For modern compounders, consistent pellet quality is essential. Yet daily fine-tuning of speed, temperature, and pellet length often requires experience—and time. With SMART – System for Monitoring, Analysis, Recipes & Training—pelletizing evolves from manual adjustment to data-driven process control. The result is greater transparency, improved repeatability, and significantly reduced variation.

SMART centralizes the control of the entire pelletizing process. Operators can manage the pelletizer, conveyor, water bath, and vacuum system from one intuitive interface. Intelligent algorithms continuously correct pellet length, lowering scrap levels and improving consistency. Especially during product changeovers or when operating near critical process boundaries, SMART brings stability—and efficiency.

How SMART pelletizing makes a difference for compounders

  • Full-line control in a single interface
    Live monitoring and control of pelletizer, conveyor, water bath, and vacuum from the main display
  • Automatic pellet-length adjustment via smart algorithms
    Less scrap, more consistency
  • Realtime monitoring of key process variables
    Rotor speed, feedroll speed, air flow, and water-bath temperature
  • Recipe management
    Store setpoints, limits, and process data and recall them instantly during product changeovers.
  • 3D maintenance & training tools
    Integrated 3D models, how-to videos, and documentation for diagnostics and operator training

Smarter production starts with insight

With SMART, pelletizing becomes predictable and scalable—without relying on trial and error or individual operator expertise. Compounders gain a system that safeguards quality, reduces changeover times, and increases overall line performance.
