Treffert starts operation of three new ZSK twin screw extruders

Looking back on ten successful years with Coperion
Stuttgart, June 2011. - Only a few days ago, Treffert GmbH & Co. KG, Bingen/Germany, received three new ZSK MEGAcompounders with 26 mm screw diameter from Coperion GmbH, Stuttgart/Germany, formerly Werner & Pfleiderer, and has already commissioned them. With these latest additions to its production set-up, Treffert now operates a total of 22 ZSK twin screw extruders for the production of masterbatch and special compounds. The three new extruders will be used for the production of high-grade pigment masterbatches for the plastics processing industry. Two of the ZSK 26 Mc extruders are destined for the pre-mix process. The third one is equipped with a ZS-B side-feeder and several gravimetric feeders for the split-feed process.
The success story began ten years ago, when Treffert developed a new strategy for modernizing and standardizing its masterbatch and compound production at its two factories in Bingen/Germany and Ste-Marie-aux-Chenes/France. The baseline of the strategy was the concrete requirement for a compounding technology that would continue to be valid for years to come. This meant that the extruders would not only have to cope with all possible processing requirements but also be flexible enough for present and future compounding applications. The targets of Treffert's strategy are quality leadership both in compounds and in additive and pigment masterbatches and market leadership as the most innovative supplier.
In the beginning, Coperion provided a ZSK rental extruder, thus enabling Treffert to thoroughly test its performance and behaviour with all relevant formulations and output rates. Peter von Hoffmann, General Manager Business Unit Compounding Systems Engineering Plastics & Special Applications, sums up the results as follows: "The ZSK twin screw extruder met Treffert's criteria in all the predefined situations. This encouraging result marked the beginning of the longstanding cooperation between our two companies."
As a specialist in the production of additive and pigment masterbatches and special compounds, Treffert must also be able to produce small and medium-sized batches economically. This requires a compounding technology with a high degree of availability and efficiency. In this regard the ZSK extruders offer specific advantages: the closely intermeshing twin screws are self-cleaning and there are no stagnant zones in the entire process section, which means that little cleaning is required when changing over from one colour to another and changeover times are therefore very fast. The excellent self-cleaning behaviour of the system is particularly important in the case of compounds destined for medical technology, an application where cleanliness and product purity have the highest priority.
The process section of the ZSK is easily accessible for maintenance and cleaning purposes. Quick-release features permit easy removal of the die head and the twin screws - only two retaining bolts have to be unscrewed. Thus it is possible for Treffert to process formulations requiring a different screw configuration with only a negligible changeover time. A further saving in time is achieved by preheating the replacement die head to operating temperature prior to installation. The removed machine parts are cleaned separately, i.e. independently of extruder operation.
One of the most important features of the ZSK extruders is the constant screw diameter ratio of Do : Di = 1.55, where 'Do' is the outer diameter and 'Di' the inner diameter of the screw. The constant screw diameter ratio permits a reliable scale-up of production parameters between all extruder sizes installed in Treffert's production facilities - from ZSK 26 to ZSK 50. But that is not all: uniform production conditions - and hence product quality - are ensured at both production sites, while the scale-up of production parameters makes for greater flexibility when it comes to selecting a machine for a particular production batch.
A further point in the ZSK's favour is the modular design of the process section, which facilitates the individual configuration to the specific requirements of every application. In the production of masterbatch with highly abrasive ingredients, wear resistance is considerably improved by the fitting of oval barrel liners manufactured from Supermet 60 PLUS. This measure guarantees the high quality of Treffert's products over the long term.
The overall modular design of the ZSK enables Treffert to configure the extruder to new formulations or changes in process-related requirements. A typical example, triggered by the ever growing need to sustain natural resources, is the use of plastics based on renewable raw materials. Executive partner Heinrich Treffert says: "Our particular priority in the future will be to develop our competence in the production of materbatches and compounds based on renewable raw materials. ZSK twin screw extruders are perfect for this area of application."
With the continuous further development of compounding technology and its process engineering know-how, Coperion has proven to be the perfect partner for Treffert - not only during the past ten years but also for many years to come. "An innovative masterbatch producer needs an innovative partner who can supply the necessary machine technology," says Heinrich Treffert, evaluating the essence of a successful cooperation from both sides.
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
