new pneumatic diverter valves reduce maintenance and cleaning. Automatik says that the optimized design improves melt performance, reducing degradation, cracking and loss of viscosity. A new die plate holder design is said to guarantee easier and quicker cleaning and replacement of die plates. Other improvements include a new frame that allows


the Sphero S to be mounted on a single mobile struc- ture, which pelletizer product manager Andreas Voemel says guarantees a perfect alignment, and a reduced


footprint. The water bypass design has also been fine-tuned to accelerate start-up. Special attention has also been given to the design of the cutter head, again to facilitate start-up, and to ensure less agglomeration and the production of evenly shaped pellets. There are currently two models of the Sphero S. The


Sphero S 100 has a 100-mm die plate, while the die plate on the Sphero S 140 is 140 mm in diameter. Econ of Austria has a new unit capable of air and underwater pelletizing, the EWA (Econ Water & Air)
