Extrusion International 5-2022

55 Extrusion International 5/2022 High-Efficiency Technologies for Processing and Recycling Plastics A t K 2022 Coperion and Coperion K-Tron will be presenting a vari- ety of new and ongoing developments that will markedly increase the efficien - cy of plastics compounding processes, help boost conscientious resource han- dling while at the same time achieving very high product quality. Moreover, the company is creating a space dedi- cated to the forward-looking topic of “Plastics Recycling”. Coperion will be exhibiting an entire production line for recycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET) at their booth within the VDMA’s Circular Economy Forum, a pavilion on the open-air fairgrounds. Exhibits will encompass bulk solids handling, feeding, extrusion, and pelletizing, all representing Coperion’s advanced ex - pertise in numerous plastics recycling processes such as chemical recycling, multilayer film recycling, and upcy - cling. Trailblazing new developments from Coperion, such as the ZS-B MEGAfeed side feeder that en- ables plastic film and flake recy - cling in very high throughput di- mensions, will be center stage at the Coperion Recycling Pavilion. One eye catcher at the Coperion booth will be the high performance ZSKMc18 extruder with a 70mm screw diameter. With its high specific torque of 18 Nm/cm3, it is especially suited for efficient compounding of plastics at very high throughput rates and with comparatively low energy consump- tion. The ZSK extruder is equipped with a ZS-B easy side feeder as well as a ZS-EG side devolatilization unit. Both the ZS-B as well as the ZS-EG – thanks to their simple design – significantly Visit us!
