Compounding plant successfully commissioned in South Korea
Coperion, Stuttgart, Germany, has during the past decade delivered, installed and launched several compounding plants for BASF to manufacture engineering plastics. For a new compounding plant in South Korea, BASF relied once again on Coperion’s expertise; in September 2015, the plant was handed over within the contractually agreed timeframe. Since then, BASF has been successfully processing polyamides of the highest quality. Coperion delivered the entire production facility to BASF. The project scope included planning, assembly and start-up as well as verification of guaranteed performance data under production conditions. Moreover, the scope of supply and performance included all equipment and structures to be installed.
Proven Coperion processes and components are used for energy-efficient conveying of raw materials. New to this plant is the use of high-precision Coperion K-Tron feeders. These ensure continuous precise feeding of raw materials according to a predetermined formula into the heart of each line – the high-performance ZSK twin screw extruder. Following subsequent pelletisation and drying, the finished product is carefully transported to silo storage. From there, the pellets are fed into the fully automated IBP 250 FFS bagging and palletising system, which handles weighing, filling, marking, testing, and palletising processes in a single unit. www.coperion.com
