We know your business well. Flexible use of BKG underwater pelletizers. Nordson BKG underwater pelletizing systems cannot only be used for thermoplastic polymers but are also suitable for the all materials which behave like thermoplastic polymers. Polyolefines (e.g. LLDPE, LDPE, HDPE, PP, EPDM) Polyvinyl chloride (e.g. PVC-P (soft-pvc)) Styrol polymers (e.g. PS, SAN, ABS) Acrylic resin (e.g. PMMA) Polyacetates (e.g. POM) Polycarbonates (e.g. PC, PET, PBT, PEN) Polyamides (e.g. PA 6, PA 6.6, PA 11, PA 12) Polymerblends Thermoplastic elastomers (e.g. TPE-S, TPE-O, TPE-E, TPE-A) Polyurethanes Hot-melt adhesives (e.g. on the basis of EVA, APAO, PA) Natural resins (e.g. chewing gum basic material) Synthetic resins (e.g. epoxy resin) Page 6 Underwater pelletizing systems

Combigon Technical data Processes: Characteristics: Throughput: Pressure acting: Masterbatch, compounding, recycling. Modular design. 50 2,000 kg/h. By hydraulic adjustment. Optigon Technical data Processes: Characteristics: Throughput: Pressure acting: Masterbatch, compounding, recycling. Modular design, noise reduction of the dryer < 80 dba. 500 kg 35 t/h. By hydraulic adjustment. Page 10 Underwater pelletizing systems

Lab-Line Technical data Processes: Characteristics: Throughput: Pressure acting: Laboratory applications. Easy handling, compact design. 2 200 kg/h. By hand or hydraulic adjustment. Online grinding device Technical data Benefit: Characteristics: Securing optimum production conditions by regrinding the die plate depending on the wear. Significant time savings, because this tool is simply screwed on the pelletizer instead of the cutter hub. After having coupled to the water box, the regrinding program which takes only a few minutes can be started. Thus, the complete dismounting and mounting of the die plate is no longer necessary.

Gentle and efficient. CrystallCut Technical data Processes: Characteristics: Throughput: Pressure acting: Polymerization, recycling of PET. No additional energy supply required. 50 kg 35 t/h. By hand or hydraulic adjustment. Crystallization by use of the energy present in the pellets. Thus, the pellets crystallized with CrystallCut are very homogeneous. Advantages Degree of crystallization approx. 40%. Almost dust-free product. Up to 8% higher bulk density. Lower energy consumption. Reduced production costs. Direct transportation into the SSP possible. Quick start-up of the line and product change. No sticking together of the pellets due to even crystallinity. Page 14 Underwater pelletizing systems

The Polymer Processing Systems Group. Nordson Corporation s Polymer Processing Systems Group, a new worldwide business providing customers with a uniquely broad range of technologies for melting, conditioning, dispensing, and giving shape to plastics. Following a series of strategic acquisitions, Nordson now manufactures underwater pelletizing systems and precision melt stream components starting with the screws and barrels for extrusion and molding and proceeding downstream to the dies used to produce film, sheet, coatings, and pellets. In between are a diversity of critical components such as filtration systems, pumps, and valves. Nordson Corporation, the parent company that has brought together the complementary specialties of four acquired businesses, has extensive resources that will benefit their customers. With operations in more than 30 countries, Nordson provides a global base for increasing localized access to sales and technical services. The company s strong support for R&D will result in an increased flow of innovations in components for plastics processing, from new screw and barrel technologies to breakthroughs in pelletizers and extrusion and coating dies. All of the businesses that Nordson has acquired to form its Polymer Processing Systems Group are leading suppliers of components for melt processing production lines, excel in precision engineering, and place a high value on supporting customers and standing by them long after the sale. Nordson s customers will benefit from the wide range of product offerings available from these businesses, from Nordson Corporation s global capabilities for manufacture and localized service, and from our strategy for bringing together complementary technologies to optimize polymer processing. Nordson is a publicly traded multinational company with annual sales of nearly $ 1.5-billion. Based in Westlake, Ohio, U.S.A., the company is a world leader in the manufacture of precision-engineered dispensing equipment for adhesives, coatings, sealants, and other materials, and it also produces systems for fluid management, testing and inspection, UV curing, and plasma surface treatment. Like the businesses that it has recently acquired, Nordson has special expertise in equipment for melting, filtering, pumping, and metering material for critical applications.
