Coperion's Peter von Hoffmann on the one extruder that handles every polymer:

"Modularity is a genuine advantage"

As recyclers juggle shorter runs, mixed feedstocks and tighter food-contact rules, extrusion equipment is under pressure to do more without losing quality. Peter von Hoffmann, General Manager, Business Unit Compounding Machines Engineering Plastics and Special Applications at Coperion, argues that the twin-screw extruder already resolves that tension — its strength lies not in any single setup, but in how fast it can be reconfigured for the next material.
