BKG® Underwater Pelletizing Systems

BKG® Underwater Pelletizing Systems

for perfectly shaped pellets
Our BKG® pelletizing systems are a modern, cost-effective method of processing not only thermoplastics but also all materials that behave like thermoplastics ensuring a perfectly shaped pellet. There is almost no limit to suitable applications ranging from compounding, hotmelt, masterbatch, and polymerization, to recycling and reclaim. We provide engineered solutions that take your specific process to its maximum level of performance.

Advantages of BKG® Underwater Pelletizing Systems


  • Spherical pellet shape
    • Higher bulk density (5 – 10%)
    • Less dust during transportation of spherical pellets
    • Smaller contact areas of spherical pellets reduces stickiness
  • Almost all viscosities can be processed with UWP (approx. 3 Pas to 10.000 Pas)
  • Production of micro pellets
  • Automated system with constant product quality, independent on operators
  • Closed system with clean environment
  • Flexible footprint, less space “in line”

Suitable Polymers for BKG® Underwater Pelletizing Systems


  • Acrylic resins (e.g. PMMA)
  • EPS
  • Hotmelt adhesives (e.g. EVA-based, APAO-based, PA-based)
  • Natural resins (e.g. chewing gum)
  • Polyacetals  (e.g. POM)
  • Polyamides (e.g. PA 6, PA 6.6, PA 11, PA 12)
  • Polycarbonates (e.g. PC, Polyester, PET, PBT, PEN)
  • Polyolefins (e.g. LLDPE, LDPE, HDPE, PP, EPDM)
  • Polyurethanes (e.g. TPU)
  • Polyvinyl chlorides (e.g. PVC-P (Soft-PVC))
  • Styrene Polymers (e.g. PS, SAN, ABS)
  • Synthetic resins (e.g. epoxy resin)
  • Thermoplastic Elastomers (e.g. TPE-S, TPE-O, TPE-E, TPE-A)
  • Polymer blends
