pylene compounds for automotive parts. It will be given by P B Raman, representing Steer Engineering, the Indian-headquartered producer of twin-screw com- pounding extruders. He will look in detail at the process, benefi ts and drivers for change within this segment of the market. The opening day of the conference will conclude with
a cocktail reception providing more networking opportunities in the exhibition area.
Advances in stabilisation The second day of the Compounding World Asia conference will get underway with a session featuring two interesting papers from leaders in polymer stabilisation technology. Gregor Huber, head of BASF’s Global Competence
Center for Automotive will open this session with a presentation on the important subject of light stabilisa- tion for automotive compounds. He will be followed by Dr Baburaj Iyer, regional
technical service - India & SEA, Songwon Speciality Chemicals. His paper will review how an understanding of stabiliser interaction and access to the necessary additive building blocks can help with the design of new and improved stabilization systems for polyolefi ns.
Making the most of compounding lines The penultimate session at the conference will explore the specifi cation and optimisation of compounding lines, covering the latest twin-screw extruders and materials handling systems. Dr Thomas Winkelmann, head of department
plastics technology at the German machinery maker KraussMaffei Berstorff will address the big question of

whether torque or volume is more important in twin-screw compounding lines. Michele Fona, sales area manager for the European
materials handling systems specialist Penta, will continue the session with a talk about the wide variety of polymeric materials that today’s compounders have to handle and discuss the sustainable solutions for handling these materials. Next up will be Adam Dreiblatt, who is director of
process technology at CPM Century Extrusion which manufactures twin-screw extruders in the USA and in China via its Ruiya Extrusion subsidiary. He will focus on the different factors that have to be considered when determining the size of a twin-screw extruder to achieve a desired capacity target. Leading twin-screw extruder maker Coperion will be
represented at the conference by Manfred Wiedmann, who heads up its business unit for compounding plants, plastics processing plants and packaging lines. He will discuss highly fl exible and effi cient compounding lines for small lots and quick product changes. The session will conclude with a presentation on the
relative pros and cons of strand pelletizing lines compared with underwater pelletizing systems. It will be delivered by Klaus Arlandt, who is sales manager Asia for Maag Automatik, which has extensive experi- ence in both types of pelletizing systems, especially following its recent acquisitions of Gala and Reduction Engineering Scheer.
Improving control and monitoring The fi nal session of the conference will focus on the latest technologies for improving the control and monitoring of plastics compounding lines. It will open
