TWIN-SCREW EXTRUDER
MAS

THE CONICAL
RECYCLING MARVEL

The MAS twin screw was devel­oped specif­i­cal­ly for deploy­ment in recy­cling and achieves its full poten­tial in the upcy­cling sec­tor. Flex­i­ble, resource-effi­cient twin-screw extrud­ers ensure the envi­ron­men­tal­ly friend­ly pro­cess­ing of recy­clable plas­tics frac­tions and the high­est qual­i­ty of the result­ing gran­u­late.

This tried and test­ed MAS inno­va­tion has been deployed more than 200 times around the world, gen­er­at­ing high-qual­i­ty mate­r­i­al for the impor­tant recy­cling loop. Expe­ri­ence top-lev­el engi­neer­ing.

UNIQUE BENEFITS

Security of investment:

Sim­ple adap­tion of the flex­i­ble, inno­v­a­tive sys­tem to com­mer­cial changes

Adaptability:

The sys­tem can be mod­i­fied due to sim­ple adap­tion to dif­fer­ent mate­r­i­al frac­tions, there­by guar­an­tee­ing com­mer­cial flex­i­bil­i­ty.

Resource efficiency:

Tar­get­ed and there­fore reduced ener­gy input along the pro­cess­ing unit thanks to air cool­ing in the dis­charge area

Low consumption:

CO2- reduc­tion thanks to rev­o­lu­tion­ary process tech­nol­o­gy

Simple operation:

Reli­able and user-friend­ly han­dling thanks to log­i­cal­ly designed touch pan­el

OPTIMIZED
EXTRUSION PROCESS

Con­ven­tion­al twin-screw extrud­ers are fre­quent­ly con­vert­ed and con­fig­ured for use in recy­cling. MAS extrud­ers were devel­oped specif­i­cal­ly for this very pur­pose and are a tai­lor-made and future-proof solu­tion for twin-screw extru­sion in the world of recy­cling. The inno­v­a­tive, patent­ed MAS tech­nol­o­gy unites the excel­lent homog­e­niza­tion and degassing per­for­mance of co-rotat­ing twin-screw extrud­ers with robust mechan­i­cal engi­neer­ing and a broad range of appli­ca­tions for a wide vari­ety of recy­cling frac­tions to per­fec­tion. The patent­ed con­i­cal co-rotat­ing design of the process unit fea­tures a large feed open­ing. This means the extrud­er has a larg­er feed vol­ume and can reli­ably col­lect light mate­r­i­al frac­tions at low screw dri­ve. The increas­ing­ly small­er diam­e­ter results in increas­ing­ly slow­er cir­cum­fer­en­tial speeds toward the dis­charge, and thus low­er shear and more envi­ron­men­tal­ly friend­ly plas­tics pro­cess­ing.

This opti­mal bal­ance of con­i­cal process unit, faster pro­cess­ing, short­er reten­tion time, and low­er cone rev­o­lu­tions increas­es the spe­cif­ic through­put vol­ume and reduces ener­gy con­sump­tion. Unde­sired byprod­ucts, gasses, and odors are reduced to an absolute min­i­mum. The result is con­sid­er­ably more usable high-qual­i­ty gran­u­late for the recy­cling and upcy­cling cycle.

The twin-screw extruder
in deployment

The inno­v­a­tive MAS extru­sion sys­tem is used in the pro­cess­ing of dif­fer­ent plas­tics frac­tions, such as mate­ri­als of the low­est bulk den­si­ty, mill mate­ri­als, flakes, new prod­ucts, and fibers. Addi­tives, fill­ing mate­ri­als, and fibers can be added direct­ly via the feed open­ing with­out com­pli­cat­ed and high-main­te­nance side dos­ing. This means:

  • Joint recy­cling and com­pound­ing of sev­er­al prod­ucts (e.g., LLDPE with LDPE, sheets with mill mate­ri­als)

  • High­er-qual­i­ty gran­u­la­tion of sheets com­pared to con­ven­tion­al extrud­ers

  • Mate­r­i­al inclu­sions (e.g., glue on sheets) are removed com­plete­ly to ensure max­i­mum prod­uct puri­ty

  • Con­sid­er­ably high­er recy­cling ratio and bet­ter qual­i­ty pos­si­ble for PET

  • No mate­r­i­al back-up at the feed thanks to con­i­cal con­struc­tion

Low maintenance
design

The con­i­cal con­struc­tion facil­i­tates gen­er­ous­ly dimen­sioned screw bear­ing and a mas­sive screw con­struc­tion while keep­ing the machine’s dimen­sions com­pact. Flex­i­ble con­ver­sions of exist­ing sys­tems are pos­si­ble with­out any loss of qual­i­ty or func­tion­al­i­ty.

At the same time, the twin-screw extrud­er stands out due to its com­par­a­tive­ly low wear and tear and its easy main­te­nance. MAS screws con­sist of sev­er­al ele­ments that can be replaced indi­vid­u­al­ly. The extru­sion sys­tem fea­tures state-of-the-art tech­nol­o­gy even after repairs and replace­ments thanks to ongo­ing, cer­ti­fied inno­va­tion and fur­ther devel­op­ment.
