The
PELLETMAX (ROTOMEX/Pelletizer Cutter combination)
has the capability to cut uncured pellets of rubber. The cutter incorporates a balanced, multiple cutting blade system. The cutting head is mounted on a precision linear slide to allow access for die change or clean out; a precision stop is provided to allow repeatability of set up.
An anti-tack
lubrication with closed-loop recirculation system for the
lubricant is included;
reservoir holds anti-tack lubricant; lubricant is circulated via a circulation pump and sprayed into cutting area.
All cutter
functions are synchronized to the ROTOMEX through PLC and
controlled
via an Allen Bradley SLC 5/04 with Panelview interface screen. The pelletizer cutter head is completely guarded; all access points to the cutter are interlocked; all materials coming into contact with lubricant are corrosive resistant. |

PELLETMAX CONVEYING / DRYING SYSTEM Pellets fall through a chute attached to cut head onto a short open accumulation / feed conveyor; conveyor belt is mesh, allowing lubricant to pass through belt and into angled catch trays, which channels lubricant back to reservoir for closed-loop circulation; conveyor has raised edges to trap pellets on conveyor and includes containment chute to capture pellets coming from cutter.
The first
(accumulation / feed) conveyor then transports pellets onto a
second,
air cooling conveyor that runs perpendicular to the first conveyor, is hooded and provides forced air cooling/drying to pellets.
A regenerative
blower and nozzles provide forced air cooling and drying by
agitating pellets
on mesh conveyor belt.
A spreading
system is incorporated to spread pellets relatively evenly on
conveyor belt
to enhance drying.
At the exit
(downstream) end of second conveyor, dried pellets will drop
into customer’s
accumulation box; guiding will be provided to direct pellets into customer provided accumulation bins. All speeds and functions are controlled through Panelview interface screen. Conveyor frames are manufactured from stainless steel and are enclosed in stainless steel sheet metal to insure lubricant is contained. |
