Product description

JINFENG manufactures underwater pelletizer die plates for extrusion pelletizing. The plate design is developed around the resin grade, granulation process and operating conditions of the production line.

Numerical simulation and finite element analysis support the design of hot runners, melt passages, die holes, insulation structures, cutting areas and the plate body.

Steam or thermal oil heating

The existing range uses steam at pressures up to 6 MPa or thermal oil at temperatures up to 300 °C. Heating requirements are considered with the process conditions when the die plate is designed.
