Soredi Spa has grown into a leading thermoplastic-compound manufacturer with the help of Sphero 100 Underwater Pelletising Systems and Duro 2000 Belt Dryers from Automatik. The company is a manufacturer of thermoplastic compounds such as polypropylene Niplene. For this compound to provide the optimum stiffness or hardness levels to the thermoplastic, the granules or pellets need to be the perfect size and shape. An underwater pelletising system the Sphero 100 model brought substantial improvements to the type of granule produced and reduced the amount of waste produced, writes Jurgen Skanda.
