Extrusion International 5-2022

57 Extrusion International 5/2022 duced directly into the ZSK extruder. Recyclers profit particularly from the very high end product quality. Thanks to the ZSK’s very good devolatilization properties, volatile components such as monomers, oligomers andwater are reliably removed. Savings in operating and logistics costs as well as reduced energy consumption are further ad- vantages of Coperion systems for recy- cling PET. If the plastic pellets produced cre- ate undesirable odors, these can be reliably removed using deodorization equipment from Coperion. In order to optimize such deodorizing equip- ment’s specification and to individu - ally determine its operational param- eters, Coperion now provides onsite tests using a mobile unit for reducing plastic pellet and recyclate odor at customers’ production facilities. Us- ing this solution with freshly produced product and under actual production conditions, the possibilities for reduc- ing recyclate odor can be thoroughly investigated, and system parameters to achieve desired product quality can be defined on location. Coperion will exhibit this mobile deodorization unit in its Recycling Pavilion. Marina Matta, Team Leader of Pro- cess Technology Engineering Plastics at Coperion, said: “Plastics recycling is one of the core topics that we are emphati- cally promoting in order to better sup- port the plastics industry on its path to a circular economy. We are very proud of our newly developed technologies and processes that achieve first-class product quality and make plastics re- cycling significantly more efficient. The innovative ZS-B MEGAfeed makes recycling of some plastic film and flake even possible in the first place. With our new Recycling Innovation Center, we will soon have the optimal environ- ment for developing further technolo- gies and working together with our customers to optimize recycling pro- cesses. We’re awaiting completion of the Recycling Innovation Center with excitement and great anticipation.” Coperion GmbH www.coperion.com K 2022: Hall 14, Stand B19 Pavilion on the open-air fairgrounds: CE09 The SWB-300 weight belt feeder from Coperion K-Tron is an extremely reliable gravimetric feeder offering high accuracy and efficient process control (Photo: Coperion K-Tron, Switzerland) www.busscorp.com BUSS is a worldwide leader in providing complete solutions for demanding compounding applications.
