BKG® Type A Underwater Pelletizers
The BKG® Type A is our basic pelletizer, providing all the essentials for a great cut and a high-quality pellet. It is designed for small throughputs, and its simple handling and easy operation make it an excellent and robust pelletizer at an economical price.
Overview
The BKG® Type A underwater pelletizer with manual blade pressure regulation has all the essentials you need to produce great pellets. It can handle smaller throughputs and is combinable with several tempered water systems in our portfolio. It's suitable for a lot of materials and has been proven in countless applications.
One concept - Different processes
To produce precisely the pellet you envision, the BKG® Type A pelletizer can be equipped with a great diversity of die plates and cutter hubs.

How It Works
General working principle of a BKG® Underwater Pelletizer
Bypass
The BKG® Bypass Piping indicates the piping surrounding the cutting chamber. Entry of process water into the cutting chamber can be precisely timed via the bypass piping system, including (2) 2/2-way and (1) 3/2-way valves and related PLC programming.
Benefits
- Prevents freeze-off (blocking) of the die plate holes caused by the process water entering the cutting chamber too early
- Prevents agglomeration of the pellets caused by the process water entering the cutting chamber too late
- Mitigates a high volumetric loss of process water when stopping/uncoupling the pelletizer
