Pelletising or compacting feed materials uses a lot of energy and increases capital and operating costs, said Coperion. The company’s answer is its ZS-B Megafeed side feeder, which can transport materi- als with a bulk density down to 20 kg/m³ into the ZSK FilCo and other ZSK extruders. This allows for recycling and compounding of lightweight, high-volume fibres and flakes at high throughputs. It showed another feeder relevant to film recycling, the MechaTron FB (flat bottom) feeder, a gravimet- ric feeder suited to high-capacity recycling opera- tions for materials including PP and PET film.


installation and operation. Up to three dosing devices can be connected to the extruder’s inlet, in addition to the material coming from the shredder. Compac Smart lines are available in a range of production capacities from 500 to 2,000 kg/hr. In an outdoor pavilion, Coperion displayed its


new ZSK FilCo filtration compounder which enables recyclate filtering and subsequent compounding in one step. To fully exploit the ZSK FilCo’s high performance, the company said raw materials must be supplied at a constant rate with no intake limits.
