Features overview

The modular design enables COMPEO to meet demanding and specific material requirements. The hinged process sec-tion provides easy access to all components (screw elements, liners, restriction rings, kneading pins), which can be quickly replaced without removing the casing or screw shaft. This exceptional configurability allows precise adaptation to even the most challenging process specifications while minimizing downtime and maximizing operational flexibility.

The even, moderate and defined shear input allows to minimize mechanical damage to the structure of fillers. The retained structure leads to better e.g. mechanical or conductive properties in the end product. As a result, the proportion of expensive reinforcing materials can be reduced and the costs for the formulation lowered.

The combination of configurable process design and unique operating principle enables precise temperature control, complemented by external heating and cooling systems. This prevents temperature spikes while maintaining constant, exact energy input and temperature levels. Flexible thermo-couple monitoring complements the system, allowing safe compounding of shear-sensitive and temperature-sensitive plastics with consistent quality.

They enable controlled mixing at lower temperatures with minimal energy input. The narrow shear rate distribution ensures consistent shear for every individual particle, resulting in high-quality processing with reduced energy consumption. By adhering to clearly defined temperature limits, reliable and reproducible product quality is guaranteed.
