Universal, strong, flexible: Pulverizers from REDUCTION
REDUCTION has been developing pulverizers for grinding plastics and other materials since 1992. In the field of reduction technology, REDUCTION offers state-of-the-art equipment for small to large throughputs. REDUCTION systems can handle standard applications using grinding in ambient air as well as special applications such as rubber elastic or temperature sensitive materials using cryogenic pulverizers where refrigerants embrittle the product in an upstream process so that it can then be ground.
Whether Polyolefine (PE, PP) or Technical Resins (PVC, ABS, PA, etc.) – REDUCTION pulverizers grind any polymer to the desired grain size. Every successful application is the result of 25 years’ research and development, innovative strength, and comprehensive know-how.
REDUCTION pelletizing systems for optimum strand pelletizing
REDUCTION pelletizing systems are continually being upgraded or redesigned to meet the changing requirements of the market and customers. Within the MAAG Group, innovative technologies and customer-oriented development has serve to create high-performance pelletizing systems for the polymer industry. The high demands it imposes in terms of its own performance, consistent orientation to customers’ needs and reliability in its work are what have distinguished REDUCTION for over 20 years. As part of the MAAG Group, delivering optimum strand pelletizing across a wide range of applications is our focus.
