With a production flowrate of up to 600 kg/h, the Sphero 50 underwater pelletizing system can be applied in testing plants and smaller production plants with pelletizing options for virgin polymers, masterbatches, compounds, recycling, organic and wood-based polymers, and more. The entire system is mounted on a mobile frame with lockable wheels, and can be easily moved and adapted to different extruders. All components, such as startup valves, die plates, water basins and drives are suspended from a T-bar, can be shifted horizontally and are easily accessible. Special attention was given to the new design of the cutter head in order to ensure the production of evenly shaped, high-quality pellets, says the manufacturer. — Maag, Oberglatt, Switzerland
