From raw material production through to recycling systems
Maag stand 6202 in hall A6
For the first time at Fakuma, Maag will be sharing a stand with filter manufacturer Ettlinger, which joined the group in January this year. As a result, Maag will be offering products for applications from raw material production, through compounding, to recycling, all from a single source.
The range of products shown will extend from a gear pump for high pressures, through a dry-cut strand pelletiser and an underwater pelletizing system for the production of spherical pellets ending with a high-performance melt filter with an extra-fine filtration grade for bottle-to-bottle PET recycling.
The ECO 200 high-performance melt filter from Ettlinger being presented at Fakuma 2018 is – like the larger ECO 250 version – designed for very free-flowing materials such as PET and PA with pollution severities up to 1.5 %, but is also suitable for polyolefins and polystyrenes. Typical applications are compounding and filtration of gels and agglomerates, in particular of aluminum, paper, silicone or PVC constituents from recycled PET bottles. The now available extra-high filtration grade of 60 µm is ideal for bottle-to-bottle recycling, with its extremely high quality demands. Thanks to their efficiency, the ECO melt filters can be integrated directly into PET thermoforming lines, where their throughput rates of up to 1000 kg/h (type 200) and 3000 kg/h (type 250) help to improve machine availability and enhance cost-effectiveness.
