BUSS PCS Co-Kneaders
The specialist for powder coatings & thermosets
BUSS compounding technology developed further for optimized performance
The PCS is a further development of the classical BUSS Co-Kneader, specifically for the use of powder coatings and thermosets. While it retains the proven operating principles of the BUSS Co-Kneader, the process section in particular has been developed for the requirements of modern formulations.
The extended BUSS Co-Kneader series PCS sets benchmarks for profitability, availability and user-friendly handling. Its extended process length and increased screw speed enable optimum quality powder coating formulations with the same configuration, simply by adjusting the process parameters.
BUSS PCS Co-Kneaders are also highly suitable for processing thermosets. In order to exploit the superlative qualities of EMC, compounding systems must ensure excellent dispersion of the high filler content at low and perfectly controlled temperatures.
BUSS compounding technology has routinely met these high requirements for 60 years and is equally ideal for epoxy-based, phenol-based, polyester-based, melamine and urea-based resin molding compounds.
Our long-standing experience enables the optimum selection of the materials in order to minimize machine downtimes and maintenance work.
