What are pellets?
Pellets are small granular shaped materials.
Plastic pellets are small granular plastic materials mainly made by processing plastic raw materials. The color and shape vary depending on the raw material and application, but generally they are small spherical or cylindrical granules with a diameter of 3 to 5 mm. These plastic pellets are used for molding and processing products.
Why are plastic pellets used?
Why are plastic pellets used for molding and processing?
1) Ease of handling and preservation
Plastic raw materials are made into small granules as pellets, which are easier to handle. Pellets are also packaged in bags or containers, which provide better shelf life to prevent moisture and contamination. They can be handled efficiently by manufacturing plants and plastics processors.
(2) Uniform quality and performance can be ensured.
Plastic pellets are of a certain size and shape and are highly uniform as a raw material, ensuring consistency in product quality and performance. This uniformity also affects properties such as product strength and durability.
(iii) Enables efficient molding process
Plastic pellets are easily melted by heating, a characteristic that facilitates smooth processing in molding machines. This improves efficiency in the molding process, enabling mass production and the manufacture of high-quality products.
In general, plastic pellets play an important role in the manufacture and processing of plastic products. Their high uniformity, ease of handling, and characteristics that enable efficient molding processes make them an indispensable raw material for plastics that are widely used in a variety of industries.
