High-performance compounding extruder

Achieve precision in compounding and pelletizing with advanced extruders that ensure high-quality output while handling diverse materials, from engineering plastics to cable compounds, optimizing your production line efficiency.

Compounds and Pelletizes Plastic and Chemical Materials

The CTE PLUS series from Coperion Nanjing offers a robust twin screw extruder solution designed specifically for the needs of small to medium-sized manufacturers in the plastics and chemical industries. These systems are distinguished by their modular design and the precision engineering of Coperion Stuttgart, ensuring reliable compounding and pelletizing of diverse materials, such as engineering plastics and cable compounds.

Utilizing closely intermeshing, co-rotating twin screws, these extruders efficiently mix, degas, and form materials into a consistent high-quality output, suitable for end-products including polycarbonate sheets, thermoplastic elastomer grips, and low smoke halogen-free cables. Each model, such as the CTE 50 PLUS, balances cost with performance, offering a specific torque of 7.2 Nm/cm³ and throughput rates from 30 kg/h to 5,000 kg/h, depending on the model size.

The CTE PLUS is adaptable, featuring flexible process section configurations and readily integrates into existing production lines with its advanced control systems ranging from simple relay controls to sophisticated PCC systems for real-time line management. Each machine adheres to strict quality standards with a Factory Acceptance Test at Coperion’s Nanjing site, ensuring dependable operation and high process safety supported by new gearboxes designed for longevity and performance. Ideal for compounding processes requiring precise formulation, this series provides significant energy efficiencies and can be tailored with TÜV CE certification for validated operations.
