Highly economical process and technology solution for recycling PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate). It will thermally convert PMMA into liquid rMMA in a continuous process. Coperion is supplying a complete system for the chemical recycling of PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) to Renov8, a subsidiary of just right® based in JAFZA, Dubai, one of the leading manufacturers in plastics processing and manufacturing, specializing in sustainable solutions. The Coperion system for the chemical recycling of PMMA will be installed at the KEZAD Polymers Park in Abu Dhabi, which is among the most popular vertically integrated Polymers downstream manufacturing eco-systems in the region. It will thermally convert PMMA into liquid rMMA in a continuous process. The system includes material handling, two ARW discharge agitators with discharge screws and two Smart Weigh Belt (SWB) feeders, as well as a ZSK 92 Mc18 twin screw extruder with 92 mm screw diameter, a vacuum system and a condenser. Key components of the system are produced in-house by Coperion. Nilesh Jain, founder of Renov8, visited Coperion at its booth 14/B19 at K 2022 to sign the contract.

Construction of a new state-of-the-art test laboratory for plastics recycling applications. Forward-looking investment for more sustainability in plastics recycling. Coperion GmbH has initiated the construction of a state-of-the-art recycling test lab at its Niederbiegen/Weingarten, Germany, production facility. The new Coperion Recycling Innovation Center will be built in the immediate vicinity of Coperion’s existing Test Center for Bulk Solids Handling. Driven by rising demands worldwide for a circular plastics economy, a clear trend has taken shape over the last years toward more recycling. Coperion is meeting this trend, not only with its equipment and processes designed for recycling applications, but also with its new Recycling Innovation Center. At the facility, customers will be able to develop and test new, sustainable products and recycling processes together with Coperion’s experts. All essential recycling process stages will be covered within the facility including materials conveying, feeding, extrusion, pelletizing, and materials postprocessing. In addition, Coperion will conduct its own research activities

Coperion K-Tron is proud to announce the expansion of the original ProRate™ feeder portfolio with a completely new and cost-effective feeder line called ProRate PLUS. Answering the call from the marketplace for a robust and reliable feeder for simple feeding applications in the plastics industry, Coperion K-Tron developed a completely new feeder line built on 100 years of feeding experience. Economical solution, quick ROI The ProRate PLUS continuous gravimetric feeder line is an economical solution and offers a quick return on investment due to its good price-performance ratio and fast delivery times. It was designed with the specific requirements of the plastics processing industry in mind. These single screw feeders are ideal for the feeding of pellets, granules and other free-flowing bulk materials in secondary plastics applications. ProRate PLUS feeders are available in three sizes and can be installed as individual units or easily arranged in cluster of up to six feeders around a process inlet, depending on the recipe formulation. Compact, space-saving The ProRate PLUS feeder line features a unique design which allows

Research into new Industry 4.0 solutions for the production of lithium-ion batteries, Coperion as a research partner of the Technical University of Braunschweig As a project partner, Coperion GmbH, Stuttgart, supports the Technical University of Braunschweig in the research of smart production solutions in the extrusion of battery compounds. The overriding aim of the "DaLion 4.0" project (data mining in the production of lithium-ion battery cells) is to develop new Industry 4.0 approaches for the production of lithium-ion batteries and to use the findings for more efficient and more effective manufacturing. To this end, concepts for cyber-physical production systems are being developed and integrated into the production of battery cells. Continuous production with Coperion twin screw extruders The research project is divided into various areas of activity and is supported by several industrial partners. One key aspect of this research is the investigation and conversion of the mixing process of the electrode slurry from a batch process to continuous extrusion. The continuous extrusion process using a twin screw extruder
