For a short time Kunststofftechnik Paderborn has a fully automated bonding unit at it´s disposal. The unit is equipped with a conditioning cell and possesses a freely programmable CNC control unit. Furthermore a handling and clamping unit with definable pressure plus an automatic needle measurement are integrated. A highly precise gear pump unit to use for 1 component adhesives as well as a piston metering unit for 2 component adhesives enable exact metering and bonding with repeated accuracy. Piston metering unit and mixing tube can be heated up if necessary.

From May 1-5, 2011 about 2000 polymer engineers from all over the world presented their projects at the "ANTEC 2011" in Boston, USA. Among them were Prof. Dr.-Ing. Elmar Moritzer, Agnes Bagsik, Martin Schäfers, Christian Leister and André Korsmeier, KTP, Polymer Engineering Paderborn.

"Our staff are our best assets"

At the meeting of the network "Kunststoffe in OWL" about 100 polymer experts met at the Coko-Werk GmbH & Co. KG in Bad Salzuflen. COE Klaus-Wilhelm Dreskrüger told about innovations at the Bad Salzuflen site as well as in Poland and in Turkey. In Cerkezköy, near Istanbul, Coko started the production in its own factory building at the beginning of this year. 3.200 dish washers leave the production line every day. In Lodz, Poland, Coko manufactures technical polymer parts with about 250 employees in three shifts. Here too the activities are expanded with a second enameling line. In addition to that Coko plans to build a further production hall. Dreskrüger: "The competition in Poland and in Turkey is fierce and should be taken seriously. Many challenges await us in those two countries."

As part of the “Forum Maschinenbau Universität Paderborn” Prof. Dr.-Ing. Elmar Moritzer gives his inaugural lecture: “Polymer technology – yesterday, today, and tomorrow” on March 31st

Employees of Polymer Engineering Paderborn (KTP) presented die smallest blow film line in the world at the career fair in Rietberg. They also informed interested pupils about details concerning the study in engineering, subject polymer engineering.
