A pelletizer is a machine used to create small, round pellets from various materials, such as plastics, food, or animal feed. The process typically involves melting the raw material and then forcing it through a die to form uniform shapes. These pellets are easier to handle, transport, and process compared to bulk materials. Pelletizers are commonly used in industries like plastics manufacturing, food processing, and animal nutrition. They help improve efficiency and consistency in production. The resulting pellets can be used in various applications, including extrusion, compounding, and as feed for livestock.
