Coperion Nanjing moves to new facility in September 2015

 

Coperion said the new building is designed with the following features: the most advanced machinery production technology with engineering and manufacturing know-how from Coperion Stuttgart, Germany; an optimized, tailor-made workshop layout for highly efficient production; and a center with new German-made CNC machines and centralized air conditioning to ensure the high machining precision will also be integrated as well as new advanced manufacturing machines.

 

Ensuring maximum sustainable quality

 

To ensure maximum sustainable quality in the manufacturing process, Coperion Nanjing’s quality assurance team will continue to be supported by experts from Coperion Stuttgart. 

 

The new facility will be equipped with high-precision equipment for 3-dimensional inspection and barrel leakage testing. It is completed by barrel washing equipment, chemical composite analyzer, magnetic detector and hardness tester to ensure alignment after assembly.

 

The entire production process will also be closely monitored, using German high-precision, high-level production and quality measuring machinery and equipment. 

 

The Coperion Nanjing test center, meanwhile, will be extended with comprehensive upstream and downstream equipment, including material handling, to provide customer process tests. In order to be able to offer customers a broader variety of application tests and increase testing capacity, a new ZSK 32 Mc18 twin screw extruder with 18 Nm/cm³ torque will join the two existing STS compounders in late 2015 for tests, simulation and scale-up.

 

The expansion of Coperion Nanjing’s operations is another step forward for Coperion and reflects the importance of China to the company’s business, Coperion said. 

 

“It is an investment in the future and a clear commitment to the STS Mc11 twin screw extruder series,” said Thomas Kehl, president of Coperion.  “Coperion Nanjing will play a more important role in the Coperion network not only as an extruder manufacturing site but also from a customer service point-of-view.”

 

The new plant in the Nanjing Jiangning District strengthens our footprint in the Chinese and Asian market, Coperion also said.

 

“We are proud of the new shop floor that will be designed in an efficient and professional way. Our manufacturing area will be equipped with a significant number of German-made machining centers as well as quality control equipment supporting our latest quality offensive. And the new test lab will be upgraded with a high-end extruder from Coperion’s ZSK Mc18 series,” Joanne Shen, Coperion Nanjing’s managing director, said. “All these changes show Coperion’s commitment to our Nanjing plant and underscore high expectations for future development.”
