The large field of plastics processing
SKZ offers a wide range of research activities on different plastics processing technologies
2/3 of the total turnover in the plastics industry is generated by its processing and is therefore subject to rapid technical development. These developments are characterized by improved control and regulation technology as well as automated processes and the call from industry, society and politics to process materials in an economical and environmentally friendly way.
This makes it all the more important to keep pace with developments, to identify trends at an early stage and to set new scientific and technical standards. SKZ is a leading research institute in the field of plastics processing in Germany, covering the entire value chain of production. Our goal is to ensure a high and reproducible quality and to pass on our knowledge to industry in the best possible way.
The properties of polymers are adapted to the requirements of the end product by compounding. In this area, the focus of our research activities is on process engineering for continuous thermoplastic processing. As part of research projects, we work independently or in cooperation with industrial partners on solutions that aim to optimize the entire process chain.
The extensive technical equipment available at SKZ is unique in Germany. We can use it to map all production processes in a practical way and provide timely answers to questions from industry. The production of technical parts requires reproducible product quality parameters and thus reproducible processes and material properties at reasonable costs.
In the field of plastics processing, we can draw on many years of expertise in extrusion and injection molding as well as in fiber composite technology and blow molding and thermoforming. The SKZ is an important partner for research and industry when it comes to questions of plant engineering, process and component optimization, and quality assurance.
Our experts in the fields of adhesive bonding and welding, as well as dispersing and surface technology, offer innovative solutions and support in solving problems in further processing. With the most modern equipment, we map all marketable and future-oriented processes.
Excellence can also be found in our Center for Additive Production. Additive manufacturing is certainly one of the most modern and future-oriented manufacturing processes. Our colleagues will be happy to help you find the right solution and innovation for your company.
All this makes SKZ a competent, independent and neutral partner for the most diverse technologies in plastics processing.
