Automatik Plastics Machinery delivers PET strand pelletising systems to Brazil

Automatik Plastics Machinery GmbH in Grossostheim, Germany has scheduled for delivery eight state-of-the-art underwater strand pelletising systems to Lurgi GmbH, the renowned engineering company in Frankfurt, for onward shipment to its end customer in Brazil, PetroquimicaSuape. For Automatik, this project marks the culmination of several major orders for pelletising systems placed during 2009. The order consists of eight complete M-USG 900 H underwater strand pelletising systems in a horizontal line orientation, including fluid-heated die heads, the pelletisers and CENTRO 1600 centrifugal dryers to efficiently dry the cylindrical pellets. Each of these pelletising lines, ideally suited for the production of PET, can attain an operating throughput of 9,500 kg/h. A follow-on project with two more underwater pelletising systems of type M-USG 300 H is scheduled for delivery later in the first half of 2010. www.automatikgroup.comNike Shox Avenue 803
