Combined with the already well-known characteristics of its ZSK pharma extruders, Coperion has equipped the ZSK 26 with some new developments. Like the ZSK 18, the ZSK 26 pharma extruder’s process section is designed to be free hanging. Thanks to this new design, the product contact parts are optimally accessible from all sides, greatly simplifying machine dismantling and cleaning. The dual-cycle cooling system, which safeguards cooling of both the process section as well as the motor by using water, has now been fully integrated into the extruder’s base frame.

Maximum screw speed: 1400 rotations per minute

30 kw, 2650 rpm ac motor
