CHALLENGES IN POWDER COATING PRODUCTION

The trend in powder coatings production is towards smaller batch sizes and high product quality to better respond to customer expectations. That’s putting pressure on manufacturers to keep their equipment running at peak performance while at the same time improving efficiency and reducing cost in their production processes.

The materials being handled – epoxy, polyester, acrylic and hybrid powders – can be challenging. Many of these materials are temperature-sensitive, requiring processes that can deliver high throughput without adding excess heat. Prevention of buildup within the machinery as well as ease of cleaning are essential to reduce the need for maintenance and spare parts.

Coperion powder processing solutions are optimized for this operating environment. All of our equipment is designed for ease of access for cleaning and maintenance. This, along with efficient, low-buildup material handling and dust control speeds changeover to maintain operational efficiency. Our integrated control systems also make it easy to quickly and accurately adjust process parameters for optimum quality while minimizing the need for human intervention.

TWIN SCREW EXTRUDERS FOR POWDER COATING PRODUCTION

EXTRUDERS

Coperion offers ZSK twin screw extruders with closed process sections in individual lengths while Baker Perkins provides extruders with clam shell process sections. 

All twin screw extruders offer high specific torque, making it possible to process ingredients reliably and very gently to produce powder coatings of very high quality at high throughputs. The extruder portfolio covers everything from small laboratory extruders to big production lines. 

Coperion Twin Screw Extruder ZSK Mv PLUS for Powder Coating

ZSK Mv PLUS EXTRUDERS

Due to their excellent mixing behavior and the gentle product handling ZSK Mv PLUS extruders are characterized by absolutely homogeneous distribution of the paint components in the powder.

Premixed raw materials are fed into the ZSK and are processed very gentle and extremely flexible. The screw speed, residence time and throughput rate can be adapted quickly and individually to your requirements. Processing of high percentage of fines is possible with optimized process set-up.

Advantages

  • Very high throughput rates
  • Maximum productivity
  • High flexibility in speed, residence time and throughput rate
  • Short cleaning times
  • Very good feeding of fines due to high-end feeding technology and deep flights of the extruder twin screws
  • Gentle handling of the product
