With the hot cutter, the extrudate can be reliably processed into pellets 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 enable the production of pellet sizes between 0.5 and 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.
