Extrusion International 5-2018

35 Extrusion International 5/2018 At Fakuma, Maag will also be presenting a PRIMO 200 E model pelletizer from its WSG dry-cut strand pelletizing systems range for the reliable production of high-quality cylindrical pellets or micro-pellets ideally suited to further processing. Like all the models in the PRIMO E family, it features a variable system configuration for the process- ing of soft, brittle or abrasive polymers. Quick tool and roller exchange enables flexible adaptation to specific production demands, delivering optimum flexibility for product changes. The pellets created by this system can be infinitely adjusted in terms of weight and length to the specific task at hand. With a 200 mm draw-in width, it is designed for draw-in speeds up to 120 m/min and a maxi- mum throughput rate of 1500 kg/h. The PEARLO ® 160 being presented at Fakuma 2018 forms part of a new family of Maag high-performance under- water pelletizing systems. This product line was devel- oped for the production of spherical plastic pellets. It combines technologies from Gala and Automatik for highly efficient and flexible deployment in high-end ap- plications at throughput rates starting in the single-digit range and extending up to 36,000 kg/h (the 160 model being presented in Friedrichshafen achieves 1,000 kg/h to 6,000 kg/h). Compact and modular in design, they require only a very small footprint in production. The electroni- Maag Pump System www.maag.com Hall A6, Booth 6202 cally controlled EAC technology ensures precise position- ing of the pelletizing knives during operation, and hence long runtimes free of interruptions with consistently high pellet quality. Typical applications also include the pro- duction of wood- and natural fiber-filled compounds, thermoplastic elastomers, rubbers, and hot adhesives. The ECO 200 high-performance melt filter from Ettlinger being presented at Fakuma 2018 is – like the larger ECO 250 version – designed for very free-flowing materials such as PET and PA with pollution severities up to 1.5 %, but is also suitable for polyolefins and polystyrenes. Typi- cal applications are compounding and filtration of gels and agglomerates, in particular of aluminum, paper, sili- cone or PVC constituents from recycled PET bottles. The now available extra-high filtration grade of 60 μm is ideal for bottle-to-bottle recycling, with its extremely high quality demands. Thanks to their efficiency, the ECO melt filters can be integrated directly into PET thermoforming lines, where their throughput rates of up to 1000 kg/h (type 200) and 3000 kg/h (type 250) help to improve ma- chine availability and enhance cost-effectiveness. We care about your performance. CAREFORMANCE HIGH THROUGHPUT. DIAMEETS QUALITY. WE DRIVE THE C RCULAR ECONOMY. Whether it is inhouse, post- consumer or bottle recycling: you can only close loops in a precise and profitable way if machines are perfectly tuned for the respective application. Count on the number 1 technology from EREMA when doing so: over 5000 of our machines and systems produce around 14 million tonnes of high-quality pellets like this every year – in a highly efficient and energy-saving way.
