PALLMANN - John Wood & Associates

Compounders produce granules
that consist of mixtures of various
plastic and rubber types as well
as other additives.
The starting material is present in
granule form and must be
pulverized in order to increase the
surface volume of the base
material so that the additives, in
form of pigments, UV-stabilizers,
softeners and other materials,
adhere well to it. After compounding,
granules are present in many
Kunststoffe feinmahlen
Pulverizing of Plastics
colours and must be partially
pulverized again before further
processing.
PALLMANN has developed a very
compact pulverization system,
type PM in various sizes for these
applications. The throughput rates
vary between 5 and 1500 kg/h.
The system consists of only a few
components that can be easily
disassembled for quick cleaning.
The mill is manufactured in a spe-
cial process without any welding
seams in order to achieve smooth
surfaces. Cyclone, piping and
ventilator are connected with snap
buckles so that the parts in contact
with the powder can be quickly
disassembled. This is very
important for the preparation of
the system when changing
colours.
Well-known compounding companies
worldwide work with these
proven products from PALLMANN
and produce granules and
powders of highest quality for
demanding applications in the
injection moulding, extrusion and
rotational moulding fields.
