Apparatus for producing a polymer pellet

Abstract

An apparatus for producing a polymer pellet is provided. The apparatus includes a conveying mechanism configured to convey a coated polymer, a supporting mechanism configured to support the coated polymer, a supporting plate having a deforming and cutting mechanism configured to deform and cut the coated polymer, a reciprocating mechanism configured to reciprocate the supporting plate upwardly and downwardly, and a collector configured to collect cut pellets. The reciprocating mechanism holds the supporting plate so that the deforming and cutting mechanism faces the coated polymer.

1 . An apparatus for producing a polymer pellet comprising:
 a conveying mechanism configured to convey a coated polymer,   a supporting mechanism configured to support the coated polymer,   a supporting plate having a deforming and cutting mechanism configured to deform and cut the coated polymer,   a reciprocating mechanism configured to reciprocate the supporting plate upwardly and downwardly, the reciprocating mechanism holding the supporting plate so that the deforming and cutting mechanism faces the coated polymer, and   a collector configured to collect cut pellets.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus for producing a polymer pellet according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the conveying mechanism comprises a delivery roll;   the supporting mechanism comprises an anvil roll;   the deforming and cutting mechanism comprises a pressing roll and a cutting roll in which the pressing roll presses the coated polymer on the anvil roll and has a pressing blade on its surface, and in which the cutting roll is placed at a position following the pressing roll in contact with the coated polymer on the anvil roll and has a cutting blade on its surface configured to cut the deformed coated polymer; and   the collector comprises a pellet catcher.
