Pharma Process Equipment | Hot Cutter

With the hot die, the extrudate can be reliably processed into pellets or granules with one or more knives in direct contact with the die plate. Both wet and melt extrudates can be processed. The number of knives used and the speed setting allow the production of pellet lengths or pellet sizes between 0.5 to 10 mm.

The hot cutter is controlled by means of an integrated potentiometer or optionally directly via the control system of the Three-Tec extruder. An optional housing is available for the hot cutter.

• Compact design
• Pellet length 0.1 to 10 mm
• Retrofittable
• Very brittle extrudates can be cut, since the extrudate strand is still warm and thus plastic and too short to break
• Since the cut extrudates are still plastic, they can be directly formed into perfect spherical extrudates
