All Coperion twin screw extruder series offer a very high specific torque. The CTE PLUS has a specific torque of 7.2 Nm/cm³, and the specific torque of the STS Mc PLUS reaches 13.6 Nm/cm³. With its 18 Nm/cm³ torque, the ZSK Mc¹⁸ is the most powerful Coperion twin screw extruder, achieving highest throughputs. 

The gearbox lantern can be optionally equipped with an electronically secured maintenance opening. As soon as the screw shafts come to a complete stop, service personnel can open the gearbox lantern without tools, guaranteeing secure, easier access to the screw shaft coupling during maintenance.

Coperion twin screw extruders have a consistent diameter ratio D_o/D_i across all machine sizes of a series, ensuring comparable process conditions at every scale.

Coperion twin screw extruders provide optimum free volume and low shearing stresses – with absolute mechanical safety and reliability. You benefit from the highest throughputs, maximum product quality, and a reliable scale-up.

Revolutionary material solutions for extraordinarily long operating times, as well as a selection of new screw configurations, provide the highest through puts and maximum product quality.

With the patented FET equipment, it is possible to optimize the product feed such that you benefit from the full available drive power of Coperion twin screw extruders. When processing powder bulk materials with the ZSK Mc¹⁸ using FET technology you achieve 200 to 300% throughput increases at maximum productivity, the greatest operational safety, and  the highest energy efficiency

Coperion offers control solutions that are individually modified for your requirements and that can be seamlessly integrated into your Industry 4.0 environments. The modern user interface meets the most current operating standard and, along with numerous comfortable functions and smart Industry 4.0 features, enables intuitive operation.

For side feeding of fillers and additives in powder or pellet form or cut glass fibers Coperion offers side feeding solutions for its twin screw extruder series. 

The ZS-B easy for ZSK extruders can be removed quickly from the process section, significantly reducing the time needed for screw changes, cleaning, or maintenance.

Pluggable cartridge heaters enable efficient individual tempering within the interior of each barrel. They are individually connected using IP67 plugs and can be removed for maintenance in no time, no electrician needed.

The single-part heat insulation covers are very easy to handle – they can be 
detached without removing the cartridge heaters. They insulate the process section completely. You profit from maximum energy efficiency

Using a ZS-EG for ZSK extruders achieves throughput increases of up to 30% with improved product quality. The machine’s availability and profitability are markedly increased. For cleaning and maintenance purposes the ZS-EG in easy design can be removed from the process section in shortest time.
