Coperion has completely revised its ZSK Mv PLUS twin screw extruder so it meets the highest standards of hygiene and represents an improvement in both product safety and production safety.
The core feature of the redesign is the twin screw extruder’s open-base frame. It is made of stainless steel and has only smooth surfaces. Its easy accessibility reduces the effort needed for cleaning the system, so product safety and production safety are both improved. The downtime required for cleaning the machine is reduced to a minimum.
The centric pelletiser ZGF is also made of stainless steel. This includes both the pelletiser unit itself and the drive. There is no need for the cooling fins of a conventional air-cooled motor, which also reduces the cleaning effort.
Plant operators will benefit from the CSPro control system. It is based on the latest Siemens PLC S7-1500 components and, due to the integrated OPC UA interface and web interface, provides for direct access to all the plant’s relevant data. The control system also complies with all Industry 4.0 standards.
Featuring durable components, the twin screw extruder is suitable for a range of users, from cereal producers to manufacturers of textured meat analogues.
The performance data of the twin screw extruder is based on a Do/Di value of 1.8 (outer to inner screw diameter). Its specific torque is 11.3 Nm/cm3 and the maximum screw speed is 1800 rpm.
