An extrusion die plate for a plastic pelletizing machine having a removable central insert having the plurality of extrusion orifices incorporated therein with the main body of the die plate including an opening receiving the insert with the insert being capable of quick and easy removable for cleaning of plastic material and for replacement of the insert with other inserts having a different number of extrusion orifices or a different size of extrusion orifices. The insert is screw threadedly connected or otherwise quickly detachably connected in an opening in the main body of the die plate to reduce the down time for maintenance and for product changes.

An extrusion die plate for a plastic pelletizing machine comprising a die plate having peripherally located means for receiving heating cartridges for heating the die plate and adapted to be mounted on a housing, said die plate including a large central opening terminating inwardly of the cartridge

An extrusion die plate for a plastic pelletizing machine comprising a die plate having peripherally located means for receiving heating cartridges for heating the die plate and adapted to be mounted on a housing, said die plate including a large central opening terminating inwardly of the cartridge receiving means and extending from the upstream side to the downstream side, a die plate insert in said opening with the insert including orifice means therein extending from the upstream side of the insert to the downstream side thereof, said insert having a thickness substantially the same as the die plate with the downstream side of the insert having a wear surface projecting beyond the downstream side of the die plate with the orifice means extending through the wear surface, said wear surface adapted to be engaged by the blades on a rotatable knife assembly to form pellets from plastic material extruded through the orifice means, and means removably securing the insert in the opening to enable quick removal for cleaning and quick replacement for insertion of an insert having a different number of or size of orifice means therein, said securing means including means to position the insert axially at a predetermined relation to the die plate in order to reposition the wear surface in exactly the same position when inserts of the same length are changed to maintain a constant relation between the wear surface and the blades on the knife assembly.
