Impressing customers with pelletizing systems: KraussMaffei Berstorff wins market share around the world

As a system provider for complete solutions, KraussMaffei Berstorff is participating in the positive development of the pelletizing market. Thus, in the first quarter of 2015, multiple systems were delivered to Asia.

Pelletizing systems for processing rigid PVC
"Currently we are seeing an increased demand for systems that process polyethylene with color masterbatch," explains Andreas Kessler, General Sales Manager of KraussMaffei Berstorff at the Munich location. "But in addition, we are particularly happy about the good situation for orders of systems that pelletize rigid PVC, because here we are impressing customers with our longtime expertise as a system provider of complete systems that are exactly designed to meet their requirements—from the metering to the finished product," Kessler says. "Thanks to their processing units matched to specific products, our twin-screw extruders feature very high outputs and excellent product quality." The processor also benefits from the advantages of a cost-effective air-cooled pelletizer that is easy to operate, fast and easy to clean, and prevents pellets from sticking together.

Developments for processing C-PVC formulations
"We are enjoying great competitive advantages because we are able to offer our customers comprehensive process-engineering expertise for processing a great variety of formulations," Kessler adds. "As a result, we recently further developed and optimized our machine technology for processing C-PVC formulations."
Particularly in Asia and India, KraussMaffei Berstorff sees great market potential for C-PVC pellets, which—when processed into fittings—are used in hot and cold water applications.
