The dicer evolved from the need to be able to pelletize material coming directly from a two-roll mill which is fed from a Banbury mixer. The dicer is able to do this without an extruder or a strainer. It receives an extruded web (small sheet from 60 mm to 450 mm) and cuts it into uniform cubic or octahedral pellets. Given the historic dominance of Banbury-type compounding technology in the wire covering industry, it is not surprising that the dicer is still the dominant pelletizer.
