P-USG System components Based on experience for many decades in the field of underwater strand pelletizing systems, MAAG Automatik provides the appropriate solution for your individual requirements. P-USG underwater pelletizing systems feature high operating speed resulting in high throughput rates per strand thus providing outstanding efficiency, which is highly appreciated for recycling applications in particular. The system is characterized by a very simple start-up process and produces cylindrical pellets of excellent quality. One of the main advantages of the P-USG is enhanced availability...

P-USG System components The optimal selection of all system components – from the die head and the P-USG to the dryer and the related process water treatment system – guarantees high product quality and process stability. Easy access allows comfortable operation and maintenance of the system. Die head ¡ Electric, liquid, or steam heating ¡ Absolutely uniform melt distribution (uniform strands, no agglomerates) ¡ Compact design, short product channels, no dead spots, low volume ¡ Swivel joint for fast access to extruder screws Strand guide section ¡ Height-adjustable strand guide section for simple...

P-USG System components Pelletizer ¡ Troublefree strand intake during start-up due to driven feed rolls ¡ Steady strand feeding to the cutter due to short distance between intake unit and cutting tool ¡ High cutting consistency due to massive seamless knife fixture ¡ Maintenance-free moisture-tight cutting head bearings ¡ Highly reliable process – clumping is avoided by passing the entire volume of process water through the cutting head so that the strands and pellets are constantly in contact with water ¡ No pellet residues due to the optimized cutting head design ¡ Simple cleaning and adjustment...
