PLANT COMPONENTS MATTER Gentle, efficient and resource-saving The process for the production of virgin polymer is usually a continuous process containing polymerization, reactor discharging, filtration, pressure changes, and pelletizing. Only if competence and distinct quality awareness meet, high product quality can be achieved. The striking quality of the single component and especially high availability in combination with the corresponding cost-effectiveness of the entire process are prioritized. The Maag Group offers its customers a wide range of products from pumps to filtration and pelletizing systems as well as the relevant control systems, also for the production of the below listed virgin polymers: • Polyester • Polyamides • Polyolefines • Polystyrenes • Biopolymers Exemplary polymer production process 3
