RESEARCH COMPOUNDER FOR PRODUCTION OF BIOPOLYMERS AND THEIR COMPOUNDS

摘要

A customised KraussMaffei Berstorff compounding extruder has been installed at Belgian research center Materia Nova in Mons for research and development of biodegradable plastics. Scientists in Mons are researching not only production of biopolymers, but also their processing to compounds. The ZE A 60 UTX twin-screw extruder will be used for research in both these areas and for contract research for customers. It has an output for polymerisation of between 30 and 60 kg/h, while in compounding mode output can reach 300 kg/h.
