3. Technology fusion: CONVERSION OF THE LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT OF COLOWE
The advanced concepts and technologies learned at Kshow are being ingeniously integrated into product innovation by the R&D team of COLOWE. The transformation of this learning is reflected in the technical aspects of the COLOWE twin screw extruder.
Intelligent control upgrading
Based on the in-depth learning of international leading enterprises, the COLOWE twin screw extruder has achieved an important breakthrough in intelligence. The new generation control system can monitor 28 key process parameters in real time, and automatically optimize the equipment operation state through algorithms, so as to improve the product quality stability by 25%.
Energy efficiency optimization and innovation
The COLOWE team has learned advanced energy efficiency management experience from its European counterparts and translated it into tangible product improvements. By optimizing the heat transfer efficiency and power distribution, the latest generation of COLOWE twin screw extruder reduces the energy consumption by 18% compared with the previous generation, creating significant economic benefits for customers.
Progress in modular design
Inspired by the world's leading enterprises, COLOWE further improved the modular architecture of its own products. Improved modularity of the COLOWE twin screw extruder results in a 40% reduction in equipment maintenance time and a 35% increase in parts commonality, significantly reducing customer operating costs.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL TRENDS: THE LEARNING AND APPLICATION OF COLOWE
The strengthening of global environmental protection policies is driving the development of twin screw extruder technology towards green direction. EU "Green New Policy" and other policies require that the proportion of recycled materials in plastic packaging shall not be less than 30% by 2030, which puts forward new technical requirements for COLOWE twin screw extruder.
Through K Show, COLOWE has translated these international environmental requirements into the direction of product development:
Biodegradable material processing capacity has become a key development direction for the COLOWE twin screw extruder. With the introduction of plastic pollution control policies in more than 50 countries around the world, the demand for processing equipment of degradable materials will increase by 31% year-on-year in 2024.
Low-volatile emissions design is an important improvement direction for COLOWE to learn from the world's leading enterprises. With an optimized exhaust system and precise process control, the COLOWE twin screw extruder reduces VOC emissions during production to 60% of conventional equipment.
The learning of renewable material treatment technology enables the COLOWE twin screw extruder to effectively treat all kinds of renewable materials, help customers meet the mandatory requirements of renewable materials in European markets and open up new market space.
