Coperion delivers compounding plants to BASF in South Korea

Reliable partner for compounding plants

For a new compounding plant in South Korea, BASF relied once again on Coperion’s expertise: In September of 2015, the plant was handed over within the contractually agreed timeframe. Since then, BASF has been successfully processing polyamides of the highest quality.

Planning and implementation of the entire plant, all under one roof

Coperion delivered the entire production facility to BASF. The project scope included planning, assembly and start-up as well as verification of guaranteed performance data under production conditions. Moreover, the scope of supply and performance included all equipment and structures to be installed. The entire utility supply was also included in the scope of the project, encompassing not only electricity, but also compressed air, exhaust air purification and pelletizing water circulation, including cooling. All applicable standards and legal regulations for the construction and operation of compounding facilities in South Korea were observed throughout the project.

High-performance ZSK twin screw extruder for polyamide production

Throughout the compounding plant, proven Coperion processes and components are used for energy-efficient conveying of raw materials. New to this plant is the use of high-precision Coperion K-Tron feeders. These ensure continuous precise feeding of raw materials according to a predetermined formula into the heart of each line – the high-performance ZSK twin screw extruder. Following subsequent pelletization and drying, the finished product is carefully transported to the product silos. From there, the pellets are fed into the fully automated IBP 250 FFS bagging and palletizing system, which handles weighing, filling, marking, testing, and palletizing processes in a single unit. During the planning of the facility, careful attention was paid to ensure that all steps in the process were optimally coordinated.

Coperion as a reliable global partner — global network with optimal utilization of local resources

Coperion established a specialized team ten years ago for just such projects. The team is composed of specialists from several international company locations who complement each other in process and plant planning, project management, and coordination of the assembly as well as the start-up. Using this global network ensures that the best possible solutions are realized – always taking local circumstances and opportunities into account – for clients at every location around the globe.
