Two-stage compounder for the production of cable compounds

Top quality PVC, cables and special compounds can only be processed economically with reliable compounding and pelletizing technology. For the Non-European market Coperion has designed a STS Mc11 two-stage compounding system specifically for the production of temperature and shear sensitive plastics. This two-stage processing system with the STS Mc11 twin screw extruder and a single discharge screw ensures both high product quality and maximum economic efficiency in the processing of PVC, cables and special compounds.

Thanks to Coperion’s high standard manufacturing know-how this two-stage compounding system ensures consistency and repeatability of product quality, high throughput rates, more rentability and flexibility.

THE ADVANTAGES OF THE STS Mc¹¹ Two-stage

Principle of the STS two-stage compounder

Coperion twin screw extruder STS working principle
  1. Feeding
  2. Plasticizing, mixing and homogenizing in the twin screw process section
  3. Open, pressureless product transfer into the single screw with the possibility of degassing
  4. Gentle discharge through single screw
  5. Air-cooling pelletizing or eccentric pelletizing – optionally available with other pelletizing methods
