Quality fluctuations in particle size, shape, and moisture during pelletizing

Problem Phenomenon
Quality fluctuations in particle size, shape, and moisture during pelletizing
Cause Analysis
Pellet cutting speed and extrusion speed not matched, particle size fluctuates Pellet cutting tool worn, uneven cut, irregular particle shape Cooling water temperature too high, particles stick together Cellulose acetate butyrate pellets have high moisture content, need drying before use Particles hollow or with bubbles after pelletizing
Solution
Match pellet cutting speed with extrusion speed Regularly replace pellet cutting tools Control cooling water temperature to prevent sticking Dry after pelletizing under 75-85°C/3-4h conditions Control extrusion temperature to avoid particle bubbles
Key Takeaway
Pelletizing requires matched speed and drying
