Compounders for considerable increases in throughput

With its specific torque of 11.3 Nm/cm3 the STS Mc11 sets standards: It features maximum throughput rates while the high degree of screw fill results in a decrease of melt temperature, thus improving compound quality. It incorporates the full process and quality know-how of Coperion.

The STS Mc11 series is exclusively equipped with European, Coperion branded gearboxes. Maximum screw speed reaches 900 min-1. To improve cleaning and facilitate quick changeovers for masterbatch applications, the STS also features hoppers with inserts and a redesigned die head. The screw shaft coupling is similar to the one long proven in the ZSK Mc18 series.

The optimized base frame withstands torsion under maximum stress. The STS Mc11 series covers most standard applications in process technology. It offers high productivity at an attractive price-performance ratio. The modular design of the process section allows maximum flexibility in production at process lengths of 16 to 68 D.

Coperion STS 25 Extruder

Laboratory Extruder STS 25 Mc¹¹

The STS 25 Mc11 extruder is the laboratory extruder of the STS series. The STS 25 Mc11 delivers all the key benefits of the STS twin screw extruder while featuring a straightforward design that is easy to operate and maintain.

Its enclosed base frame provides a smooth, easy-to-clean surface and includes castors for convenient mobility and quick installation. Thanks to the consistent screw diameter ratio (Do/Di) of 1.55 and a maximum specific torque (Md/a³) of 11.3 Nm/cm³, process parameters can be accurately scaled from the STS 25 Mc11 to larger STS models. This makes the system particularly well suited for formulation development, compounding trials, and fundamental research applications.
