Coperion's automatic strand conveying system ASC ensures fully automatic transfer from die head to pelletizer. Designed to work in conjunction with Coperion's two largest strand pelletizers, the SP 500 HD and the SP 700 HD, this conveyance system is likewise available in two sizes: the ASC 500 for throughput rates of up to 3.5 t/hr and the ASC 700 for up to 5 t/hr.
The conveyance system automatically guides the extruded strands via a cooling water chute and downstream conveyor belt into the feed mechanism of the pelletizer. A likewise automatic start-up mechanism facilitates the start-up operation, while any possible machine malfunctions caused by broken strands are avoided by the system's ability to rethread the strands.
