Coperion's twin screw extruders and vibratory feeders are well-suited for recycling processes. The extruders allow for homogenization and devolatilization of recyclates during processing. The feeders gently feed friable recycled products into the system. The document also briefly outlines different types of waste and recycling methods, including mechanical and chemical recycling.

1. Processing of recycled pellets in order
to transform them into higher-value
compounds.
Coperion's ZSK Mc¹⁸ twin screw
extruders are highly suitable for recycling
processes as within the process section
homogenization and devolatilization of
recyclates take place with
highest intensity.
The highly accurate Coperion K-Tron K3
Vibratory Feeder is especially suited for
gentle gravimetric feeding of friable
products.
