PREVIEW 46 Extrusion International 5/2021 Maag Group www.maag.com Maag Group A6-6202 MAAG Group PEARLO® Underwater Pelletizer Strand pelletizer PRIMO FC 200 Ettlinger’s new ECO 500 high performance melt fi lter 500, capable of achieving capacities of up to 4,000 kg/h, replaces the former ECO 250 Twin. The ECO 200 com- pletes this range. • Innovative high-performance pelletizing machines not only for the polymer industry including direct crystalliza- tion. Ef fi cient systems for the production of biopolymers. Technology-based, optimized pellet shape up to micro pellets. Recycling systems with added value. Tools with signi fi cantly longer service life until knife change and/ or die plate grinding. • Innovation in strand pelletizing: From lab size to Compounding/Masterbatch and large scale polymer- ization. • All MAAG Group extrex ® gear pump in x6 class design are completely re-engineered and have redesigned com- ponents, from the shafts through to the bearings and seals, and optimized the interaction of the components. Specially developed gear teeth with low compression al- low very high pressures to be achieved with low shear rates. The result is a further increase in achievable prod- uct quality, volumetric ef fi ciency, as well as production consistency and safety. Pump & Filtration Systems, Pelletizing & Pulverizing Systems, Recycling Systems and Digital Solutions • MAAG ETTLINGER has unveiled a new generation of tried-and-tested ECO high performance melt fi lters for use in PET recycling. Their new features take into account the need for systems with a higher product throughput and are initially available in sizes suitable for medium- sized recycling lines. The new performance enhanced ECO 350 replaces the former ECO 250, while the new ECO
