It is precisely for this reason that the largest room in Coperion’s new test center is equipped with state-of-the-art technology for scale-up and development trials for customers in the polyolefin industry.

Virtually all polyolefin applications can be simulated. The widest diversity of requirements can be met by ZSK extruders, equipped either with or without gear pump, and a two-stage ZSK NT for particularly difficult extrusion applications.

Integrated into the test center is a food-processing area specially equipped for extrusion trials with foodstuffs.

A unique test center network for compounding applications

Besides the new test center in Stuttgart, Coperion also has two other compounding test centers. One of them is located in Ramsey, NJ/USA, and is equipped with several ZSK extruders, including two ZSK Mc18 extruders, for customer trials.

The newly built test center in Nanjing/China is equipped with two STS compounders. The company also operates the world’s largest bulk material test center in Weingarten/Germany. This test center network is the only one in the world which covers the entire process chain for the compounding of plastics.
