Method for correcting for thrust force generated when a cutter for granulating plastics is rotated in water

摘要

A plastics granulating process wherein a cutter holder having cutter knives is driven to rotate along a die surface of a die and a housing is provided with a cutter drive shaft for driving the cutter holder to rotate in a manner so that plastics particles are obtained by cutting resin extruded from the die. A sleeve is axially movably provided in the housing so as to coaxially rotatably hold the cutter drive shaft, and a pressure medium is supplied into space chambers formed between the sleeve and the housing so that the cutter drive shaft moves axially with axial movement of the sleeve and the cutter knives presses against the die surface with a controlled thrust force.
