<p>The present invention relates to a pelletizer, preferably in the form of an underwater pelletizer. In particular, this invention relates to a cutter and/or grinding head for such pelletizer, comprising a tool carrier which can rotatorily be driven about a tool carrier axis of rotation, and at least one cutting and/or grinding tool, which is attached to the tool carrier and is spaced from the tool carrier axis of rotation, for knocking off plastic melt emerging from a pelletizer die plate and/or for grinding said pelletizer die plate. In accordance with the invention, the cutting and/or grinding tool is rotatably mounted on the tool carrier about an axis of rotation spaced from the tool carrier axis of rotation. This provides a second component of movement for the cutting and/or grinding tool. On the one hand, the cutting and/or grinding tool rotates together with the tool carrier about its tool carrier axis of rotation, and on the other hand, the cutting and/or grinding tool can rotate about its own axis of rotation relative to the tool carrier. The tool carrier has a pivot bearing for the cutting and/or grinding tool, by means of which the cutting and/or grinding tool can rotate about itself.</p> |
