Innovation offensive in strand pelletizing

At K 2019, the MAAG Group is presenting three new strand pelletizers. With the PRIMO 100E MAAG Group AUTOMATIK completes its product portfolio in the field of single-sided strand pelletizers for the compounding market and now also offers the possibility of efficiently processing highly filled products in lower throughput ranges. There is further growth in the Primo family - the PRIMO PLUS Flex  is the link between proven PRIMO Plus  technology and the cutting rotors of the Scheer product group.  

 

Simple and fast cleaning, product areas with low deposits and short changeover times of the cutting and feeding tools characterize the E-machines of the PRIMO series. MAAG Group introduces the little brother of the PRIMO 200E, thus completing its product portfolio with a robust, one-sided dry-cut strand pelletizer for lower throughput ranges. The PRIMO 100E is particularly suitable for compounding thermoplastics, functional or additive masterbatch production and the production of color concentrates up to a line throughput of 1,000 kg per hour. Like the Primo 200E, the 100E scores points with its unique cutting geometry with a flat entry angle and the shortest unguided length between the feed rollers and cutting unit. This geometry allows a straight-line guidance to the cutting tools and thus guarantees high cut quality for hard as well as very soft or brittle plastic strands. 

 

In addition to the high-quality carbide cutting tools a separately driven, highly wear-resistant metal feed roller will also be available on the Primo 100E instead of the usual elastomer feed roller. The granule length can be easily changed during operation by means of a second optional drive – so called dual drive. 

 

As a versatile all-rounder or as a specialist for very hard, abrasive or soft and flexible plastics, the dry-cut pelletizers of the PRIMO E series are a reliable partner in your compounding process. Mr. Andreas Weidner, Sales Director Pelletizing - Greater China, MAAG Group describes how the strand pelletizer model works and its advantages.
