Niedernberg/Germany, 13.08. 2018. Niedernberg-based ips Intelligent Pelletizing Solutions GmbH & Co. KG is delivering four underwater strand pelletizing systems of the type HJCH9 with a working width of 900 mm to a German customer. Each of the systems will be supplemented by a strand die head of the type ips-SGK 720 – now with an automatic scraping device developed by ips as a brand new feature.

ips has now produced and sold machines of this magnitude for the first time. The pelletizing specialist purchased the underwater strand pelletizing systems from his South-Korean partner Han Jin Ind. Co. Ltd. for this. They were re-engineered, completed and meet all the requirements of the CE standard. Thanks to the large working width, the systems can process up to six tonnes of polycarbonate per hour into cylindrical pellets.

The underwater strand pelletizing systems have each been supplemented by a strand die head for which ips has developed and constructed an automatic scraping device. It has been registered as a utility model with the German Patent and Trademark Office and entered in the register accordingly.

Together with Han Jin, ips supplies complete underwater pelletizing systems including the necessary peripheral equipment up to a working width of 1,200 mm and a maximum throughput of 18 tonnes per hour.
