Coperion and Coperion K-Tron will present a variety of feeding, conveying, bulk material handling components and solutions for plastics processing at NPE 2018. Debuting for the first time will be a USA-manufactured Coperion ZRD rotary valve from Salina, KS, that will significantly shorten delivery times for bulk solids industry customers and the new MIX-A-LOT bulk material mixer for high-speed, gentle and cost-efficient homogenization of fed material. Also on display will be a Coperion K-Tron T35 volumetric twin screw feeder, shown with a Coperion STS 35 Mc11 extruder. Further exhibits include a simple but clever electronic solution for accurate and reliable pressure compensation for loss-in-weight feeders, as well as a Coperion K-Tron Smart Flow Meter for reliable metering, registering or monitoring of bulk material flows. Visitors at NPE can also see firsthand a transparent glass pipe system demonstrating various modes of pneumatic conveying and a recirculating feeding and conveying system featuring the Coperion K-Tron Bulk Solids Pump feeder combined with a 2400 Series vacuum sequencing receiver.
