Hijyen ve Uyumluluğun Geliştirilmesi

Sometimes the best and most cost-effective solution is not the one initially anticipated. The engineers at Angst+Pfister aim to find design approaches in dialogue with their customers that tackle multiple issues at once – and whenever possible produce a lower price solution. For example, a new silicone cover for Coperion’s vibratory feeders simultaneously resulted in a more efficient cleaning cycle for their customers that minimises potentially serious hygiene risks.

The German company Coperion operates worldwide and has a manufacturing base in Switzerland. Coperion makes extruders for the plastics and food-processing industries and provides end-to-end material handling solutions. Its subsidiary, Coperion K-Tron, in turn, specialises in process feeding and pneumatic conveying. In addition to the plastics and food-processing industries these systems have applications in pharmaceutical companies. The product range includes vibratory feeders, “These feeders are designed for high-precision dosing of free-flowing dry bulk - for example, for extruders,” explains Coperion engineer Urs Helfenstein.
