Processing of toner
With Coperion you have a partner by your side who has had years of experience in the development of extrusion plants for producing toners. As a pioneer in the development of the co-rotating, intermeshing twin screw extruder we also have extensive know-how in the processing of toners and are seen as a world market leader in this field.
Toner recipes consist of resins, pigments and additives. These components are first processed in a mixer to form a premix. The premix is fed continuously into the Coperion twin screw extruder by a feeder.
The closely intermeshing, co-rotating screw shafts of the extruder pick up the product, convey and compress it and finally melt it with the kneading elements in the plasticizing zone. The individual components of the mixture are dispersed, mixed and homogenized during and after the melting process.
The processed melt is discharged vertically downwards through a nozzle in the extruder’s last barrel without pressure. The product is cooled down and broken up in a cooler as a preparation for the following grinding.
