Superior Engineering Design Provides High Performance Die Plates
We use all the latest high precision manufacturing techniques to maximize design possibilities. Our engineers have the latest computer-aided design (CAD) tools available to allow:
- Effortless repeating of previous designs
- Easy modifications to improve performance or output
- Full design analysis prior to manufacturing
The following types of high performance internal die plate designs are available based on process needs or site utilities:
- Non-heated for low temperature water ring, or other applications
- Multi-zone/multi-pass channel for vapor or liquid heating medium
- Multi-zone heat exchanger for vapor or liquid heating medium
- Peripheral cored channels for vapor or liquid heating medium
- Electrical resistance cartridge heaters with orifice field penetrating or non-penetrating
- And many others
Many types of die plate facings are available to reduce pelletizing cutting knife wear and provide thermal barriers, such as:
- Tungsten carbide orifice tips which maintain a sharp edge mandrel for clean pellet cutting
- Tungsten carbide solid wear stubs for full blade support
- Full face nitriding of various types
- Full face carbides
- Ceramics
Die plates can be designed to receive molten feed material of all polymer types and processes. Selecting the best and proper technology to meet your virgin resin production, compounding, scrap reclaim or other processing needs is an important factor to your profitability. Very small to very large world class system die plates are available.
Whether you need a die plate for a Black Clawson Converting Machinery Pelletor® Underwater or Water Ring system or a competitors pelletizer we offer everything you need to produce high-quality, uniform pellets day after day and year after year. We offer many optional solutions to conventional, micro or macro pellet production by our unique design technology. These designs assure perfect cutting of a very broad product viscosity range. Our die plate is uniquely designed to work in either the Underwater or Water Ring cutting methods or both. Solution oriented options and features allow ease of operation, highest processing performance, and highest product quality.
We manufacture all the products and systems you need to produce the high-quality pellets your business demands. And, since we offer a full range of die plate model sizes, you get more than just proven quality and reliability. You get the freedom to build your die plate around the system components that meet your exact requirements. The end result is superior quality, highly reliable die plates that can turn your product into better pellets.
While the above may sound similar to other suppliers, we can assure you that the specific execution that we utilize is dramatically better. Upon request we can provide further specifics of our unique and proprietary approaches, on-going continuous improvements and can supply specific contact references. You can easily see why billions of pounds (kilograms) of pellets are produced every year on Black Clawson Converting Machinery die plates and pelletizers.
