The corrugated PVC liner panels allow efficient

roofing and cladding of several structures, thus re-

presenting an optimal solution for outdoor applicati-

ons. Actually, the panels have a surface easy to

clean/sanitize and an excellent resistance to chemi-

cals as well as to marking and scratching.

Further, the PVC is non-flammable, rustproof and

easy to maintain. The corrugated PVC sheet produced

with AMUT lines can have different geometries and a

thickness range from 0.8 up to 2.0 mm.

The extruders are twinscrew type, series BA. These

extruders are suitable to work with special raw ma-

terials and additives giving UV and weather conditi-

ons resistance properties to the sheet.

A horizontal flat die, a calibrating system, a haul-off

unit equipped with 3 pairs of rolls and a cutting unit,

guillotine type, compose the downstream of the line.

Coperion GmbH, a subsidiary of Hillenbrand, Inc. (NYSE: HI), has successfully realigned and relocated their North American ope-

rations from Ramsey, New Jersey, to their other facilities located in Pitman, New Jersey, Wytheville, Virginia and Houston, Texas. This

realignment was implemented over an 18 month period of time from June 2014 until November 2015. Personnel moves have been

completed and staff has moved to their new locations. The facilities in Pitman and Wytheville have gone through alterations and

have increased space to accommodate the additional functions transferred to each location. The Wytheville plant has added an ad-

ditional 52,000

man location has undergone an extensive reconstruction and now houses Coperion’s U.S. extrusion test lab, process technology,

engineering, sales, customer service,

and support functions in addition to

the already existing Coperion K-Tron

feeding technology business.

Coperion customers should expect

order processing, equipment inspec-

tions and demonstrations, and ex-

truder testing to be scheduled

through the facility in Pitman, New

Jersey. The facilities in Wytheville,

Virginia, are used for manufacturing

purposes including machine and ge-

arbox refurbishing, assembly, factory

acceptance tests and shipping, while

Coperion’s Houston, Texas office

continues to support sales, service
