MAS 110: The new extruder generation from MAS

The demands placed on mod­ern recy­cling and upcy­cling sys­tems are con­stant­ly increas­ing. More recy­clable plas­tics are avail­able than ever before thanks to new leg­is­la­tion and ongo­ing advances and devel­op­ments in col­lec­tion and sort­ing tech­nol­o­gy. How­ev­er, grow­ing envi­ron­men­tal aware­ness and the result­ing increase in the amount of plas­tics in the recy­cling loop has cre­at­ed new chal­lenges, which have long pushed con­ven­tion­al sys­tems to their lim­its. MAS, the Inno­va­tion dri­ver, can now present the result of a short but inten­sive AI-sup­port­ed devel­op­ment project: the MAS 110.

Compact and powerful at the same time

It was clear from the out­set that the new gen­er­a­tion of extrud­ers had to score high­ly in terms of pro­duc­tiv­i­ty and through­put. The new MAS 110 extrud­er now deliv­ers sig­nif­i­cant­ly high­er out­put: In the case of PET — 6 tonnes per hour can be processed, nat­u­ral­ly with the high­est qual­i­ty melt. At the same time, the MAS 110 retains the flex­i­bil­i­ty of its pre­de­ces­sors. It is also suit­able for all types of plas­tics and can be used in a wide range of appli­ca­tions, includ­ing chem­i­cal recy­cling, for exam­ple. Despite the leap in out­put, the new extru­sion sys­tem is com­pact: a new extru­sion mar­vel in the MAS prod­uct range. This means that the MAS 110 eas­i­ly fits into larg­er recy­cling and com­pound­ing sys­tems and can also be used suc­cess­ful­ly for upscal­ing exist­ing sys­tems.

Artificial intelligence as an evolutionary aid

Human know-how and AI-sup­port­ed sim­u­la­tions were suc­cess­ful­ly com­bined dur­ing the MAS 110 devel­op­ment process. Inten­sive col­lab­o­ra­tion with THE lead­ing sim­u­la­tion com­pa­ny in extru­sion tech­nol­o­gy result­ed in the rel­a­tive­ly short time to mar­ket. The MAS 110 is uni­ver­sal­ly applic­a­ble – from clas­sic bot­tle-to-bot­tle PET recy­cling to the com­pound twin-screw extrud­er for all ther­mo­plas­tic resins or as the extrud­er for direct extru­sion of films – once again high­light­ing MAS’s glob­al rep­u­ta­tion as a dri­ving force of inno­va­tion.

Foundation for further technical developments

While the MAS 110 is cur­rent­ly set­ting mile­stones in the extru­sion of plas­tics, this is just the begin­ning for MAS. Devel­op­ment work and the close inte­gra­tion of arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence and human exper­tise are cre­at­ing the basis for the next gen­er­a­tion of MAS solu­tions. Future devel­op­ments in the MAS fam­i­ly will cer­tain­ly not be long in com­ing. The MAS 110 can also add tan­gi­ble and sus­tain­able val­ue to your recy­cling and upcy­cling appli­ca­tions. Dur­ing an infor­ma­tive appoint­ment, we will deter­mine your require­ments and find a cus­tomised extrud­er solu­tion that meets all chal­lenges. Whether for upscal­ing exist­ing sys­tems or devel­op­ing new lines: with MAS, the tech­no­log­i­cal advan­tage of tomor­row is avail­able to you today.
