Coperion Pelletizing Technology GmbH, Offenbach, Germany, has developed an automatic strand conveyance system (ASC), often required by compounding systems where pellets are produced at very high throughput rates. Designed to work in conjunction with the company's two large strand pelletizers, the SP 500 HD (working width 500mm) and the SP 700 HD (700mm), this new conveyance system is likewise available in two sizes: the ASC 500 for throughput rates of up to 3.5t/h and the ASC 700 for up to 5t/h. The conveyance system automatically guides the extruded strands via a cooling water chute and downstream conveyor belt into the feed mechanism of the pelletizer. The ASC is modular, permitting flexible and rapid adaptation to the requirements of the process. If, for example, the extruded material requires more intensive cooling, the strands – after being cooled in the water chute – can also be spray-cooled with cold water on the downstream perforated conveyor. Coperion's new ASC may be used for a broad spectrum of materials. www.coperion.com
