Extrusion
The Recycling Game Changer
Recycling meets innovation:
IIn a groundbreaking technology partnership, MAS and Siempelkamp have developed a more innovative, cleaner, and more efficient approach to plastic recycling and compounding.
The iQonicTwinPreDensifier combines two proven high-end technologies: Siempelkamp’s high-performance agglomerator and MAS’s conical co-rotating twin-screw extruder. The upstream agglomerator significantly increases the extruder's throughput, ensuring smooth operation at maximum efficiency.
Particle size homogenization reduces dust emissions and optimizes material flow within the process. This sets new industry standards in energy efficiency, product quality, and process reliability—without the drawbacks of conventional cutting compactors or parallel twin-screw systems.
Together, these systems form a fully integrated solution for size reduction, densifying, and extrusion-designed for the evolving demands of modern recycling.
Important advantages:
Energy Efficiency
The upstream agglomerator significantly increases throughput capacity - for smooth processes, maximum efficiency and real boost for your production.
No Dust Emission
The use of an upstream agglomerator homogenizes the particle size, minimizes dust contents and optimizes the flow conditions in the production process.
Easy Start and Stop
Instant start/stop capability incl. no warm-up needed. Full process control (start/stop, emergency stop, monitoring).
Easy Maintenance
The spare parts are characterized by robustness, durability and easy accessibility. Maintenance work and material changes can be carried out quickly and precisely with only minimal downtime. The system also features a compact footprint.
No Water Injection
The agglomerator processes both dry and moist material efficiently and creates optimal conditions for the extrusion process. An additional water injection is not required.
Uninterrupted Material FLow
Reduces gel formation and prevents clumping or cake formation in the cutting compactor.
iQonicTwin PreDensifier
The iQonicTwinPreDensifier enables stable melt filtration through controlled pressure increases in the tapered zone, while integrated vacuum degassing reliably removes volatile components.
The result is a homogeneous, thermally processed regranulate of the highest purity for demanding recycling applications.
