maintenance. As soon as the screw shafts come to a complete stop, the door can be opened without tools and the screw shaft coupling is immediately accessible. Coperion’s engineers have also rede- signed the unit’s base frame. The cable routing has been optimised to keep the floor around the extruder free of clutter and easier to clean, and supply lines have
machines, from the ZE 42 up to the ZE 186, making it a bridge between laboratory research, pilot-scale testing, and full-scale production.
Cartridge heaters Coperion has updated its ZSK 18 MEGAlab laboratory extruder and equipped it with several new functions that provide significantly greater flexibility and safety in handling. Pluggable cartridge heaters instead of hard-wired ones now allow for rapid barrel reconfiguration as well as straightforward cartridge heater exchange. They are individually connected using IP67 plugs, and can be easily removed for maintenance and barrel reconfiguration without the need of an electrician. An electrically securable maintenance door on
the gearbox lantern increases operational safety and at the same time provides quick access, reducing downtimes for screw changes and system
been centrally connected to the rear of the machine and distributed inside the base frame so any possible impediments are reduced to a minimum. The vacuum pump and cooling unit have also been integrated into the base frame and feeders can be placed on a newly-developed feeding platform which allows up to four to be arranged with maximum flexibility. The new feeding platform, which can be moved
laterally along the machine, allows the feeders to be rotated and raised or lowered as needed. This feature creates advantages, particularly in the areas of research or recipe development, since feeding can be located flexibly at various points in accord- ance with the process requirements.
