Pelletizing systems

  1. Strand pelletizing
  2. Underwater pelletizing

Palletizing systems for the production of polymers

Pelletization plays an important role in the production and processing of polymers. The right pelleting system for the application is crucial. That is why MAAG offers pelletizing systems and pelletizing solutions designed for a wide range of different processing methods, such as the production of blends, the production of premixes, the production of virgin polymers and the processing of recycled materials. Pellet solutions offer safe, efficient and profitable processing of standard plastics, biopolymers, hot melt adhesives and rubber bases. MAAG also offers methods for processing recycled plastics and systems for the production of plastic pellets. All MAAG pelleting systems from Gala, Reduction Engineering Scheer and Automatik provide maximum flexibility as required by today's polymer industry. The design concepts of MAAG pellet machines meet the requirements for polymers of various pellet sizes and pellet shapes. In addition to underwater pelleting and strand cutting systems, MAAG also offers a drip process for dust-free pellets.

Belt-Cooling Pelletizing System PFS Series 30

The Belt-Cooling Pelletizing System PFS is specially designed for water soluble and brittle formulations. The variable system configuration enables perfect adaptation to the product being processed and guarantees continuous manufacturing. Even elastic and very flexible polymers can be handled by the belt system in a simple and efficient way. The system produces top-quality cylindrical pellets or micro-pellets which are ideal for further downstream processing.

Strand Cooling Belt PFS

Unlike conventional extrusion in a water bath, the Strand Cooling Belt PFS does not require manual threading of  strands. Strands are deposited directly on the conveyor belt and automatically conveyed to the strand pelletizer. The cooling is done by special air nozzles with high cooling capacity.

PRIMO PFS

The widely tried and proven dry-cut strand pelletizer produces top quality cylindrical or micro-pellets, which are ideal for further downstream processing. Its compact design makes the strand pelletizer very suitable for lab applications. The variable system configuration enables a perfect adaptation to the product being processed with high flexibility when changing products
