Coperion

About Coperion

Coperion develops process machinery, components and complete systems for compounding, extrusion, feeding and bulk material handling.

The company is part of Hillenbrand and combines several specialist brands and product groups across material preparation, processing and conveying.

Products and technologies

Coperion's documented portfolio spans individual process components and integrated plants.

• Extrusion and compounding: Twin-screw and other extrusion systems prepare and compound polymers, food products, pharmaceuticals and other formulations.
• Feeding and weighing: Coperion K-Tron equipment covers volumetric and gravimetric feeding, batching and related controls.
• Bulk material handling: Pneumatic conveying, storage, separation, mixing and transfer equipment connect material receipt with downstream processing.
• Flow control: Rotary valves, diverter valves and slide gates manage discharge, routing and pressure interfaces.
• Processing systems: Complete plants combine equipment, controls and service for defined production duties.

Industries and applications

Coperion publishes applications in plastics and recycling, chemicals, batteries, food and pet food, pharmaceuticals and minerals.

Typical process roles include ingredient handling, gravimetric feeding, pneumatic transfer, compounding, extrusion and the routing or discharge of powders, granules and pellets.

Engineering and testing

Coperion describes engineering services for equipment selection, system integration and complete plant delivery, supported by material-handling and process test facilities.

Project evidence should remain configuration-specific. Feed accuracy, conveying capacity, leakage, product condition and wear life depend on the selected machine, material and operating envelope.

Technical differentiators

Coperion supplies stand-alone equipment as well as engineered systems that connect feeding and bulk material handling with downstream processing within one system architecture.

That breadth is most useful when responsibilities for controls, utilities, interfaces, commissioning and performance acceptance are defined before equipment is selected. Selection itself should start from material behavior, required rate, pressure and temperature conditions, cleaning regime, wear duty and the control boundary between components.
