Quality improvement of conveyed products

Coperion offers a number of solutions for improving the quality of the conveyed products. Cleaning systems, sampling systems and specific plant components such as Gamma-Bends® or sifters aim at preventing or eliminating product contaminations.

Suggested solutions are the integration of sampling systems into the existing plants. Sifters and drum screens, Gamma-Bends® to avoid angel hair. Mobile HFS separators are an easy to use solution for cleaning selected product batches. Further potential is offered by the adaptation of the piping (isometry, surfaces/connection technique) and optimization of the pneumatic conveying.

Performance increase

The Coperion service experts have various solution concepts for increasing the performance of your existing systems and components. Thanks to their years of experience and extensive know-how, the service team always takes the effects on the whole system into account when modifications are developed (adaptation of blowers, air volume control, new calculation and dimensioning of piping, new pipe support concepts...).

Cleaning systems

For conveying systems to avoid product contamination or reduce accumulation of dust our service experts offer extensive cleaning programs.  The cleaning measures considerably increase the product quality especially when changing colors or when conveying very different additives and intermediate products prone to aging.

The services include washing systems for silos, mixers, sifters, pipes and components, drying systems, pipe pigs for dry cleaning, cleaning concepts for complete pipe systems, etc.

FLUIDLIFT ecoblue®

FLUIDLIFT ecoblue® is the newly developed pneumatic conveying process for plastic granules. It significantly reduces abrasion and thus the development of dust or threads, which improves product quality. It also enables plastics manufacturers and compounders to reduce energy consumption while maintaining the same or even increasing the performance. The key to this is a measured and controlled increase in the relative humidity of the conveying gas. The conversion of the system is minimal and, depending on the circumstances, can only be limited to the installation of measuring points.
