Coperion: Celebration of its 5-Year Anniversary – Integrated Compounding Solutions
Already an established tradition, this year’s Coperion Group Symposium will be celebrating their success story under the motto ‘Coperion celebrates its 5-year anniversary – Integrated Compounding Solutions”. Taking place on 15th and 16th November 2006
in Niederbiegen/Germany, the production site of Coperion Waeschle, the symposium will offer participants a differentiated programme of 13 technical lectures, including two lectures to be delivered by guest speakers. The symposium will be focused on the material handling and compounding of engineering plastics. Coperion is the only company on the market that unites the processing know-how and the production know-how for these technologies. Moreover, Coperion can boast the widest and longest-standing experience in these fields. The lectures will be complemented by several thematically organized information points and numerous exhibits highlighting the technological capabilities and competence of the Coperion Group, the worldwide full-service partner to the plastics industry. Despite the full programme, participants will be afforded enough time to discuss specific problems and issues with Coperion’s expert personnel. A theme common to several technical lectures will be that of complete plants based on the modular principle. These plants offer users a unique combination of advantages, for on the one hand they are planned and built exactly to the respective user’s requirements and, on the other, they feature the cost advantages and operating reliability of service-proven components and units. The technical lectures will also provide visitors with detailed information on new developments and further improvements in bulk material handling, compounding and degassing systems. Lectures devoted to the increasingly important theme of customer service will focus on services tailored to specific customer requirements, including full-service contracts, and the rapid response times made possible by the local presence of Coperion service companies.
An integral part of the symposium will be a ‘See-for-yourself presentation’: in a spacious exhibition area, visitors will be able to experience live demonstrations of all that was presented in words and pictures during the lectures. A particular highlight of the presentation will be Coperion Waeschle’s bulk material pilot plant, which is the only one of its kind worldwide. Further attractions will be a total of nine practical demonstration and information points, including an intermittent suction-type conveyor system and a modular ZSK 32 MEGAcompounder.
