The ZSK 18 MEGAlab laboratory twin screw extruder possesses the successful genes of the ZSK technology. It was developed especially for processing of smallest batch sizes. The reliable scale-up to larger ZSK twin screw extruders make it the ideal compounding system for formulation development and basic scientific research.

PVC, cable and special compounds can only be processed economically with a reliable compounding and pelletizing technology. The Kombiplast from Coperion meets this demand in all respects. Coperion designed the compounding system especially for the production of temperature and shear-sensitive plastics – so that you can benefit from highest product quality, maximum economy and flexibility.

Coperion’s twin screw extruder ZSK Mv PLUS provides ideal conditions for the extrusion of many types of food and pet food products. The process section of the ZSK twin screw extruder consists of several barrels in which the co-rotating screws operate. The closely intermeshing screws with their tight selfwiping profile eliminate stagnant zones over the whole length of the process section. The effect of this is a constantly high conveying efficiency and perfect self-cleaning.

The ZSK Mc18 high performance twin screw extruder is a superlative product. With its torque of 18 Nmcm3, it has made a name for itself on the market as a throughput champion for products with high torque requirement such as engineering plastics. The 30% increase in torque compared to the predecessor extruder model ZSK Mc PLUS leads to increases in throughput of up to 100%. Therefore the ZSK Mc18 twin screw extruder ensures production with maximum economic efficiency. The optimum priceperformance ratio, the extremely energy-efficient operation, the wide range of applications, and the associated high level of flexibility of the machine are additional advantages.
