Versatile and Compact Pelletizer
The BKG Type AH underwater pelletizer is designed for medium throughputs and is a true all-rounder in pelletizing processes. With a compact and robust design combined with a high level of automation, it is an excellent solution for nearly all materials and applications.
Overview
The BKG Type AH underwater compact pelletizer features automatic hydraulic blade pressure regulation and is capable of handling a wide range of throughputs. It can be easily combined with most tempered water systems in our portfolio, making it suitable for numerous materials and proven applications.
A blade wear indicator and fully automatic re-sharpening during operation ensure consistent cutting quality, reduced downtime, and minimal operator intervention.
One Concept – Different Processes
To achieve the exact pellet size and quality you need, the BKG Type AH pelletizer is compatible with a wide variety of die plates and cutter hubs.

Benefitting Your Process
Increase Profitability
- Increase extruder uptime with maximum process continuity
- Save operating costs through simple handling and easy maintenance
- Be flexible by using different die plate/cutter hub combinations to suit your process
Increase Quality
- Produce precisely the pellet you want by combining it with a large variety of die plates and cutter hubs
- Achieve perfectly cut pellets even under changing process conditions with immediate and precise pressure adjustments
- Ensure consistent pellet quality regardless of operator experience with the easy-to-use control system
Increase Convenience
- Reduced wear due to optimized and constant pressure settings
- Minimize downtime and operator intervention with automatic blade regrinding during operation
- Eliminate the need for disassembly and external refurbishment with in-line grinding of die plates
- Start your line quickly and efficiently with an easy and fast startup process
Bypass
The BKG Bypass Piping system surrounds the cutting chamber, allowing precise timing of process water entry into the chamber. The system includes:
- (2) 2/2-way valves
- (1) 3/2-way valve
- PLC programming for optimized control.
Benefits
- Prevents freeze-off (blocking) of the die plate holes caused by premature process water entry
- Avoids pellet agglomeration caused by delayed process water entry
- Reduces volumetric loss of process water during pelletizer stoppage or uncoupling
