MOSCOW (MRC) -- NPP POLYPLASTIC has commissioned the Saratov Plant of Polymer Materials (SZPM) for compounding engineering plastics, the company said.
After reaching full production capacity, SZPM will produce about 20,000 tons of polymer composite materials per year based on polypropylene (PP) and polyamide (PA) to replace imports of engineering plastics in the domestic market.
Two energy-efficient high-tech compounding lines based on Blue Power extruders, which were supplied to SZPM by KraussMaffei (Germany). It is noted that these are the first extruders of this class in Russia. The lines are equipped with modern equipment from leading world and domestic manufacturers: Brabender Technologie, MAAG, Moretto. The installation was carried out by the Russian company Politekhnika.
