Pelletizer/Research Development

Basics

• This page aims to organise and conduct research on the Pelletizer.

Main Types of Pelletizers

Screw Based

• Similar to a filament extruder, but with a rotating "cutter" on one end
• Changing the speed of the cutter wheel changes the pellet length
• Due to being able to seal the tube, and still run the screw, can higher densities be reached due to the increased pressure? Needs More Research
• These have less throughput, so may not be the best option for large scale use, but better for home use perhaps
