SPHERO Underwater Pelletizing System

SPHERO® is an underwater pelletizing system designed for all kinds of thermoplastic materials, characterized by high flexibility and a small footprint. The system produces spherical pellets of superb quality, ideally suited for further processing, with throughputs up to 18,000 kg/h.

Application

The SPHERO® system is applicable for compounding, recycling and raw material manufacturing, depending on size and technical features. With a capacity range of a few 100 kg/h to several t/h this system is basically applicable for all materials with thermoplastic behaviour, such as

  • Polyolefins, e.g. LDPE, HDPE, PP,

  • Styrene polymers, e.g. PS, SAN, ABS

  • Acrylic resins, e.g. PMMA, PAN

  • Polyacetals, e.g. POM

  • Polycarbonates, e.g. PC

  • Polyesters, e.g. PET, PBT, PEN

  • Polyamides, e.g. PA 6, PA 6.6, PA 11

  • Thermoplastic elastomers, e.g. TPE-S, TPE-O, TPE-E

  • Polyurethane, e.g. TPU

  • Hot melt adhesives
