TENAX® PELLETIZED CHOPPED PRODUCTS

Tenax® pelletized chopped products are dust and "fly" free. The pellets are ideally suited for use with volumetric, single or twin-screw feeders, vibratory tray, and loss-in-weight equipment. These products will flow at consistent and reproducible feed rates over a wide range of flow. Pelletized products can be used in batch handling equipment, providing rapid, uniform, and zero "fly" distribution into pre-blends. Toho Tenax reserves the right to upgrade manufacturing processes and raw materials without notice, in compliance with our approach on pelletized fiber product improvement.
