Gala Underwater Pelletizing Systems are frequently used for the continuous and discontinuous production process of polycondensation polymer pellets (polyamides, polyester, etc.) downstream of a reactor.

A Gala Continuous Process (CP) System can include: * melt pump * screen changer for melt filtration * pelletizer * dwell time definition * pellet dewatering * caprolactam handling (only for PA-6) * process water heating and filtration * integration of the extraction (only for PA-6) * dryer * overall line control * redundant design * multiple lines in a parallel arrangement to achieve daily output In the transition from the traditional strand pelletizing process to underwater, it is irrelevant whether the user opts for a continuous or a discontinuous process in the early stages of the project planning and design. Gala’s state-of-the-art underwater pelletizing technology can be used with either process and, due to the modular design, can later be easily changed.
