Extrusion International USA 6-2021

10 Extrusion International 6/2021 INDUSTRY NEWS Expansion of Cooperation „ Brückner Maschinenbau has placed an order with Cope- rion for more than 50 ZSK Mc18 twin screw extruders. These will be integrated into plants for the production of fl exible BOPET packaging fi lms, which Brückner will install in China. The ZSK extruders have screw diameters ranging from 70 to 177 mm. Brückner Maschinenbau’s substantial repeat order is based on many years of close cooperation with Coperion. With this order, Brückner is once again putting their trust in proven Coperion technology, which the company has already inte- grated into numerous fi lm stretching lines. The ZSK extruders are used to melt the compounds that are fed into the lines. Thanks to their high torque, Coperion’s ZSK Mc18 extruders achieve very high throughput rates while maintaining low product temperatures and thus ensuring fi rst-class product quality. “We are very pleased that Brückner Maschinenbau is once again relying on our technology and know-how,”says Jochen Schofer, Business Segment Manager Recycling &Di- rect Extrusion at Coperion. “We very much appreciate this familiar, long-standing cooperation with the pioneer for plastic fi lm lines. Our companies pursue very similar aspira- tions. We both develop high-quality technologies for plastics production with very high throughput rates. The ef fi cient use of resources and high recyclability of the end products are important to us.” Coperion GmbH www.coperion.com Brückner Maschinenbau www.brueckner-maschinenbau.com „ The unique concept of presenting all renewablematerial so- lutions at one event hits the mark: bio-based, CO 2 -based and recycled are the only alternatives to fossil-based chemicals and materials. Ready-to-use fossil-free sustainable material solutions with a low carbon footprint are in fast-growing demand. Innovative brand owners are keeping an eye out for such solutions, in particular those that will soon reach the mainstream. For the second time, nova-Institute presents numerousmarket highlights frombio- and CO 2 -based chemicals andmaterials as well as from chemical recycling: All material solutions based on renewable carbon. Together, there is suf fi cient potential to completely replace petrochemicals by 2050. To tackle cli- mate change at its roots, all additional fossil carbon from the groundmust be substitutedwith renewable alternatives. Over the course of three days, participants will get a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in the renewable materi- al sector, with a focus on industry-ready solutions from a wide spectrum of sustainable rawmaterials and technologies. Innovation Award “Renew- able Material of the Year 2022”: To showcase the vast spectrum of renewable materials, the innovation award “Renewable Mate- rial of the Year 2022” will be chosen and awarded during the conference.
