PKM800 Pallmann Industries’ new pulverizer can process extruded PVC scrap at rates up to 2,000 pounds per hour so that it can be mixed with virgin resin and returned to the manufacturing process. The machine uses segment cutting technology, which features different types of serrations for different applications, making it adaptable to many different plastic materials.
What’s new? An enclosed, pulse jet bag housing that contains the dust. Unlike units with traditional hanging filter bag plenums, the PKM800 blows out air and discharges the dust downward into a container.
Benefits Cleanliness, efficiency and productivity. Segment cutting technology employs a scissors cutting action, for more efficient use of cutting energy, less heating and the production of fewer fines. The company said the PKM800 outperforms the previous competitive model by two to one in terms of production. The pulverizer produces a high-quality powder with uniformly sized particles for better finished part quality. Additionally, Pallmann constructs the machine with strong weldments, instead of standard castings, for durability and long service life.
