K 2013: Coperion introduced latest twin screw extruder ZSK 26 Mc18

One of the latest developments of Coperion GmbH highlighted at K 2013 was the debut of the ZSK 26 Mc18 twin screw laboratory extruder with 26 mm screw diameter. This new extruder offers all the advantages of the ZSK Mc18 series; it has a simple design, it is operator-friendly and easy to clean. It is suitable for the development of formulations, for conducting sample compound trials and for the production of relatively small batches with up to approximately 180 kg/h.

Compared to its predecessor, the ZSK 26 Mc, this newly developed laboratory extruder of the ZSK Mc18 series is capable of an increase in throughput of up to 100%, as the specific torque has been increased to 15 Nm/cm3, and is more energy efficient thanks to the reduced specific energy input. The increased filling degree and the lower melt temperatures ensure extremely gentle compounding. The new ZSK 26 Mc18 is a mobile unit and requires only a minimum of floor space, as the control cabinet is integrated into the base frame of the machine. Heating and cooling are installed ready for use.

“Since we introduced the ZSK series three years ago, we looked back at successful years of selling this machine to our customers who siginified their satisfaction,” according to Mr.Peter von Hoffmann, General Manager of Business Unit Compounding Machines Engineering Plastics & Special Applications. He added that the series has exceed the company’s expectations. “With this machine, we were able to reduce the energy input and manage the temperature leading to improvement in product quality and reliability of operation,” he stressed.
