Frequently Asked Questions About Pelletizers
What factors should I consider when selecting a pelletizer for my operation?
Key considerations include your production volume requirements, material characteristics (hardness, moisture content, etc.), desired pellet specifications (size, density), available power supply, space constraints, and budget. Our technical team can help assess these factors to recommend the most suitable model for your specific needs.
What maintenance is required for MAIKONG pelletizer machines?
Regular maintenance includes inspection of cutting blades, die plates, and bearings; lubrication of moving components; cleaning of material pathways; and inspection of electrical systems. MAIKONG provides detailed maintenance schedules and procedures in our operation manuals. Typical maintenance intervals range from daily inspections to monthly component checks, with major service recommended every 2,000 operating hours.
What is the difference between a strand pelletizer and an underwater pelletizer?
Strand pelletizers cool extruded material in water baths before cutting into pellets, making them suitable for most thermoplastics and offering excellent pellet uniformity. Underwater pelletizers cut molten material directly in a water chamber, providing advantages for heat-sensitive materials and higher production rates. MAIKONG offers both types to accommodate different material requirements and production objectives.
Are spare parts readily available for MAIKONG pelletizers in South Africa?
Yes, MAIKONG maintains a comprehensive inventory of spare parts for all our pelletizer models, with distribution centers serving South Africa. Common wear components such as cutting blades, die plates, and bearings are available for immediate shipment. For specialized components, our efficient supply chain ensures delivery within 7-10 business days. We also provide detailed parts catalogs and maintenance kits for preventive maintenance programs.
What warranty coverage is provided with MAIKONG pelletizers?
New MAIKONG pelletizers include a comprehensive 24-month warranty covering manufacturing defects and component failures under normal operating conditions. Reconditioned machines come with a 6-month warranty. Extended warranty options are available for up to 5 years. Our warranty includes technical support and replacement parts, with service available throughout South Africa.
