This Krupp ZSK-25 is a used co-rotating twin-screw extruder — sometimes referred to as a twin-screw compounder — built in 2000 and currently located in Barneveld, Netherlands. Twin-screw extruders of this type are used in the plastics processing industry for compounding, mixing, and the continuous extrusion of polymer materials, offering precise control over melt temperature and shear. Krupp is a well-established German industrial group with a long history of engineering heavy machinery and processing equipment for the chemical, plastics, and materials industries.
The machine carries serial number and is identified as type ZSK 25 P8 2E WLE. Its co-rotating twin screws have a diameter of 25 mm and run at a variable speed between 200 and 1,200 rpm, allowing broad flexibility in processing intensity. The screws are manufactured from nitriding steel 1.8519, a wear-resistant material well suited to demanding compounding applications. The length-to-diameter ratio is 40, which is a relatively long screw configuration that supports extended residence time and thorough mixing. The inlet diameter is 80 mm.
Processing capacity is rated at 100 kg/h. The barrel is divided into seven heating zones, giving the operator fine control over the temperature profile along the screw length. Water cooling is also fitted. Feeding is handled by a hopper combined with a metering screw unit — a Brabant-type device rated at 0.37 kW and 119 rpm, with a feed screw diameter of 35 mm — enabling controlled, measured material introduction.
The machine is supplied with its switchgear, described as present in as-is condition. The overall height is 1.6 m, and the floor footprint is 2.1 × 0.8 m, making it a relatively compact unit for a machine of this throughput capacity. The extruder is offered used, in line with its 2000 year of manufacture.
