastic dana cutter machine

Core Function of Plastic Pellet Cutting Machine

The core function of the plastic granule cutter is to accurately process plastic materials into pellets of uniform size and to ensure pellet quality, production safety, and efficiency.

Plastic pelletizer cutter adopts a high-precision alloy cutting blade and special alloy material, combined with a precision die head, cutting plastic into consistent shape pellets by precise shearing; a feed system with variable speed control for stable feeding, cutting rotor speed adjustable, so as to accurately control the diameter and length of pellets.

Features of Plastic Dana Cutter

  • The plastic granule cutter’s overall toughness and hardness are consistent and reusable to ensure cutting performance and service life.
  • Fixed tools are hook-mounted to optimize tool change functions and improve tool maintenance and replacement efficiency.
  • The plastic dana cutter machine knife shaft is made of high-strength, heavy-duty special steel processed and refined, providing powerful power for more reasonable cutting.
  • The Dana cutting machine knives are made of special alloy steel for durability.

Pellet Cutting Equipment Application

Plastic pellet cutting machine occupies a central position in the plastics processing and recycling industry, and is mainly used to cut molten extruded plastic strips or bars into plastic pellets of uniform specifications.

Finished Products of Dana Cutting Machine

The plastic pellet cutting machine is mainly used to cut the long strips pulled out of the plastic pelletizing machine into small pellets.

Plastic Granules Cutter Machine Blade

The hob knife is a kind of cylindrical, diagonal spiral hobbing way, also known as a granulator blade, divided into two kinds of integral steel and inlaid welded hard alloy steel. The manufacturing process is complex, fixed knife using a flat knife strip design. The knife is installed in the plastic cutting machine’s rotating spindle.

FAQs of Pellet Cutting Equipment

What should I do if the shape of the pellet cut out by the plastic pellet cutting machine is irregular?

Check the blade for wear or improper clearance, and adjust the position of the cutter or replace the blade.

Why is the material easily stuck during the pelletizing process?

It may be the guiding device or uneven feeding speed; it is recommended to clean the guiding device and adjust the feeding speed.

Is it normal for the cutting machine to get very hot?

Some heat is normal during high-speed operation in the Plastic pellet cutting machine, but excessive heat may indicate bearing or lubrication issues.
