Melt filtration systems and pelletizing equipment are Maag's top bet in China

At booth M01, hall 5.1at this year’s Chinaplas in Guangzhou, China, Maag will present its extrex® 90 extrusion pump from its Maag Pump Systems feeding melt to the SPHERO® S. The proven gear and bearing technology of the extrex® series combines high efficiency with minimized energy consumption. Optimized flow channels, very good self-cleaning properties and a long service life are the hallmarks of the pump. Also part of the system is the CSC 116-RS screen changer with arched screen cavities. 

 

The newly-designed underwater pelletizing system SPHERO® S incorporates a variety of feature upgrades, making it ideally suited for Masterbatch and Recycling applications with medium throughputs, typically between 700 and 3000 kg/h. Improvements include a new frame that allows the SPHERO® S to be mounted on a single mobile structure guarantees a perfect alignment, and a reduced footprint. Special attention has been given to the design of the cutter head to facilitate start-up and to ensure less agglomeration and production of evenly shaped pellets.

 

The well-proven BAOLI line of dry-cut strand pelletizers is tailor-made for the Chinese market. The machines are manufactured in Maag-Automatiks’ local facility using its renowned German technology and the expertise that comes with being the world’s leading supplier of pelletizing machinery. The BAOLI series is available in three basic machine sizes with operating widths of 100 mm, 200 mm and 300 mm. The uncompromising quality standard of the BAOLI pelletizers combines excellent value with very low operating costs.

 

The BAOMO series, also manufactured at Maag's facility in China with key components coming from Germany, provides simple access for cleaning and maintenance through the use of cantilevered bearings. The strand pelletizer is ideally engineered for small batch operations, as is commonly required for Masterbatch or laboratory applications. 

 

Another highlight at the Maag booth is a highly efficient gear pump and filtration system which is an ideal solution for extrusion, compounding and recycling applications. The melt pump from the proven extrex® series gently generates the required pressure for downstream processing with maximum energy efficiency, while at the same time enormously reducing the burden on the upstream extruder by smoothing or completely eliminating pulsations and pressure surges. This not only extends the operating life of the extruder and increases productivity but also, thanks to the reduced melt temperature, improves product quality. The in general flow channel optimizedflat slidescreen changer, in addition, ensures that the end product is free of impurities and degenerated plastic particles, thus likewise providing superb product quality while also protecting downstream processing equipment.
