pelletizers
Material compacting machines
Pelletizers are machines that compress or shape material into pellets—small, rounded pieces uniform in size.
They're used in manufacturing plastics, animal feed, fertilizer, and pharmaceuticals.
The raw material enters as powder, paste, or molten substance and exits as compact pellets easier to handle, store, and transport: The factory installed new pelletizers to process recycled plastic.
