Noztek Pelletiser
Precision Pelletising for Advanced Composites — From Lab R&D to Full-Scale Production
Overview
The Noztek Pelletiser revolutionises in-house compounding by transforming extruded filaments into precision-cut pellets, enabling seamless creation of custom composites for aerospace, marine, racing, defence, and advanced research—materials that commercial suppliers can't provide. This dual-mode powerhouse bridges lab R&D to full-scale production, integrating flawlessly with the fusionX extruder for a complete pipeline.
With a 57 RPM right-angle motor delivering 35 Nm torque, it handles 0.5mm–3mm filaments at speeds from precise lab cuts (1m/6.5min) to high-volume production (4m/min, up to 86,400 pellets/hour). Interchangeable 440C hardened stainless steel blades—6-edge for micro-compounding and 24-edge for rapid manufacturing—ensure zero contamination, superior edge retention, and corrosion resistance, critical for pharmaceutical and classified applications.
Advanced safety includes a magnetic interlock that halts operations during access, plus motor jam protection. The intuitive 4.3-inch TFT touchscreen offers auto/manual modes with preprogrammed pellet lengths (0.3mm–10mm) or custom settings, simplifying setup and oversight.
Compact (44×30×25.5cm, 35kg) and universal-powered (110–240VAC), it eliminates supply chain dependencies, ensuring consistent material flow for large-format 3D printing and robotic systems. At £8,450, it's essential infrastructure for innovators demanding proprietary formulations, uninterrupted production, and military-grade precision—scale from prototype to factory without compromises.
Key Features
Quick Start
Preset pellet settings in auto mode enable rapid setup with precise, accurate output for immediate compounding in lab or production environments.
Interchangeable Cutting Discs
Easily switch between 6-edge blades for detailed R&D micro-compounding and 24-edge blades for high-speed production, optimising for volume and precision needs.
Hardened Stainless Steel Cutting Blades
440C surgical stainless steel blades provide extended durability, superior corrosion resistance, edge retention, and zero contamination risk for demanding composite applications.
Preprogrammed Length Settings
Choose from five preset pellet sizes (0.3mm–10mm) or manually customise lengths to match specific material formulations and manufacturing requirements.
Advanced Safety Protection
A unique magnetic safety interlock system deactivates all moving parts when the access plate is removed, preventing accidents and resuming seamlessly upon closure.
Integration
Fully compatible with the fusionX extruder or complete extrusion lines, enabling a streamlined workflow from material mixing to pellet production and beyond.
Performance & Precision
Dual-Mode Compounding Powerhouse
The Noztek Pelletiser excels as an all-in-one solution for lab and production, converting 0.5mm–3mm filaments into custom pellets for exotic composites in aerospace and defence. Its 35 Nm torque motor ensures reliable cutting at varying speeds, eliminating supply chain issues and enabling proprietary material creation with consistent flow for large-format printing.
Precision Blade Technology
Featuring interchangeable 440C hardened stainless steel blades—6-edge for R&D precision and 24-edge for high-output manufacturing—the pelletiser delivers up to 1,440 pellets per minute. This military-grade durability resists wear and corrosion, ensuring contamination-free processing ideal for pharmaceutical and research applications requiring exact tolerances.
Intuitive Touchscreen Control
The 4.3-inch TFT touchscreen offers auto and manual modes with preprogrammed lengths or custom settings, simplifying operation from setup to monitoring. Users can achieve pellet outputs from 0.3mm to 10mm with ease, supporting quick transitions between small-batch experiments and scaled production without complex adjustments.
Safety & Integration
Advanced Safety Mechanisms
Equipped with a magnetic interlock that halts all components during access, emergency shutdown, and motor jam protection, the pelletiser prioritises user safety in demanding environments. This robust system prevents accidents and equipment damage, making it suitable for high-stakes labs and manufacturing floors.
Seamless System Integration
Designed to integrate directly with the fusionX extruder or full extrusion lines, it creates an efficient pipeline for compounding workflows. This compatibility supports continuous production, from initial material development to feeding robotic systems, enhancing scalability for research institutions and industrial users.
Compact and Versatile Design
With a brushed stainless steel build, compact footprint (44×30×25.5cm, 35kg), and universal power (110–240VAC), the pelletiser fits any workspace while delivering low-noise, easy-maintenance operation. Accessories like dual cutting discs ensure immediate versatility for diverse applications, from marine composites to space-grade materials.
