MAAG M²-USG: cutting monitoring in strand pelletizing
The quality of the pellets depends on several stages of the process. MAAG describes M²-USG within its strand pelletizing systems, with monitoring functions and a cutting head design that should be studied according to the application.
Clearance between blade and counterblade: a specific data for each machine
Cutting clearance influences how an industrial blade works against its bedknife. Adjusting it requires knowing the model, geometry and manufacturer’s procedure: a figure taken from another mill can cause contact between tools or inefficient reduction.

Serrated packaging knives: diagnose incomplete cuts
Serrated packaging knives must repeatably cut material that can vary in thickness, structure and behavior.
Pelletizer blades: detect irregular pellets and check the assembly
Irregular chaff can indicate a problem in cutting, but also changes in feeding, cooling or state of the polymer. Before replacing pelletizer blades, it is advisable to record the defect and relate it to the production conditions.
Scrap Shear Blades: Interpreting Burrs and Wear
Scrap shear blades must cut materials of varying geometry and thickness.
