About ECON Inc.
PELLETIZING IS IN OUR DNA
For more than ten years, ECON has been THE specialist for underwater pelletizing systems.
The continuous development of our technology has made us the innovation leaders in underwater pelletizing, especially with our patented thermal insulation technology. Just as important as continuing to develop innovations is our focus on finding the right solution to optimize the production processes of every individual customer. We are ECON – the innovation leader with unique ideas, easy-to-operate machinery and a distinctive sense of responsibility for our environment. This mission is reflected in our successful invention, development, manufacturing and worldwide marketing of innovative solutions for screen changers and underwater pelletizing systems. For us, “Pelletizing is in our DNA” and our passion for technology is only surpassed by our passion for your success and enabling you to achieve the impossible.
The ECON underwater pelletizing systems differ from the competition by providing efficient insulation of the die plate. This patented thermal insulation concept prevents the freezing of the die holes. In addition, ECON‘s technology eliminates the need for bypass piping, not only making pelletizing more efficient, but also providing significant energy savings. We attach great importance to the continuous improvement of all our products and consider this an important part of innovation management. Our on-site technical center provides the ideal testing environment to develop and test new products.
ECON‘s innovative technology enables the pelletizing of plastics that could not be processed with conventional methods. The patented ECON die plate in combination with the underwater pelletizer makes it possible to process plastics at high temperatures or with high filler content. The machines can even pelletize materials with highest melt flow rates (e.g. PP up to MFR 2400). Excellent results are also achieved when processing viscous materials (such as elastomers, natural resins, silicones or hot melt adhesives). In addition to handle difficult materials such as liquid crystal polymer (LCP), we are able to produce micro pellets < 1 mm. We invite you to come to our technical center and work with one of our process engineers to test and adjust any compound you need pelletized. Put us to the test – we accept the challenge!
