| Preparing engineering plastics |  |  |
The ZSK twin-screw, co-rotating compounders from Coperion Werner & Pfleiderer are the most widely-used screw compounders in the world for the production of engineering plastic.
Engineering plastics are indispensable nowadays in the construction of vehicles and machinery, in energy technology and domestic technology etc., on account of their high mechanical strength, stiffness, resistance to thermal stress and their high electrical insulation properties.
| To give just a few examples of applications: | | |
| - | | Ski boots |
| - | | Camshaft gearwheels |
| - | | Coverings on toothed belts |
| - | | Engine coverings |
| - | | Oil sumps |
| - | | Cylinder head covers |
| - | | Bearings |
| - | | Gearwheels |
| - | | Seals |
| - | | Lamp bases |
| - | | Dowels |
| - | | PC cases |
| - | | Housings for domestic devices, etc. |
ZSK compounders are the optimal solution for all types of manufacturing of engineering plastics – from simple coloring and alloying of basis polymers to incorporating organic and inorganic fillers and reinforcing materials.
| The 3 processes in preparing engineering plastics | | |
|
Alloying, coloring, incorporating additives in powder form
