Custom die plate

Thanks to the nibs’ technology and the hardness of tungsten carbide, the TCT cutting face offers a high resistance against wear as well as thermal and mechanical stresses. Evenly distributed over the cutting face, the nibs’ technology participates in maintaining the most optimal cutting quality even in the longest production runs and provide an exceptional longevity to the die plate.

The HOW heating circuit design guarantees a homogeneous circulation of the fluid below the die plate surface. In its oil configuration, it maximizes the oil flow while keeping a low differential pressure. In its steam configuration, it ensures that condensates can always flow easily outside of the die plate. Always adapted to the product hole geometry and located as close as possible to the product holes, the HOW design is the key to great heating performances

To maintain the heating performances of the die plate, the API vacuum gaps are located directly under the cutting face. By protecting both the heating channels and the polymer circuit, the API technology participates in providing efficient heating homogeneity from the die plate startup and throughout its lifetime.

Specifically designed to produce high MI or complex polymers, the CIS system increases the water flow locally to facilitate cutting, improve pellet quality and reduce cavitation phenomena. Easily plugged on existing installations, the additional water flow is then efficiently distributed thanks to the knife holder equipped with a cone and saber knives, facilitating pellet cooling and ejection.
