The new Piranha repelletizer from Advanced Blending Solutions is compact and efficient.

Piranha Advanced Blending Solutions’ new in-line trim and roll repelletizer can help plastics processors reprocess trim and roll waste easily. The direct extrusion system is designed for repelletizing pre-shredded or granulated materials, or loose materials such as caps or lids.

What’s new? The repelletizer, which is being introduced at NPE.

Benefits Space savings, energy efficiency and minimal maintenance requirements. The repelletizer’s advanced screw geometry ensures precise melt temperature control, minimizing the risk of material bridging with its large feed entry. The air pelletizing system delivers consistent, high-quality pellets, while the large collector chamber facilitates efficient cooling and material conveying. Easy-access cleaning minimizes downtime, and the no-set-up design maximizes operator convenience. The dicer cassette and knife-blade system ensure consistent pellet sizes.
