MAAG Group is a global technology leader in polymer processing, uniting ten specialized brands — MAAG, AUTOMATIK, GALA, ETTLINGER, SCHEER, REDUCTION, WITTE, SIKORA, XANTEC, and AMN — under one integrated systems provider. Part of Dover Corporation, MAAG Group employs around 1,000 people across 16+ locations worldwide, delivering equipment and complete process lines for the polymer, chemical, and petrochemical industries.

For the plastics recycling industry, MAAG Group offers integrated solutions across the full value chain — gear pumps, melt filtration, pelletizing, and drying — engineered to convert post-industrial and post-consumer plastic waste into pellets that match virgin-material quality.

Filtration
MAAG's continuous melt filtration systems are built for the contamination challenges specific to recycled feedstock. The ERF and BRF series process LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP, PS, ABS, and PC among other polymers, with the ability to run for extended periods without filter changeover even at contamination levels of up to 16% — critical for demanding film and mixed-waste streams carrying paper labels, wood particles, and metal fines. The ECO series is purpose-built for PET and PA recycling, suited to lightly contaminated post-consumer and industrial waste. FSC and CSC screen changers, with pressure-adaptive and piston-based sealing, round out the filtration offering for consistent, leak-free melt quality.

Gear Pumps
The extrex⁶ Recycling pump is a purpose-built variant of MAAG's proven gear pump platform, engineered to tolerate foreign particles typical of recycled melt streams while maintaining precise, consistent output — protecting downstream filtration and pelletizing equipment.

Pelletizing
MAAG Group's pelletizing portfolio spans underwater, strand, and dry-cut technologies. The PEARLO underwater pelletizer handles a broad range of recycled polymers and compounds. The JSG and PRIMO S strand pelletizing systems deliver high-throughput, uniform cylindrical pellets suited to recycling and compounding lines. GALA centrifugal dryers, including the eXso series, complete the line with efficient, low-maintenance drying engineered specifically for recycled pellet output.

Application Coverage
MAAG Group's recycling solutions address three core material streams: PET (bottle-to-fiber, sheet, and bottle-to-bottle), film (high-contamination, up to 16%), and rigid plastics (automotive and packaging waste with silicone, paint, and metal contaminants).
Backed by a global service network — including on-site technical support, rotor and die-plate regrinding centers, and spare parts availability — MAAG Group helps recyclers maximize uptime and pellet quality at scale.
