Color Masterbatch Production - How to Achieve the Best Price-Performance Ratio
Color masterbatches are solid concentrated color additives that are commonly used in many plastics processes. If their quality is right, they are reliable, easy to handle, and usually more cost-effective than applying raw pigments. To achieve high-value masterbatches while keeping manufacturing costs manageable, Coperion has composed a complete and field-proven solution with a good price-performance ratio. This comprehensive package consists of an STS compounder, S60 volumetric feeder as well as an SP 50 EN strand pelletizer.

Dense Phase Conveying with Conti-Schub®
While dilute phase conveying can be used for a wide variety of materials, its counterpart, the dense phase conveying method, is typically the preferred choice when handling sensitive bulk solids. Plastic pellets such as Polyolefine Elastomere, Polyethylen Resins or Polycarbonate require a gentle handling. Conti-Schub® is, along with the INTACON® control unit the optimal solution for those kinds of materials.
