OBERGLATT, Switzerland,
Sept. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Maag,
part of Dover (NYSE: DOV), and a leading worldwide manufacturer of
gear pumps, pelletizing and filtration systems, is pleased and
proud to announce it has finalized a contract with Hainan Huasheng
New Material Technology Co. Ltd. to supply pumps, pelletizing
systems and screen changers for its new polycarbonate-production
facility.
When completed in 2020, the facility will be capable of
producing up to 260 kilotons per annum (573 million pounds per
year) of polycarbonate, which is used worldwide as a base compound
in the manufacture of electronic, automotive, aircraft, railway and
security components, construction materials, and data-storage
devices. This new plant will be located in the Hainan Dongfang
Industrial Park in Hainan Province
in southern China.
Maag was chosen by Hainan Huasheng to outfit its new production
facility because since the 1980s, Maag has built a reputation as a
provider of dependable, durable, safe and efficient equipment and
systems that are used in the production of polycarbonate. In fact,
today upwards of 90% of the globally produced polycarbonate is done
so with the assistance of Maag equipment.
Maag gear pumps are ideal for use in polycarbonate manufacturing
because they possess the operational reliability that is required
in 24/7 production cycles. Maag pumps are available in an extensive
range of materials of construction, which allows them to be
configured to meet the user's unique operational requirements.
Product quality is guaranteed through the pump's stable discharge
rates and low tolerance deviations, which result in overall process
stability.
Maag has been a world leader in developing and supplying
pelletizing systems to the polycarbonate market for many years, and
currently has more than 200 production lines in operation, some of
which feature a pelletizing system that can produce up to 14 tons
(28,000 pounds) of polycarbonate per hour. The performance and
reputation of Maag Automatik's pelletizing systems are also
strengthened by their symmetry with the Gala and Scheer pelletizing
brands, which have also been market leaders for many decades.
Designed for use in upstream and downstream extrusion and
filtration processes, Maag is the only manufacturer to offer
arch-type screen changers that are available as standard equipment
on pressure-adaptive sealing systems. This capability ensures that
the screen changeover can be completed without any costly
interruption in production schedules.
