ZSK MEGAvolume Compounding with large screw channel volume • MEGAcompounder with high torque • Introduced at K‘ 1995 • MEGAvolumewith large screw volume • Introduced at K‘ 2001 • represents a second ZSK series
ZSK MEGAvolume Compounding with large screw channel volume • MEGAvolumewith large volume • for products with low bulk density • for processes with low specific energy input (< 0.1 kWh/kg)
Characteristic dimensions ofco-rotating twin-screws 2-flighted profile Diameter ratio:OD / ID Specific torque:Md / a3 OD OD = Outer screw diameter ID= Inner screw diameter a = Center distance ID a Weller, 8.1.2002
Development of the ZSK Balanced ratio of free volume and torque ZSK Standard OD/ ID= 1.25 ZSK-Variable OD/ ID= 1.44 Torque Free volume ZSK Super Compounder ZSK MEGA Compounder OD/ ID= 1.55 OD/ID Free volume and permissible torque as a function OD/ID CONTINUA OD/ ID= 1.71 Weller, 8.1.2002

ZSK Mv (MEGAvolume) • Higher Volumes through Expansion of the Barrel Bores • and Deeper Cut Screw Flights MEGAcompounderDa / Di = 1,55 MEGAvolumeDa / Di = 1,8 Di Da
ZSK Mv (MEGAvolume) • Progression of Free Volume
ZSK Mv (MEGAvolume) • Application Examples • Experiences with Process Technology and Production • Processing of Highly Filled Compounds- Increase of throughput up to 50% with the same RPM- Increase of filler (SiO2) from 15% to 20% • Production of Powder Coatings- 60% higher discharge efficiency- Possibility of feeding higher rates of fines • Food Extrusion- 60% more throughput in the production of pet foods
