Tailored solutions for polyolefin manufacturing

Whether it is a matter of continuously stabilizing, homogenizing and pelletizing LLDPE, HDPE or PP powder or concentrating a melt solution, we have unique know-how and an extraordinary wealth of experience in providing high-performance compounding systems as well as bulk material handling plants for the polyolefin industry. From additive handling and feeding, extrusion and devolatilization, to pelletizing and material handling – we adapt every process step exactly to your application so that you benefit from maximum throughput rates with the highest product quality.

Some typical areas of application

  • Compounding and pelletizing of polyolefin powders
  • Pelletizing of polymer melts and elastomers
  • Discharge of LCPE/EVA from LPS
  • Devolatilization of polymer and rubber solutions
  • Processing of bimodal polyethylene
  • Additive unloading and feeding

Production capacities

PP Throughput rates up to approx. 100 t/h
LLDPE Throughput rates up to approx. 125 t/h
HDPE Throughput rates up to approx. 135 t/h
LDPE Throughput rates up to approx. 80 t/h

 

Coperion - Energy Savings in Polyolefin Production

Energy Savings in Polyolefin Manufacturing

Polyolefin production faces two key challenges: rising energy costs and the need for carbon footprint reduction. By modernizing your plant with retrofitted state-of-the-art solutions, you can reduce energy use, increase sustainability and cut carbon emissions.
