Delta Kunststoffe AG specialises in colour master batches, electrically conductive plastics, additive batches and special compounds. As an experienced compound contract manufacturer, Delta also produces respective products in accordance with customer specifications. The independent compound manufacturer already uses several conventional strand pelletizing systems from ips for its product range. “The innovative approach of the ips underwater pelletizing systems such as the pelletizer’s swivel system or the simple change of the cutter hub had us convinced. And the extremely clear layout and user-friendliness of the control design is a great boost for our machine operators. Another important aspect for us is that ips took the user-specific demands we make on the machine into consideration without restrictions and implemented these,” says Manfred Fiedler, Operations Manager at Delta Kunststoffe AG, explaining why the company chose ips once again.
The ips-UWG 75 S is suitable for the production of spherical pellets of thermoplastic material in raw material production, the master batch and compounding industry and for recycling plants. ips not only supplies the actual pelletizing unit, it provides the complete pelletizing system, comprising melt pump, screen changer, start-up valve, die plate with pelletizing unit, process water system and pellet dryer.
“From individual components through to complete solutions, the modular design of our systems both for strand pelletizing and for underwater pelletizing offer our customers a huge degree of flexibility. Customers get exactly the system they need,” explains Gerald Weis, owner and managing director of ips.
