System solutions for the plastics industry
Maag Group, Hall 9 – Booth A02
The MAAG Group will unveil a host of technologies for the plastics industry, all centred around integrated system solutions in pelletising, extrusion, filtration, recycling as well as measurement and controls. Here are some highlights that will be presented:
Debut of the PEARLO CS – compact underwater pelletising
The new PEARLO CS draws on the proven PEARLO series, it features the familiar tangential cutting chamber and optimised cutter design. Offered in two sizes, it targets production scales where flexibility and efficiency are essential. “We developed the PEARLO CS specifically for manufacturers who need top-tier performance in a streamlined footprint,” explains Product Manager Rico Sandmann.
M2-USG redefined – enhanced design
With an enlarged rotor diameter and improved water flow, the next generation M2-USG underwater strand pelletising system enables greater throughput and high pellet quality. Additional sensors boost process stability.
EBG – dust-reducing dry cut strand pelletising system
This semi-automated system offers flexible process control with reduced strand breaks, low moisture content, and minimised dust formation.
Virgin polymers in focus: PEARLO 350 & CIS System
MAAG introduces the largest underwater pelletising system for PET production with the PEARLO 350 pelletiser equipped with EAC technology and new die plate design, ensuring long tool life, precise cutting and reduced fines for premium granulate. For high throughputs, the Central Injection System (CIS) die plate introduces water centrally through the die plate to reduce agglomerates and improve pellet cooling for high-MI polymers.
The Maag Group also announced two novelties:
New centrifugal dryer lab in the US
MAAG has commissioned the new centrifugal dryer lab as a key part of the Centrifugal Dryer Center of Excellence in Eagle Rock, VA. The lab will allow MAAG to continue developing and refining centrifugal dryers for virgin polymer, recycling, and compounding systems. Focus for the lab include improved energy efficiency, drying performance, noise reduction and to build application specific knowledge for future innovation. For customers, the Centrifugal Dryer Lab can be utilised for drying tests up to 72,000 kg/h.
Welcome to the MAAG Group family: Sikora GmbH
Since June 2025, Sikora GmbH has joined the MAAG Group. Sikora will present their innovative measurement, control, inspection, and sorting technologies for quality control in the plastics industry in Hall 10, booth F14.
