Coperion is the worldwide market and technology leader in compounding & extrusion, materials handling and service – as well as being a partner for global corporations and small to medium-sized enterprises in the plastics, chemicals, food and aluminium industries.

As an integrated technology provider, we use our comprehensive system and process expertise to implement individual solutions for compounding technology and bulk materials handling. This includes extruders, compounders, pneumatic conveying systems as well as components for bulk material handling.

SECTION A. COUNPOUNDING & EXTRUSION:

With Coperion you have the partner at your side who can offer you the best solution for all your compounding tasks. This begins with special applications on a laboratory scale and extends right through to industrial production plants. As a pioneer in the development of the closely intermeshing, co-rotating twin screw extruder, we possess a unique know-how and an extraordinary wealth of experience in this field. Coperion has continuously set new standards in machine and system design for processing technology since the 1950s. More than 10,000 installed compounding systems worldwide are proof of our unique system and process competence. And despite all our engineering skills we never forgot one important thing: We listen closely to what our partners say! That’s what we mean when we say confidence through partnership.

A.1. Machines / Systems:

1. ZSK series:

The ZSK series combines the results of more than 50 years of process and processing competence. It is the high-end, high-tech heart of our systems with the maximum torque, speed and free volume.

2. STS series:

The STS series features a high degree of standardization and is especially suitable for standardized process tasks. It combines the process technology expertise of Coperion in Germany with the serial production in China at an attractive price-performance ratio. Since the series is certified according to CE standards, it can also be used in Europe.

3. CTE & CKY series:

The CTE and CKY series are developed and produced in China. They are specially adapted to the requirements of the Asian market and have no CE certification.

4. Modular and turnkey plants:

Our modular and turnkey plants are a specialty in the segment for total solutions. These give the customer a compounding system pre-assembled from standardized components and integrated into the steel structure that offers everything from the raw material feeding to the entire downstream equipment.

The differences between three series are shown as below:

In complex processes such as the compounding of high viscous masses, the quality of the end product is the key factor. From metering, through raw materials feeding, conveying, melting, dispersing, homogenizing, devolatilizing, pressure build-up, filtering and pelletizing, every process step has to be precisely adapted to suit the application. The process and system competence of our specialists guarantees you high-quality results.Each one of our extruders and systems convinces customers with the optimum co-ordination of the individual process steps and gentle handling of the product all at maximum productivity and efficiency.
