AMN is not only a specialist for the design and manufacturing of pelletizing equipment. We can also ensure that your production and maintenance teams are aware of the top of the art practices and troubleshooting
AMN can help in all the following situations
Extrusion and pelletizing operations
The extruder and pelletizer are two key pieces of equipment in a plastic pelletizing operation that have to be examined holistically.
AMN can provide extrusion and pelletizing knowledge to bring your young engineers to an operational level.
Extrusion process design
Competent OEMs deliver extrusion and pelletizing lines based on the target grades supplied to them usually many years before the plant begins to run. Reality hits production plants the day they begin to make production of quantities of material:

AMN will help the operation people meeting the requirements with real cases studies and troubleshooting.
Product evolution
Resin buyers always want to gain advantages for their customers and their own profitability and so want to buy resins that give properties improvements. These changes are developed by modifications of the polymer structure and formulation.
AMN will bring troubleshooting experience and provide useful advice for production parameters readjustments.
Production profitability
As a production line gets beyond the start-up phase, management wants to see more and more profitability
As a production line gets beyond the start-up phase, management wants to see more and more profitability
- Higher production rates and reliability
- Improved quality of the product and reduced losses or down grades
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Wider range of products for more profitably or customer satisfaction
- Capital projects that produce good return on investment.
AMN can propose new design pelletizing tools, better choice of materials, as well as a method to undertake a complete study of failure modes and improved maintenance operations.
