Extrusion International 4-2022

41 Extrusion International 4/2022 3Dmachine documentation and new interactive online train- ing courses on all aspects of machine operation. Medical & Pharma: Production of Bioprocess Bags Simultaneously, Kiefel is presenting innovations for the medical and pharmaceutical industry. At the K trade fair, the company is exhibiting its expanded portfolio of bioprocess bags with the requisite machine technology. The 3D and 2D bags can be made from PVC-free materials such as PE or PP, or from PVC or EVA, depending on the customer's require- ments. Depending on the customer's requirements, a wide range of options can be implemented, e.g. semi-automatic or fully automatic machines, disposable bags for the storage of stem cells, cell cultures, mixing or separation, in 2D or 3D designs or hose/port connection components. KIEFEL GmbH www.kiefel.com K 2022: Hall 3, Stand E 90 The functions of the digital Kiefel portal are constantly being developed and enhanced. In future, customers will also be able to complete online training and keep an eye on the status of their machines around the clock Recently Kiefel launched machine solutions for the production of 2D or 3D bioprocess bags In May 2022, MAAG Group acquired the French tool manufacturer AMN DPI (AMN), thus continuing its growth as an integrated supplier of systems for the plastics industry. For the first time, a complete AMN Central Injection System (CIS) consist - ing of a 1500 mm diameter die plate with a central water injection and sword shaped knives will be displayed at the K-Show. CIS was designed to im- prove pellet cooling and ejection and is an effective solution for high melt in- dex or peroxided polymers. MAAG Group systems play a key role in the plastics circular economy. Along with keeping post-industrial and post- consumer waste in the value chain, we provide technologies that target the efficient use of resources; an ad - ditional factor in sustainability. In this context, the products of the glob- ally positioned AMN complement the MAAG Group portfolio and provide additional value to cus- tomers for all polyolefin applica - tions. Die plates are the heart of the underwater pelletizing system; necessary to produce high qual- ity and consistent pellets. Over many years, the unique technolo- gies of AMN die plates have demon- strated their performance and longev- ity in many applications, especially for high capacity underwater pelletizers.
