Bay latest pelletizer improved, renamed

Bay Plastics Machinery Corp. has improved the design of the cantilever-style pelletizer, renaming it the Z Series.

“The changes are focused on making the machine more robust and easier/faster to clean between material changeovers,” said Tom Kernstock, executive vice president. “The compounding and colorant industries have changed to require shorter runs and more frequent changeovers to meet the customer needs of smaller lot sizes.”

The auxiliary equipment maker in Bay City, Mich., made several key changes to reduce the time it takes to clean the machine, and remove every pellet from the previous run. The redesigned feed table is easily removed without the use of tools, giving complete access to the cutting chamber.

BPM has made the discharge chute removable, ensuring complete clean-out between material runs. Other features include a supported bed knife holder.
