Major extrusion merger between Maag Pump Systems and Automatik Plastics Machinery

From PlasticToday.com: Maag is a leading supplier of gear pumps, filtration systems and screen changers, while Automatik is the leader in pelletizing systems for producing plastic pellets. Both companies will maintain their existing brand names for the time being, and their private equity owners will each hold a 50% stake in the combined firms.

Maag is based in Obrglatt, Switzerland, while Automatik calls Grossostheim, Germany its home. With their merger, the two join to create a force especially in the plastics extrusion market, with about 460 employees and a turnover of about €100 million. According to the companies, one major immediate benefit will be that the two, combined, nearly double their international presence to more than 100 countries.

PFA lined Gear Pumps Meet The Challenge At lower Cost

From Chemical Online: Safely transferring aggressive liquids, such as inorganic acids, bases and salts, requires a pump with features including non-metallic wetted parts and characteristics such as zero leakage.

In meeting these challenges, Liquiflo have developed their range of magnetically driven PFA lined gear pumps which avoid the expense associated with pumps made from expensive alloys or exotic metals.

Available through Michael Smith Engineers, Liquiflo PFA lined stainless steel pumps are ideally suited to handling chemicals that are difficult to handle such as hydrochloric acid, ferric chloride, sulphuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, sodium hypochlorite, nitric acid and chromic acid. They are also a good choice for high purity applications where media contact with metallic components must be avoided.
