Introduction
In the modern plastic recycling industry, water ring cutting pelletizers stand out as a highly efficient and reliable solution for converting plastic waste into uniform, high-quality granules. Designed to meet the needs of both small-scale recyclers and large industrial plants, these systems provide a cost-effective and sustainable method for managing and reprocessing plastic materials.
At Rumtoo, we specialize in advanced pelletizing systems that integrate precision engineering with energy-efficient performance—helping recyclers achieve consistent output and maximize profitability.
Understanding the Water Ring Cutting Process
A water ring cutting pelletizer operates by extruding molten plastic through a precision die plate. As the melted plastic exits the die holes, rotating blades cut it into small pellets. These pellets are immediately surrounded by a ring of circulating water, which cools and solidifies them before they are separated and dried.
This closed-loop cooling and cutting system ensures clean, uniform granules while minimizing material loss and operator intervention.
Key steps in the process:
- Melting and extrusion of plastic material
- High-speed cutting using a rotating water ring blade
- Instant pellet cooling and solidification in the water flow
- Dewatering and drying for final packaging or reuse
Advantages of Water Ring Cutting Pelletizers
1. High Efficiency
Water ring pelletizers handle throughputs from 100 kg/h up to 1,000 kg/h, making them suitable for operations of all sizes. The integrated design ensures continuous production with minimal downtime.
2. Superior Pellet Quality
The water ring system produces smooth, uniform, and glossy pellets—ideal for applications where consistent quality is essential, such as film extrusion, injection molding, and compounding.
3. Material Versatility
These pelletizers are capable of processing a wide range of plastics, including:
- PP (Polypropylene)
- HDPE / LDPE (Polyethylene)
- PS (Polystyrene)
- PA (Nylon)
- ABS
- PET flakes
They are especially effective when paired with soft plastic pelletizing machines, which handle flexible materials such as LDPE, LLDPE, and film waste efficiently.

4. Energy Efficiency
Compared with traditional strand or die-face cutting methods, water ring cutting systems consume less power and water. The integrated cooling loop and compact layout reduce heat loss and improve overall energy performance.
5. Stable Operation and Easy Maintenance
Automatic control of temperature, pressure, and pellet size ensures consistent operation. Quick-change blades and a simplified structure make maintenance fast and cost-effective.
Applications Across Industries
Water ring cutting pelletizers are widely used across many industrial sectors:
- Plastic Packaging Recycling
Transform packaging waste into reusable raw material for film and sheet production. - Automotive Components
Recycle PP, ABS, and PA automotive parts to support sustainable manufacturing. - Construction Materials
Produce recycled granules for use in plastic pipes, fittings, and boards. - Consumer Goods
Recycled pellets can be molded into household products, toys, or containers, promoting a closed-loop production cycle.
