Extrusion International 1-2023

30 Extrusion International 1/2023 CHINAPLAS 2023 With Pump & Filtration Systems, Pelletizing & Pulverizing Systems, Recycling Systems and Digital Solutions at CHINAPLAS M ore and more new developments in plas- tics are being made in China, one of the strongest growth markets in the world. MAAG Group takes this into account and will be pres- ent at Chinaplas in Shenzhen, China, fromApril 17-20, 2023 in the German Pavilion in hall 10, booth No. F11. The MAAG experts on site will be happy to inform the visitors about their product portfo- lio for the polymer industry: • The MAAG Group extrex ® gear pumps GA are designed for common thermoplastic extru- sion applications and offer a high overall ef- ficiency and hence minimum abrasion due to leading gear and bearing technology. They convince with low pulsation pump action also in cases of high differential pressure and a simple and compact design. With over 15’000 MAAG gear pumps installed in China, you know that you have competence on your side. The newly developed extrex ® recycling pump ensures reliable extrusion in the recycling process. The extrex ® features an optimized geometry that, in many cases, eliminates the need for an upstream protective filter, saving space and reducing the energy required for heat- ing and drive power. Like all MAAG pumps, extrex ® is de- signed tomeet the high demands of everyday operation. • MAAG ETTLINGER ERF 350 is a high-performance melt filter for the filtration of heavily contaminated poly - mer feedstock. The filter is self-cleaning with a rotating, perforated drum, through which there is a continuous flow of melt from the outside to the inside. A scraper removes the contaminants that are held back on the surface and feeds them to the discharge system. This en - ables the filter to be used fully automati - cally and without any disruptions over long periods without having to replace the screen. The advantages: Reliable melt filtration, ultra-low melt losses and good mixing and homogenizing of the melts. • The BAOLI-3 strand pelletizer is outfitted with German-made core components and has been designed for use with both hard and soft pelletizing materials. The most noteworthy highlights are its compact design that features height-adjustment, left-side/right-side control capabilities that provide greater operational flexibility, and reduced noise generation during operation. At the same time it offers easy access for cleaningmaking it easy for maintenance, material changes, and color changes. The BAOLI- 3 pelletizer is based on MAAG’s more than six decades of experience and an installed base of nearly 1’000 BAOLI pelletizers in China to develop a newand en- hanced version which provides high reliability, improved handling, and an optimized cost/benefit ratio. • The ZHULI ® system is a highly flexible, cost-efficient underwater pelletizing systemdesigned for use with standard products, such as filled Polyole - fins, Polyesters and Thermoplastic Elastomers. ZHULI ® ’s cutting tools deliver spherical pellets of the high- est quality that are ideally suited for further processing, with through- put rates of up to 1,200 kg/h. The pelletizing system has a small foot- print and is simple to operate.
