System Improves Pellet Cooling
Billed as especially suited for high melt index or peroxided polymers.
At October’s K 2022 show in Dusseldorf, Maag will display a complete AMN Central Injection System (CIS) consisting of a 1500-mm dia die plate with a central water injection and sword-shaped knives
The CIS was designed to improve pellet cooling and ejection and is said to be especially suited for high melt index or peroxided polymers. The technology was developed by AMN DPI, a French company Maag acquired in May 2022.

Die plates are the heart of the underwater pelletizing system; necessary to produce high quality and consistent pellets. Maag says the unique technologies of AMN die plates have demonstrated their performance and longevity in many applications, especially for high-capacity underwater pelletizers.
