Extrusion International 5-2023-USA

44 Extrusion International 5/2023 FAKUMA 2023 Innovative Solutions that Enhance the Circular Economy at Fakuma 2023 MAAG Group is a broadly diversified global solu - tions provider of Pump & Filtration Systems, Pelletizing & Pulverizing Systems, Recycling Systems and digital solutions. MAAG Group will be represented at the Fakuma with an exhibition stand. There you can find out more about the AMN die plates for highest quality require- ments for throughputs up to 100 t/h. Specifically de - signed to produce high MI or complex polymers, the CIS system increases the water flow locally to facilitate cutting, improve pellet quality and reduce cavitation phenomena. Easily plugged on existing installations, the additional water flow is then efficiently distributed thanks to the knife holder equipped with a cone and saber knives, facilitating pellet cooling and ejection. MAAG ETTLINGERs ECO 500 is a high performance melt filter for the filtration of heavily contaminated polymer feedstock. For chemical recycling, this tech - nology is outstanding for filtering low viscosity poly - mers. The filter is self-cleaning with a rotating, per - forated drum, through which there is a continuous flow of melt from the outside to the inside. A scraper removes the contaminants that are held back on the surface and feeds them to the discharge system. This enables the filter to be used fully automatically and without any disruptions over long periods without having to replace the screen. The underwater pelletizing system PEARLO ® 350 EAC is especially designed for high throughputs of like 18.000 kg/h of Virgin Polymer production. The unique cutting blade design and optimum water and material flow conditions within the cutting chamber provide not only ideal and homogeneous cooling ef- fects but also outstanding pellet qual- ity. Another innovative design feature of the PEARLO is the cutting blade advance system, which permits axial movement of the cutter shaft resulting in a pre- cise blade advance as well as a regrinding of the blades during production. This allows higher equipment avail- ability, elongated production runs and thus saves costs. MAAGs strand pelletizing system EBG is designed for highly filled, hydroscopic and water-sensitive com - pounds. EBG scores with a high degree of automation, gentle material processing and excellent product qual- ity. From the die head to the granulator, the pelletizing system forms a unit that, despite its compact design, has features of a large compounding system. MAAG Group extrex ® gear pumps offer an optimized interaction of the components. Specially developed gear teeth with low compression allow very high pres- sures to be achieved with low shear rates. The result is a further increase in achievable product quality, volu - metric efficiency, as well as production consistency and safety.
