    摘要: An underwater granulation system has a water box, a perforated plate with multiple through-openings for feeding a polymer melt into the water box, and a cutting plate support which is arranged in the water box so as to be driven in rotation about an axis of rotation (X) in a cutting direction. The cutting plate support has multiple cutting plates which face the perforated plate and are adapted to form granules by shearing particles from the polymer melt entering through the perforated plate. The water box is connected to a water supply for heat evacuation and for evacuating the separated particles from the water box. The water box also has a hollow cylindrical portion relative to the axis of rotation (X), in which multiple water inlets distributed over the circumference and multiple water outlets distributed over the circumference are arranged.
