Range of Products for Pelletizing, Recycling

Maag is displaying a range of new products for compounding, pelletizing and filtration. Its new PEARLO X Series pelletizer provides throughputs of up to 40 tons/hr. A high level of automation enables startup and shutdown at the push of a button, while wear-optimized cutting tools maximize production times while minimizing downtime and waste.

Also displayed are a variety of solutions for all filtration. For extrusion applications, the FSC (flat screen changer), offers ultracompact design and optimized residence time. With the DFS-BF, Maag’s Duplex large-area filtration systems are now backflush capable. This capability is due to the Divex^pro valve. 

The new ContiNeo backflush screen changer combines the advantages of a single-bolt screen changer with those of a continuous dual-piston screen changer with backflush functionality. It is reportedly well suited for extrusion processes requiring low pressure fluctuations and fully automatic operation in a small space.

At the heart of the mechanical recycling portfolio is the high-performance melt filter from Ettlinger. The continuous-running machines are specially designed for highly contaminated postconsumer recycling applications. The ERF and ECO series can deliver throughputs of up to 10 tons/hr, depending on the application. On display is an ERF 1000 (photo), the largest Ettlinger continuous filter available.

A JSG pelletizing system  is suitable for compounding applications up to 9 tons/hr. Flexible cooling lengths enable processing of a wide range of materials, and broken strands are automatically rethreaded into the pelletizer.

Developed with CFD analysis, the new Vectored Air Technology mill housing enables throughput increase of up to 25% on the REX Duo Plus pulverizer. This new pulverizer technology also improves powder quality and flow for rotomolding application.
