Extrusion International 5-2026

53 Extrusion International 5/2026 ings of up to 50% to be achieved in the extruder. In addition, the design enables optimized temperature control in the melt process. Since this lowers the thermal stress on the material, the use of expensive stabilizers can be partially reduced, representing a direct economic ad- vantage for the processor. PRIMO 60 E Strand Pelletizer for Flexible Production As another exhibit, MAAG is showing the eld-proven PRIMO 60 E strand pelletizer. This machinewas designed for the exible processing of a wide variety of polymers. It is aimed particularly at manufacturers of masterbatch and compounds, as well as processors of specialty poly- mers, whose daily production routine includes frequent prod- uct changes, smaller batches, and varying material proper- ties. Fast cleaning, easy ac- cessibility, and short tool-change times were the primary focus during design. Product Manager Alexander Helm explains the ap- proach: "In masterbatch and com- pound production today, maximum throughput is not the only factor that determines cost-effectiveness. It is equally important how quickly a system is ready for production again after a product changeover. With the PRIMO 60 E, we offer users a exible pelletizer tailored precisely to these requirements." Fast Sample Inspection with the PURITY CONCEPT V In addition to the conveying sys- tems, MAAG Group will present the PURITY CONCEPT V ofine testing system from SIKORA at the booth. The system is used for random sam- pling and analyzing pellets, akes, and test plates. Using an optical camera, it detects contamination such as black or colored specks and discoloration from a size of 50 µm. The analysis takes less than a minute and directly delivers a test certi cate and an HSV color map of the detect- ed color deviations, contributing to the assurance of product quality.

This expertise, developed over 45 years in business, will be showcased in the form of exclusive technological innovations at the upcoming Fakuma trade fair. Loadmatik – The advanced system for plastics material conveying Loadmatik represents a revolution in the plastics material conveying. Loadmatik automatically recog- nises and applies the conveying param¬eters: once the source and destination are speci ed, the system inde - pendently calculates the parameters, regardless of the distance or quantity. Loadmatik consists of three exclu- sive technologies: • The smart server One Wire 6 Plus monitors and man- ages conveying parameters. By interacting with the sys- tem’s components, it automatically ensures maximum performance without the need for operator input. • The X-Loader is an innovative receiver designed for next-generation conveying systems. It provides active support for the automatic detection of load values, rec- ognising and adjusting system parameters in real time using integrated “Sentry+” technology. • KruiseKontrol. A dynamic granule speed control sys- tem that actively manages operating pressures, adapt-
