MAAG Corporation Fully Automatic Strand Pelletizer 【M-USG】

A fully automated pelletizer that completely automates the start of operation and reduces troubles during driving.

In the conventional water tank pellet granulation process, when starting operation, it is necessary to manually transport the strands to the cutter entrance and arrange the strands so that they do not overlap, which involves hazardous and labor-intensive work. With the M-USG from MAAG Automatik, when starting operation, a sliding guide that flows the strands moves, allowing the strands to be automatically transported to the cutter entrance without human intervention, enabling cutting. The cutter part (cutting head), composed of rotating blades and feed rolls, is designed as an attachment type (modular), allowing for spare parts to be held at the module level, thus reducing downtime caused by blade replacement and other maintenance tasks. Additionally, this eliminates the need for spare lines and rail systems, minimizing the installation space required. Since the required cooling length varies depending on the resin, there are two types available: a horizontal type with a long cooling length and a vertical type, with over 300 units delivered domestically. In contrast to the M-USG, which is capable of mass production, we also offer the P-USG, which has the minimum necessary functions tailored for lower processing volumes.

basic information

**Features of Maag Automatik's Pelletizer** ■ Blade edge shapes (up to 15 types) and blade materials tailored to each resin ■ Shortest design distance between the feed roll and rotating blade to reduce miscuts ■ The cutter section (cutting head) composed of rotating blades and feed rolls is attachment-type (modular), allowing for spare parts to be held at the module level, which minimizes downtime due to blade replacement work. ■ Rotating blades, fixed blades, and feed rolls can each be easily disassembled independently, requiring no tools and allowing easy access to the cutting tools. ■ Clearance adjustments can be easily made with a special tool. The cutting gap can be adjusted to a minimum of 0.02mm, and when combined with a large bed knife, the cutting gap becomes even more consistent, extending the lifespan of the cutter components. Additionally, to reduce the accumulation of fines and "angel hair," the internal gaps of the cutter are minimized, resulting in a structure that is nearly maintenance-free, while still allowing for easy independent disassembly of the rotating blades, fixed blades, and feed rolls.
