Product Overview
The Used Gala Underwater Pelletizer, Model 6D MUP, is a complete underwater pelletizing system designed for continuous pellet production in plastics, polymer compounding, and extrusion applications. Engineered to produce consistent, high-quality pellets, this integrated system combines a precision cutter head, water tempering system, centrifugal spin dryer, and operator controls into a complete pelletizing package.
The system features a Gala 6D MUP cutter head driven by a 5 HP motor, providing reliable pellet cutting directly at the die face under water. Pellet cooling and transport are supported by an 80 GPM water tempering system, while the included Gala Model 8.2 Spin Dryer efficiently separates pellets from the process water for downstream conveying and packaging.
With Serial Number 890502, this used underwater pelletizing system is well suited for polymer processors, compounders, recycling facilities, and research operations seeking dependable pellet production equipment.
Note: This listing includes the Gala 6D MUP cutter head, operator control panel with cutter head drive, Model 8.2 spin dryer, and 80 GPM water tempering system as described. Extruder, die plate, pumps, piping, and downstream conveying equipment are included only if specifically stated.

Frequently Asked Questions
What major components are included?
The system includes the Gala 6D MUP cutter head, 5 HP cutter head drive, operator control panel, Gala Model 8.2 spin dryer, and an 80 GPM water tempering system.
What is the purpose of an underwater pelletizer?
An underwater pelletizer cuts molten polymer directly at the die face while submerged in circulating water, producing consistent pellets that are simultaneously cooled and conveyed for drying.
What size motor drives the cutter head?
The cutter head is powered by a 5 HP motor.
What is the capacity of the water tempering system?
The included water tempering system is rated for 80 gallons per minute (GPM).
What is the function of the spin dryer?
The Gala Model 8.2 spin dryer removes water from the pellets after the underwater cutting process, preparing them for downstream handling or packaging.
Can Aaron Equipment assist with shipping and logistics?
Yes. Aaron Equipment can coordinate dismantling, professional crating, freight, export documentation, and worldwide shipping logistics for pelletizing systems, extrusion equipment, and complete polymer processing lines.
