The results of the FET technology are considerable increases in the throughput rate and greater cost effectiveness of the compounding plant.

The compounding plant has been in operation since August 2011.

By offering these complete solutions Coperion implements compounding plants in the shortest time possible on a fixed cost basis.

From single components to complete compounding plants - Coperion has comprehensive know-how in the implementation of systems for polyolefins, engineering plastics, masterbatches, bio plastics, LFT, PVC, HFFR, TPE or other plastics applications .

The line, which will come into operation by Q2 2016, will provide ELIX Polymers with greater flexibility to deliver a wider range of tailor-made solutions and will increase capacity on top of the current compounding line.

The raw material – containing up to 50% wood-fiber, various additives and a PO recycled material which has partly been extracted from household waste, such as shampoo bottles – will be mixed on a modular compounding plant with the ZE 130 R twin-screw extruder.

As is already the case in Europe and America, Coperion can now design and build any compounding line – conventional or modular – close to the customer.

The decision in favour of a Coperion compounding system is explained by Carsten Rüter, President Technology, Hexpol Compounding, as follows: “We were most impressed both by the thoroughness with which Coperion’s experts dealt with our production requirements and by the exactness with which they accommodated our wishes and needs.

There are a number of variables that affect the flow of this often difficult powder, and the return on investment of a plastics-compounding plant is directly impacted by the proper selection of the feeding system.

This compounding machine meets the requirements for small-volume production, and is also ideal for recipe development and research.

Tarragona, February 11, 2016 – ELIX Polymers has announced that it is to invest in a new compounding line at its Tarragona site.

In compounding or extrusion lines, which are primarily designed for high through puts, the polymer is very often worked up to the breaking point.

When the necessary pressure needed by the attached extrusion tools like nozzles, dies and pelletizers, is too high for an extruder or compounding line, then single screw discharge extruders or gear pumps are used to build-up the needed pressure.
