What Sets Our Helical Pelletizer Rotors Apart
Advanced Helical Design
Engineered for smooth, consistent cutting action, our helical pelletizer rotors reduce wear and tear on both the rotor and die plate — producing uniform pellets that improve downstream processing and final product quality.
High-Grade Materials & Surface Coatings
Our knives are crafted from wear-resistant tool steels and high-performance metals such as D-2, powdered metals like CPM 10V® and CPM M4®, as well as solid or inlaid Stellite® and ICE™ Inlaid Carbide Extreme.
To further enhance durability and corrosion resistance under extreme conditions, we offer optional coatings including tungsten carbide and zirconia ceramics.
Precision Manufacturing
Our rotors are CNC sharpened to OEM specs with 0.0005″ concentricity and mirror finishes. We offer bolt-in, wedge lock, and solid head rotors, all manufactured to tight tolerances for reliable, repeatable performance. Each rotor can be tailored to your application for maximum efficiency.
