Pellet Mills

 

 

Pellet mills compress or extrude particles or fibrous materials into a cavity or die to form uniform cylindrical pellets. Compacted pellets are also formed using briquetters or tableting presses. Extruding pelletizers generate discrete and uniformly-sized particles from a melt or a polymer (reclaimed scrap, post consumer or virgin plastic), liquid-solid pastes with a binder or other meltable materials. The melt or paste is extruded through a die with multiple orifices. The pellet is sheared off or chopped after cooling / drying. Several types of pelletizers are available such as hot face, air, and cold cutting and underwater. Many types of pellet mills are available.
