At CHINAPLAS 2026, the MAAG Group and SIKORA will present together for the first time in China.

 

The MAAG Group will present modern solutions for polymer processing and manufacturing as well as pipe and hose production while SIKORA presents innovative measurement, control, inspection, and sorting technologies.

 

“Our joint trade fair appearance clearly shows where we are heading strategically. We offer our customers integrated systems for polymer processing and comprehensive quality control,” emphasizes Ueli Thürig, President of the MAAG Group.

 

New generation M² USG

 

With the revised M² USG series, MAAG is introducing a strand pelletizing system that enables higher process stability, increased throughput, and improved pellet quality thanks to design optimizations and additional sensor technology.

The pelletizer is designed for maximum plant availability (>99% OEE) and stable production processes. Reduced downtime and lower scrap rates lower operating costs and increase profitability.

 

At the heart of the system is the new cutting head, which facilitates operation and maintenance and reduces potential operating errors.

 

High-performance melt filters for recycling processes

 

MAAG offers continuous melt filters such as the ERF 350 for plastics recycling. It processes throughputs of up to 3,800 kg/h and can handle contamination levels of up to 16%.

The melt flows from the outside to the inside through a rotating drum with numerous holes. Contaminants such as paper, wood, rubber, or metal stick to the outside of the drum and are continuously scraped off.

 

A total of four ERF models cover throughput ranges from 150 to 10,000 kg/h. In addition, four ECO models are available for PET applications with lower levels of contamination, such as from production waste.

 

BAOLI 3 strand pelletizer

 

The BAOLI 3 is a dry-cut strand pelletizer for compounding and recycling. The machine uses key components such as cutting tools and strand feeders that are manufactured in Germany.

Three model sizes enable throughputs between 20 and 3,450 kg/h, depending on the material and application. Key advantages include high pellet quality, long service life, low noise level, ease of use, and flexible installation options for different production environments.

 

PURITY CONCEPT V for inspection and analysis of pellets, flakes, and test plates

 

At CHINAPLAS, SIKORA will present the PURITY CONCEPT V, an offline system for random sampling and analysis of granules, flakes, and test plates.

The system uses an optical camera to detect contaminants such as black or colored specks and discolorations from 50 µm. The analysis takes less than a minute, including a test certificate and HSV color chart of the detected color deviations. The system thus makes a significant contribution to product quality and safety.

 

PURITY SCANNER ADVANCED for inspection and sorting

 

With the PURITY SCANNER ADVANCED, SIKORA offers a configurable inspection and sorting system that combines maximum precision with modular technology. Critical contaminants—even those of minimal size—are reliably detected and automatically sorted out.

The detection and blow-out systems work in perfect coordination. Depending on the application, different camera types can be integrated.

 

In addition to high-resolution optical cameras that detect black specks from 25 µm, an X-ray camera is also available as an option – specifically for the detection of metallic particles in granulate.

 

Another highlight is the hybrid blow-out system. It defines which types of impurities are tolerable – for example, small, light-colored black specks – and sort them out with a smaller blow-out unit. For critical contaminants such as metal particles, however, a large-area blow-out is used. This intelligent interaction minimizes unnecessary material loss and contributes significantly to economical and sustainable production.

 

CENTERWAVE 6000 for measuring the wall thickness and diameter of pipes

 

In the field of measurement technology for pipe and hose extrusion, SIKORA also presents the CENTERWAVE 6000. The system measures pipes with diameters from 32 mm to 1,600 mm directly after the first vacuum tank without contact.

A continuously rotating transceiver and a powerful processor system use millimeter wave technology to accurately measure the diameter and wall thickness over 360 degrees of the product circumference. This facilitates the centering of the extrusion tools, reduces material consumption, and lowers costs.

 

X-RAY 6000 PRO for measuring all dimensions of multilayer products

 

With the X-RAY 6000 PRO, SIKORA introduces an innovative system based on X-ray technology that continuously provides measurement values for wall thickness, eccentricity, and inner and outer diameters of multi-layer tubes and pipes in extrusion lines.

 

The measurement results are clearly displayed on the monitor of the ECOCONTROL 6000 processor system. The X-RAY 6000 PRO can be flexibly used after the extruder, between two vacuum tanks/cooling sections, or at the end of the line for cold measurement.

 

From the very first day of operation, the system enables precise reduction of the wall thickness to the minimum permissible value, thus ensuring significant material and cost savings.
