OTP – Optimized Temperature Pelletizing
The OTP process ensures a void free pellet production. Considering the physical parameter of a polymer, the thermal control scheme during pellet formation and conditioning must avoid internal tension generating. Temperature profiles for the cooling liquid (e.g. water) above atmospheric boiling point require therefore pressurized systems. The equipment is operating continuously and stable, including an integrated depressurizing step. Pellets produced by such a thermal controlled process are less brittle and generate less dust. The absence of voids is ensuring cleaner products with very low impurity level, a basic requirement for polymers used in optical applications or several electrical and other technical applications.

STS 75 Mc11 Twin Screw Extruder
With its specific torque of 11.3 Nm/cm3 the STS Mc11 sets new standards: it features up to 27% higher throughput rates than the preceding model, while the higher degree of screw fill results in a decrease of melt temperature, thus improving compound quality. It incorporates the full process and quality know-how of Coperion. The new STS Mc11 series is exclusively equipped with European, Coperion branded gearboxes. Maximum screw speed has been increased from 800 to 900 rpm. To improve cleaning and facilitate quick changovers for masterbatch applications, the STS also features new hoppers with inserts and a redesigned die head. The screw shaft coupling is similar to the one long proven in the ZSK Mc18 series. The new, optimized base frame withstands torsion under maximum stress. The STS Mc11 series covers most standard applications in process technology. It offers high productivity at an attractive price-performance ratio. Production of the STS Mc11 is in Nanjing, China, in compliance with CE directives. The result: A high-performance compounding system with low investment costs which ensures a fast return on investment.

HDPE Three Layer Pipe Extrusion Line
In recent years, the large-diameter pipe extrusion line, especially in the large-diameter multi-layers composite pipe extrusion equipment is the weakness design in domestic plastic extrusion market, lower capacity, high energy consumption, low automationcontrol system and accuracy, complex operation the main case was the perfect pipe in low and not bring high profit for all customers,At the same time ,the energy saving policy discrepancy.Thus, the NEW market required low-power, high-capacity, high precisioncontrolled, easy to operation, intelligent controlled of the large diameter multi-layerscomposite polyethylene pipe extrusion line tothe domestic demand for pipe supplier Plant urgently. In view of the above circumstances, BEIER Machinery organized R & D personnel conducted an investigation both of the national and international markets, to learn the international advanced extrusion on the basis of further innovation and integration advantages of national products, incorporated with the design and development of scientific and technical for many years experience, successfully developed large caliber intelligent multi-layer polyethylene pipe production line. And access: invention patent (No. 2012101859352), utility model patents 7 (No.:2010205699768,2011202026737, 2010205719193,2010205699908,2011202026845,2010205699698、2010205699630). All the completed extrusion line controlledby PLC, Worker to Machine interface dialogue, to achieved the main extruder ,co-extruder, and haul off in synchronous speed, thus, the operation is extremely simple design. For example, as long as the pipe weight per meter input PLC panel, then transferred to the main extruder to desired speeddirectly, and the co-extruder and haul off will appropriated the speed up to the requirements of gravimetric meter automatically This operation extremely simple as true called "stupid machine."

Steel Reinforced Corrugated Pipe Production Line
Large diameter steel reinforced polyethylene corrugated pipe is developed by Goldstone based on the normal polyethylene spiral corrugated pipe. The pipe is researched by Goldstone independently and owned the patents for the pipe also the making machine. Reinforced by high strength steel belt, and a special material and coating is applied to give the solution of steel anti-corrosive. The diameter of the pipe is from 300 mm(12inch) to 3200 mm(126inch). The obvious advantage of the new composite pipe is the high stiffness and low cost if compared with the universal buried plastic sewage pipe. The ring stiffness reached SN8(63PSI) to SN16(126PSI), which is a surprise value for other plastic pipes. This pipe meets ASTM 2435-12 standard and Israel, Italian standard, Chinese national standard etc, and widely used in Beijing Olympics, Sochi Winter Olympics etc. Alphabounce Instinct

iQ Weight Control – With Correction of Holding Pressure
To achieve producing moulded parts of a consistently high quality shot by shot,the iQ weight control software analyses the pressure profile at the screw position in real time during the injection process and compares the measured values with a reference cycle online. Based on these results, the switchover point and the injection profile are adapted to the current conditions which keeps the injected volume constant during the entire production run. Thus the effects of fluctuations in viscosity on the filling of the mould, especially in applications with switchover points that depend on the injection pressure, can also be compensated.
