ストランドカット vs 水リング式造粒:材質と TCO(総保有コスト)による選定

Choosing between strand pelletising and water ring pelletising isn’t just a preference for “wet” or “dry” cutting. It changes what controls pellet quality, what fails first during a disruption, and where your real cost-per-tonne sits (wear parts, drying, changeovers, and scrap). In UK compounding and recycling—especially when you’re running high-fill, glass fibre, mineral-loaded, or high-recycled-content streams—the wrong selection can show up as fines, tails, unstable throughput, and a maintenance plan that never quite matches reality. In this guide you’ll learn how material behaviour maps to each process, what “stable throughput” really means day-to-day, how pellet quality levers work (die–knife pairing, gap control, drying), and a practical TCO model you can […]
