COMPROMISE-FREE PELLETSSpherical or cylindrical pellets

Only if the quality of the granulate entire-ly corresponds to the application and thus to the requirements of the fi nal product, the quality of the subsequent product will be satisfactory. Treatment processes and systems have to be concerted and have to intertwine. Feeding, tempering, fi ltering, granulating, and drying pro-cesses have to be as gentle as possible.

Process quality alone is not suffi cient. It’s the effi ciency of the particular processes and of the machines applied that matters for the following applications:

Engineering plastics

Masterbatches

Highly fi lled compounds

Recyclates

Thermoplastics

Organic and timber-polymer materials

Rubber

Amongst others the following procedures are possible

The SPHERO® underwater pelletizing system is the solu-tion for a profi table production of round pellets. Irrespec-tive of the throughput rate you envisage, be it only 50 or up to 11,000 kg per hour, there is a SPHERO® underwater pelletizing system available to perfectly match your needs. With an unbeatable concept offering best access, opera-tor convenience and thus process reliability are dominant. Perfect pellet quality and extended process continuity are achieved thanks to the hydrodynamic design of the cut-ting chamber and of the cutter head. A process-specifi c

water treatment system allows a high level of water purity and an appropriate temperature of the process water. As the operator can conveniently operate the machine at the pelletizer, a precise and quick start-up process is the logi-cal consequence, also due to optimized process control. The optional OPTOdata control system offers not only clear visual and intuitively operable process monitoring but also excellent operating data logging features and con-venient composition management.

PELLETIZING SYSTEMSUnderwater strand pelletizing systems

The P-USG underwater strand pelletizing system offers an optimum concept for reduced throughput rates for cylindrical pellets (raw material pelletizing), special com-pounds, and also in particular for PA and PET recyclates when it comes to targeting at a high rate of machinery uptime at an excellent cost-benefi t ratio. Automatic feed-ing even with disrupted strands enhances process relia-bility. The perfectly adjusted feeding unit with the cutting tools inside the pelletizer provides excellent, dust-free pellets. Due to the high quality of the materials applied resulting in extended lifetimes of the feed rolls, cutter bars, and rotors, life-cycle costs are reduced.

Comfortable access to the conveyor system and in particu-lar to the cutter and to the cutting tools guarantee easy operation and cleaning. The feeding and cutting tools can be replaced in a few steps thus further reducing mainte-nance downtimes. The application of a quick-change die head optimizes a quick product change and in return enhances machine uptime. Like in a clockwork, each sys-tem component matters. Therefore, the im portance of the right strand pelletizing system and of the corresponding effi cient dryer cannot be rated high enough. The opti-mized interaction of all P-USG strand pelletizing system components leads to best pellet quality at a high process profi tability.

DRYERSCooling and drying during underwater strand pelletizing

DURO Belt dryer

CENTRO Centrifugal dryer

Dry pellets are an essential quality feature. There are vari-ous types of dryer available for economical pellet drying once the pellets have been cut underwater. The type of dryer to be applied is subject to the hygroscopic character-istics of the particular pellets. The centrifugal dryers of the CENTRO series can be applied in combination of both the SPHERO® and the USG underwater pelletizing systems.

The DURO belt dryer is particularly suitable for the drying process of abrasive or brittle pellets. As there is no relative movement between the components and the pellets, both the generation of dust and the occurrence of wear on parts in direct contact with each other are reduced consid-erably. So life-cycle costs are reduced to a minimum.

PELLETIZING SYSTEMSDry-cut strand pelletizing systems

JSG Dry-cut strand pelletizing system

The classical manual WSG strand pelletizing system with a water quench is well suited for the processing of almost any technical thermoplast and bulk plastics, in particular with abrasive fi llers and reinforcements, to produce cylin-drical pellets by means of a dry-cut method. Easy handling, high level of fl exibility, and reduced cleaning requirements in combination with low investment costs make these sys-tem the most common pelletizing systems in the fi elds of masterbatch production, compounding, and recycling of homogeneous base polymers such as PET or PA.

Self-threading JSG strand pelletizing systems, a logical further development of the manual pelletizing systems to

automatik pelletizing systems requiring reduced human-resource allocation for operation, are especially applied in the production of technical plastics or of highly reinforced compounds with varying fi llers and fi lling levels for high output rates of up to 9,000 kg/h. Automatic operation featuring guided self-threading in case of strand disrup-tions as well as quick product change along with good access for cleaning make these pelletizing systems most effi cient and economical offering a high level of availabil-ity and minimizing material losses. The minimum mainte-nance requirements due to highly wear-resistant cutting tools and strand guiding components reduce maintenance costs.

DRY-CUT COMPONENTSJust matching

The SG-C die heads evenly distribute the polymer melt without separating or de-mixing the additives or rein-forcing substances in the plastics. Short dead-leg-free fl ow paths, minimal pressure loss, easy to clean and simple handling – all this makes the SG die head an ideal down-stream “follow-up” device after the extruders or melt pumps. The water quench (modular KW cooling troughs) is applied to homogeneously cool the polymer strands during strand pelletizing in combination with the WSG systems. The perfect component for process water man-agement for compound and masterbatch production in dry-cut processes is the PWA water treatment system. The closed water circulation, separated through the heat exchanger, guarantees both a permanent high level of process water quality and suffi cient cooling capacity with separated cooling water supply.

For the producers of compounds and masterbatches, the SE air knife can be used for effi cient dewatering before the strands are cut into pellets. The system dehumidifi es the extracted air comparatively silent and minimizes the humidity of the pellets during the pelletizing process of fi lled and reinforced materials. Also wear of the cutting tools is signifi cantly reduced through this drying and tem-pering system. The SRK classifi ers master coarse screening for compounding systems. The classifi ers are easy to clean and separate pikes, husks, or chains as well as multiple grains from the pellets. Classifi ers equipped with several screening levels also separate fi nes from pellets made with any production method.

FILTRATION SYSTEMSFiltration in line with process demands

The Maag fi lter range includes low-cost fl at slide screen changers for safety fi ltration, continuous double-piston fi lters for highest product quality, fully automatic back-fl ush fi lters for recycling and start-up valves for pelletizing.

All screen changers are available in special variants to han-dle highest melt pressures and temperatures, and also with special alloys and coatings for processing of corrosive polymers.

Rheologically optimized fl ow channel geometries, screen plates and fi lter cavities in conjunction with tailored con-necting fl anges assure the necessary shear rate, short ma-terial dwell times and fast material or color changing.

Twelve different fi lter variants offer the right solutions to meet the high demands of the extrusion and compound-ing industry, and are available in all required sizes:

The double-piston technology of the CSC series assures the highest quality of the fi nal product. In CSC-DV execu-tion, this fi lter features an integrated start-up valve to purge out the start-up melt. The CSC-PE variant provides the double screen surface with its oval fi lter cavities. With the same fi lter size, the CSC-R with patented curved screen cavities has four times the screen area of round fi l-ter cavities.

The continuous backfl ush fi lter CSC/BF-4F is the proven solution for pelletizing of high contaminated recycling ma-terial. The CSC/BFX-DV is tailor-made for direct recycling from the recyclate to the fi nal product with no additional pelletizing step, such as turning PET bottle fl akes into ther-moforming fi lm.

Hydraulic and electric drives are available for the fl at slide screen changer FSC. In conjunction with an accumulator hydraulic, the cavities can be changed without stopping the extruder. The C-SSC screen changer includes two fl at slide fi lter cavities and is a low-cost, continuous working model for polyolefi ns.

The robust single-piston screen changer DSC works dis-continuously, and is designed for extreme operating con-ditions. The functionally identical SSC is the low-cost al-ternative for standard applications. The special design of the C-SSC enables continuous extrusion even with just one piston, and is the preferred solution for tight installa-tion requirements.

The discontinuous HSC is operated manually, and is the low-cost solution for safety fi ltration. Extremely compact dimensions and variable bolt pattern often enable direct installation between the extruder cylinder pipe and the die with no additional adapters.

The DV start-up valves are used as standard in SPHEROR® underwater pelletizers, and are also used wherever melt fl ows have to be diverted, purged out or interrupted.

SPECIAL PROCEDURESFor specialized applications

Production of micro pelletsThe underwater pelletizing systems of the SPHERO® series or the WSG dry-cut pelletizing systems are two methods applicable for the production of pellet sizes < 0.5 mm. maag will consult you in a system- neutral way concern-ing the most appropriate production method for dust-free, evenly shaped spherical or cy-lindrical micro pellets. The high bulk density makes precise dosing of the micro pellets easy.

PET direct crystallization during the recycling processThe PET direct crystallization CC-PET® combines pelletizing, drying, and crystallization in one step. So the crystalline PET pellets can be used for extrusion without any pre-drying. The almost dust-free granular mate-rial can be reliably further processed thanks to its high bulk density. As pelletizing and crystallization are one process step, a lot of energy is saved. CC-PET® is applied in raw material production processes and also in recycling applications with production volumes of between 150 and 3,000 kg/h. The plant components are taken from maag “con-struction kit”: melt pumps, polymer fi lters, start-up valves, pelletizing systems, pellet dryers, crystallizers, and process water treatment sys-tems as well as system controls; anything from simple machine con-trol to complex process visualization comes from one source. Perfectly matching components for individual applications utilized for economi-cal, resource-effi cient production.

Maag has business roots extending back more than 100 years. The foundations for today’s Maag Pump Systems AG were laid by Max Maag in the year 1910, beginning with gear manufacture. The business grew, and in 1928 the company’s factory in Zurich shipped its fi rst gear pump. In the decades to follow, Maag engineers developed ever more sophisticated and capable gear pumps. Today, these pro-cess pumps are in operation around the world, serving customers in the plastics, chemical, petrochemical and food pro-cessing industries. At the start of the new millennium, Maag Pump Systems expand-ed its product range to include high-per-formance screen changers and large-area fi ltration units so that, since this time, it has been able to offer complete systems.

After more than six decades serving the plastics industry, it is hard to even imagine this market without pelletizing systems from Automatik Plastics Machinery. Originally founded in 1947 as Automatik Apparate- und Maschinenbau GmbH, the compa-ny began developing strand pelletizing systems from its earli-est days, bringing the fi rst automated strand pelletizer to the market in the 1960s. The 1970s saw a further burst of innova-tion, particularly the company’s launch of the fi rst underwater strand pelletizer in the middle of that decade. In the late 1990s, Automatik went on to bring its unique drop pelletizing system for low-viscosity products to the market, fi lling yet another in-dustry need. The company completed its product portfolio in 2003 with the introduction of its SPHERO® underwater pelletiz-ing technology. Since this time, Automatik has offered solu-tions covering a comprehensive range of pellet shapes, operat-ing throughputs and production requirements.

The paths of these two extraordinary companies have crossed many times over the years, as both have long been providers of complementary, superior quality systems and components to the plastics processing industry. With their merger in 2010, Maag Pump Systems and Automatik Plastics Machinery were brought together under the umbrella of Maag, offering com-plete and highly effi cient pro duction solutions from a single source. Maag has been a part of Dover Corporation, a U.S. in-dustrial conglomerate, since 2012.
