A die plate for underwater pelletizing
In May 2022, this company acquired the French tool manufacturer AMN DPI (AMN), thus continuing its growth as an integrated supplier of systems for the plastics industry. For the first time, a complete AMN Central Injection System (CIS) consisting of a 1,500-mm diameter die plate with a central water injection and sword-shaped knives (photo) will be exhibited at K 2022. CIS was designed to improve pellet cooling and ejection and is an effective solution for high-melt-index or peroxided polymers. Die plates are the heart of the underwater pelletizing system; necessary to produce high-quality and consistent pellets. Over many years, the unique technologies of AMN die plates have demonstrated their performance and longevity in many applications, especially for high capacity underwater pelletizers.
