Maag Group is a broadly diversified global solutions provider of Pump & Filtration Systems, Pelletizing & Pulverizing Systems, Recycling Systems and digital solutions.
At Fakuma 2024 in Friedrichshafen, Germany (October 15 - 19), Maag Group is presented as a technology provider with intelligent solutions for important future-oriented applications in plastics processing in hall A6, booth 6202.
The focus is on the continuous high-performance melt filter of the Eco series, which is used to filter highly contaminated polymer melts due to its special design. For chemical recycling, this technology is outstanding for filtering low viscosity polymers. The Eco filter is self-cleaning with a rotating, perforated drum, through which there is a continuous flow of melt from the outside to the inside. A scraper removes the contaminants that remain on the surface and feeds them to the discharge system. This enables the filter to be used fully automatically and without disruptions over long periods caused by having to replace the screen. The advantages: Reliable melt filtration, ultra-low melt losses constant pressure curve, fast spreading of the contamination and short residence time of the melt in the filter.
Ueli Thürig, President of the Maag Group: "Sustainable technologies for recycling and the circular economy are becoming increasingly important. Whether solutions for mechanical or chemical recycling or machines optimized for energy and resource efficiency for the production, processing or treatment of plastics - Maag Group offers appropriate solutions for the plastics industry."
Maag will display the Pearlo nderwater pelletizer, which has been designed for processing a wide range of polymers and thermoplastics. This highly efficient and flexible system produces first-class spherical granulate and has been applied in the production of raw materials, compounds, masterbatches, engineering plastics, organic and wood polymer composites, thermoplastics elastomers, hot-melt adhesives, rubber, and more. We help our customers to achieve the maximum level of profitability with the know-how of an installed base of more than 7,000 underwater pelletizers.
With customized die plates and specific knife holders and knives, AMN enhances the Maag Group portfolio with high performance tools for all applications and throughputs up to 100 t/h. Specifically designed for high melt index or complex polymers, the CIS system directs the water flow locally to facilitate cutting, improved pellet quality and reduced cavitation. Easily adapted to existing installations, the additional water flow is then distributed via the knife holder equipped with cone and saber knives, facilitating pellet cooling and ejection.
Maag’s strand pelletizing system, EBG, is designed for highly filled, hydroscopic and water-sensitive compounds. EBG scores with a high degree of automation, gentle material processing and excellent product quality. From the die head to the granulator, the pelletizing system forms a unit that, despite its compact design, has the features of a large compounding system.
Maag Group’s extrex gear pumps offer an optimized interaction of components. Specially designed gear teeth with low compression enable very high pressures to be achieved with low shear rates. The result is a further advancement of product quality, volumetric efficiency, as well as production consistency and safety.
