MAAG Group presents its latest innovation in underwater pelletizing: the PEARLO Compact System (CS). With this compact system solution, MAAG Group expands its pelletizing portfolio and offers customers a modern, efficient, and user-friendly alternative to the outgoing LPU and EFLEX models. Designed for pelletizing rates between 50 and 500 kg/h, the PEARLO CS stands out for its small footprint and ease of operation.

A Versatile Compact System

The name “PEARLO” has long been synonymous with quality and process reliability, firmly established across a wide range of applications. With the addition of “CS” – Compact System – MAAG introduces a new solution for low-throughput underwater pelletizing that excels not only technologically but also in terms of space efficiency and operator comfort.

The PEARLO CS is a fully integrated system that includes all necessary components for efficient pelletizing. Its structured layout and compact design make it ideal for production environments with limited space or for operators seeking fast commissioning without complex system integration.

Proven MAAG Technology in a New Format

The PEARLO CS builds on MAAG’s well-established and field-proven technology. The system incorporates core components from the PEARLO series, including the tangential cutting chamber and optimized cutting tools. The overall system has been thoroughly redesigned and modernized to meet today’s production demands.

Another key advantage is its structured, maintenance-friendly design. Clear separation of functional areas ensures quick access to all maintenance-relevant components, minimizing downtime. MAAG continues its commitment to developing customer-oriented solutions that simplify daily operations.

Tailored for Small to Medium Throughput Ranges

With a throughput range of 50 to 500 kg/h and available in two sizes, the PEARLO CS targets production scales where flexibility and efficiency are equally critical. Many operators face the challenge of processing diverse materials under varying conditions—while maintaining high quality and low operating costs.

This is where MAAG’s PEARLO CS excels: the system allows for rapid product changes, handles a wide range of materials, and delivers exceptional process stability for maximum reproducibility. The result: consistent pellet quality, low scrap rates, and maximum flexibility.

A Successor with Real Improvements

The PEARLO CS supersedes the proven LPU and EFLEX models—two systems that have long been established in the market. However, the new system brings significant enhancements, including a reduced footprint and improved configurability.

Debut at the K-2025

The PEARLO CS will make its official debut at the K-2025 in Düsseldorf in October 2025. MAAG will present the new system and offer visitors the opportunity to experience the benefits of this compact solution firsthand.

With the PEARLO CS, MAAG demonstrates that compact design, advanced technology, and user-friendly operation are not mutually exclusive—but rather a powerful combination tailored to the needs of modern plastics processing.

Conclusion

With the PEARLO CS (Compact System), MAAG introduces a product defined by its compactness and ease of use. It offers a well-thought-out system specifically designed to meet the needs of small and mid-sized production environments.
