Granulator (Pelletizing Machine)

A compact pelletizing unit that converts extrudate strands into pellets in a controlled manner.

Three-Tec's granulator is used to convert strands into pellets. The feed roller speed and cutting blade speed can be adjusted independently of each other; this means the extrudate feed can be perfectly matched to the extrudate, and pellet length can be adjusted during processing. The pelletizer has an integrated control system with a touch panel for user-friendly operation, or can be integrated into a higher-level system via an interface. The compact design allows the instrument to be placed inside an isolator or in a laboratory environment with limited space.

  • Compact design — suited to an isolator or limited laboratory space
  • User-friendly, touch-panel operation
  • Custom rotating blades with different blade counts depending on the application
  • Cutting-edge design allows easy granulation of both soft and hard extrudates
  • Pellet length is adjustable during processing
