Coperion K-Tron conducts tests with process materials to answer critical process questions and determine the best configuration of the feeding or conveying equipment. We have developed a vast body of expertise and a wide range of feeding and conveying technology options to address the multitude of challenges that can arise for process operations involving bulk material (solid or liquid). Your equipment selection – and the success of your application – will be greatly influenced by the specific characteristics of the materials you must feed or convey, the recipe precision needed for your process and the throughput required.
