<p>Provided is a molten resin cutting system for efficiently cutting a molten resin extruded through an extrusion orifice of an extruder. The molten resin cutting system is characterized in that: a molten resin (13) extruded from an extruder (10) is guided to a cutter (40) on a chute (2) while the guided resin is cooled, the cutter (40) comprising a cutter roller (41) and an assist roller (42); the molten resin (13) transported from the chute (20) to the cutter (40) is pulled and cut in the cutter (40) by the cutter roller (41); the molten resin (13) is then formed into resin chips (c) by the cutter (40); and the resin chips (c) are cooled and transported by a cooling and transporting means (50) located directly below and downstream from the vicinity of the cutter (40).</p>
