ips Intelligent Pelletizing Solutions GmbH & Co. KG in Niedernberg, Germany, has recently started offering underwater pelletizing systems in addition to individually aligned strand pelletizing lines. The first two ips-UWG 75 S systems have now gone into operation at Delta Kunststoffe AG in Weeze on the Lower Rhine.

Specialities of Delta Kunststoffe AG are colour masterbatches, electrically conductive plastics, additive batches and special compounds. As a contract compounder, Delta also manufactures suitable products according to customer specifications. The independent compounder already uses several conventional strand pelletizing lines from ips for its product range.

Easy change of the cutter head

"The innovative solutions of the ips underwater pelletizing systems have convinced us, such as the swivel system of the pelletizer or the simple change of the cutter head. And the very clear and user-friendly control system is also very convenient for our machine operators. Another important aspect for us is that ips responds fully to our application-specific needs for the machines and implements them", says Manfred Fiedler, plant manager at Delta Kunststoffe AG, explaining the renewed decision in favour of ips.

According to the supplier, the ips-UWG 75 is suitable for the production of spherical thermoplastic granules in the raw material production, masterbatch and compounding industries as well as for recycling plants. ips offers not only the actual pelletizing unit, but also the complete pelletizing system, consisting of melt pump, screen changer, start-up valve, die plate with pelletizing unit, process water system and pellet dryer.

"From individual parts to complete solutions, we offer our customers a high degree of flexibility thanks to the modular design of our systems for both strand and underwater pelletizing. The customer gets our systems exactly as he needs them", explains Gerald Weis, owner and managing director of ips.
