Feeding and conveying technology provider Coperion K-Tron has announced the expansion of the test center at its facility in Niederlenz, Switzerland.
This strategic move is designed to enhance the company's capabilities, particularly for tests involving materials that require containment. The expansion will allow Coperion to conduct more comprehensive and diverse testing by offering a dedicated space for R&D and customer trials.
The test center will allow customers to confirm the handling of bulk materials and to pinpoint and resolve any potential issues before commiting to a purchase. The goal of each test is to offer the customer the most suitable feeding and/or conveying equipment ensuring they feel confident in their decision for the most reliable technology available.
The addition will feature advanced containment systems for handling all types of materials, including an airlock system with filtration, ensuring the safety of both the testing process and the staff as well as the environment. This will allow the company to better serve industries such as battery, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and food processing, where containment and hygienic requirements can be a critical concern.
The new addition is expected to be completed by April 2025.
