A new standard in underwater pelletising from Maag is swimming K-wards.
For more than 100 years, Maag has been able to successfully supply the plastics industry with the custom solutions it demands by responding to the exacting needs of its customers in the pellet-processing market. At K 2016, the “new” Maag will unveil its most recent innovation, one that combines the capabilities of Maag and recently acquired companies Gala Industries and Reduction Engineering Scheer (RE Scheer).

Exhibiting in booth A04 (main booth), B65 (innovation booth) and E37 (pulveriser and strand pelletiser booth) in Hall 9, Maag will showcase a new underwater pelletising system that is a result of the synergies that have been created through the integration of the Gala underwater pelletising and RE Scheer strand pelletising and pulverising system product portfolios with those of Maag Automatik’s industry-leading pelletising systems.
The end result is an underwater pelletising system that successfully combines the knowhow of multiple industry leaders in a design that promises to set a new standard for the pellet-processing industry.
The system has been designed to be a one-stop solution for its users as all of the components, from the tip of the extruder screw to the finished plastic pellets, are produced by Maag companies. This includes the melt pumps, screen changers, diverter valves, die plates, cutting chambers, water bath, strand dies, cutter systems, interlocking systems, cutter hubs, system controls, cutting tools, support frame, and any other required equipment.
“We are very excited to be launching this new state-of-the-art underwater pelletising system at K 2016,” said Ueli Theurig, President of Maag. “Even more exciting for us is that we are confident that this will only be the first of what promises to be many innovative solutions that will be an offshoot of the combined pelletising expertise of Maag, Gala and RE Scheer.”
This will be possible because all of the Maag brands are focused on delivering exceptional value to their customers through a blend of product leadership and customer service, knowing that they possess exceptional custom engineering skills and expertise and concentrate on understanding unique customer system and process needs and requirements.
The customer-focused commitment of the Maag companies will drive the performance of this next-generation underwater pelletising system and deliver many benefits for the compounder. With this revolutionary machine, Maag will set a new standard in terms of flexibility, reliability and efficiency for underwater pelletising in the plastics industry, and raise the bar for future iterations.
