Underwater Die Face Resurfacing
Premature wear on small underwater pelletizing blades is a common industry issue. In our experience, often the problem is caused by breakdown of the die rather than a failure of the blade itself.
Continuous use wears down pelletizing die surfaces, leading to the formation of grooves. Smooth die faces are crucial to prevent unpredictable start-up and uneven knife wear. Worn die extrusion holes develop rounded edges, resulting in tails and inconsistent pellet quality.
Remove Imperfections to save time, improve throughput, and save on blade costs. Generally, if you can feel an imperfection on the surface of your die, it needs to be reconditioned.
