MAS 110: The new generation of extruders from MAS - compact and powerful at the same time.

Recycling with MAS upgrade extrusion lines

The recycling upgrade for high demands

Con­ven­tion­al re-pel­letiz­ing sys­tems with a recy­cling extrud­er + melt fil­ter + pel­letiz­er con­fig­u­ra­tion often have through­put (kg/h) and pel­let qual­i­ty lim­i­ta­tions. MAS offers an upgrade extru­sion line as an opti­mal solu­tion, enabling exist­ing recy­cling extrud­ers to be oper­at­ed at sig­nif­i­cant­ly high­er through­puts with per­fect­ly degassed pel­lets of much high­er qual­i­ty.

Exist­ing lines can be specif­i­cal­ly expand­ed, retro­fit­ted, and com­mis­sioned with MAS upgrades. This is how we cre­ate top-qual­i­ty sys­tems with high-per­for­mance extrud­ers. We would be hap­py to pro­vide you with com­pre­hen­sive advice on expand­ing your extru­sion line.

Unique benefits

Flexible design

even mate­ri­als that are dif­fi­cult to degas can be degassed suc­cess­ful­ly and eas­i­ly

Simple expansion

thanks to high-qual­i­ty, tried and test­ed MAS machines and lines

Complete re-pelletizing

good con­tin­u­ous fil­tra­tion and strong degassing even of mate­ri­als that are dif­fi­cult to degas

Low investment:

max­i­mum effec­tive­ness with man­age­able expense

Homogenization

bal­anc­ing out fluc­tu­at­ing input qual­i­ties of dif­fer­ent recy­cling frac­tions leads to faster homog­e­niza­tion

Energy efficiency

low tem­per­a­ture, low shear, gen­tle treat­ment

Why is an upgrade necessary?

Con­ven­tion­al extru­sion lines often suf­fer through­put issues and lose the high­est pos­si­ble qual­i­ty of the out­put mate­r­i­al. Some com­po­nents are also dif­fi­cult to fil­ter out, such as sol­vents, col­or par­ti­cles, and oth­er volatilized com­po­nents.

MAS upgrade extru­sion lines can be eas­i­ly and cost-effec­tive­ly installed on exist­ing extru­sion lines. This upgrade sys­tem con­sists of an addi­tion­al CDF melt fil­ter and a cas­cade extrud­er TA . They sig­nif­i­cant­ly increase through­put, marked­ly improve pel­let qual­i­ty, and increase vent­ing per­for­mance along the entire extend­ed extru­sion facil­i­ty.
We plan and orga­nize the design, instal­la­tion, com­mis­sion­ing, and main­te­nance of your upgrade line. Based on exact tech­ni­cal spec­i­fi­ca­tions and/or an on-site vis­it, as well as com­pre­hen­sive infor­ma­tion on the desired per­for­mance tar­gets, we can design upgrades that will ful­ly meet your require­ments and make your upcy­cling process­es sig­nif­i­cant­ly eas­i­er and more effec­tive. And all of this for exist­ing lines of all kinds.

How extrusion lines are expanded

Impu­ri­ties can be removed extreme­ly effi­cient­ly and con­tin­u­ous­ly from the melt flow with the instal­la­tion of an intel­li­gent CDF melt fil­ter, spe­cial­ly devel­oped and patent­ed by MAS for recy­cling appli­ca­tions, wood, paper, non-melt­ing plas­tics, rub­ber, and sim­i­lar mate­ri­als. Con­tin­u­al func­tion­al­i­ty elim­i­nates the need to con­stant­ly and labo­ri­ous­ly change the mesh screens, while also reduc­ing per­son­nel costs to a min­i­mum. Sim­i­lar­ly, exist­ing fil­ters in extru­sion lines can be exchanged for the MAS CDF ver­sion.
Down­stream of the CDF fil­ter, a short sin­gle-screw extrud­er (stan­dard length only approx. 15 l/d), equipped with a high­ly effi­cient degassing zone patent­ed by MAS, ensures the high­est qual­i­ty.

The spe­cial­ly devel­oped degassing zone of the cas­cade is equipped with a melt dis­tri­b­u­tion seg­ment. Com­bined with an opti­mal­ly designed screw geom­e­try, this gen­er­ates a con­stant­ly renew­ing, max­i­mized melt sur­face. Three gen­er­ous­ly dimen­sioned degassing domes, cou­pled with a vac­u­um pump[WK1] sized to match demand, guar­an­tee high­ly effi­cient degassing of even the most dif­fi­cult-to-process melts.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

What is MAS?

Found­ed by recy­cling pio­neer Hel­muth Schulz in 2006, the com­pa­ny is rev­o­lu­tion­iz­ing the exceed­ing­ly high qual­i­ty stan­dards of twin-screw extrud­ers for the recy­cling indus­try. MAS mas­ters the chal­lenges of mod­ern recy­cling and upcy­cling require­ments thanks to its patent­ed tech­nol­o­gy and became an inter­na­tion­al dri­ver of inno­va­tion in no time. Cus­tomers around the world ben­e­fit from envi­ron­men­tal­ly friend­ly added val­ue while sav­ing ener­gy and resources.
