September 10th,Beijing University of Chemical Technology Nanjing Keya EquipmentJointly initiated and establishedPolymer Blending Modification Equipment Joint R&D CenterThe production workshop of Nanjing Koya has been officially inaugurated!

Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) and Koya have a deep-rooted partnership. As a domestic "Double First-Class" university, BUCT has trained a large number of high-level research and technical talents in the chemical engineering field. The founder of Koya, Mr. Liu Guangzhi, along with several core team members, are graduates of BUCT. Koya's ability to continuously lead the industry in the field of blending and modified extrusion equipment is inseparable from the long-term support in talent and technology provided by BUCT. In recent years, the two sides have maintained a close multi-level cooperation, including in-depth exchanges with Yinglan Laboratory in 2021 and the establishment of the "China Plastics Machinery - Koya Guangzhi Scholarship" at BUCT in 2023.

Chairwoman Liu Qinghua of Koya Equipment and Professor He Yadong from Beijing University of Chemical Technology jointly unveiled the R&D Center.

In the process of polymer synthesis,Devolatilization is the most important unit operation after polymerization reactions.Through thermodynamic analysis, assess the feasibility of volatilization removal, and clarify the impact of parameters such as temperature, pressure, and equipment structure on removal efficiency based on kinetics. Select volatilization equipment reasonably according to the material properties and viscosity, and design a multi-stage volatilization section to accurately control the temperature, pressure, and viscosity distribution along the way, in order to prevent degradation and ensure product quality.

The process is closely related to the properties of polymers: the effect directly influences the purity and performance of the product, while the thermal stability and rheological behavior of the polymer also constrain the operational boundaries of the process.Efficient devolatilization is therefore a key step in obtaining high-performance, high-value-added polymer materials.

With the increasing demand for high-purity and high-performance polymers, devolatilization technology inHigh-end resin, energy storage battery separator, pharmaceutical polymer materialsThe applications in fields such as these are continuously expanding, with significant market potential. However, the current stripping process still faces many challenges, such as low mass transfer efficiency in high-viscosity systems, incomplete removal of volatile components, degradation risks for heat-sensitive materials, and high energy consumption.

To address these challenges,Beijing University of Chemical Technology & Koya Joint Research CenterFocusing on screw processing technology and addressing the upgrading needs of the materials modification industry, the research and development center will focus on.Research on Theory and Technology of Continuous Devolatilizationand further expand toNew energy batteries, pharmaceuticalsIn the high-value-added field of contouring, provide key technological support for enterprise transformation and upgrading. Through the development of advanced, efficient, and green complete processing technologies, achieve the high-performance of polymer materials.High performance, lightweight, and high added value，Deep integrationScientific research and industrialization drive technological advancement and innovative development in the plastic machinery industry.

Koya Laboratory

Koya Laboratory currently has three high-performance experimental devices—HK26, HK36, and SK53The entire process demand is covered, ranging from 2kg/h pilot experiments to 300kg/h small-scale production, and is widely used in material modification research in various industries such as plastics, rubber, pharmaceuticals, food, and feed.

We have provided customers with over a hundred process testing services.Significantly improve customer material processing efficiency and formulation reliability.

With the establishment of the research and development center, the laboratory will undergo a new round of equipment upgrades, building a more complete system.Research-Validation-Transformation Integrated Platform。

At the same time,Koya will further open up its laboratory resources.We sincerely invite industry partners, clients, and friends from all sectors to attend and engage in exchanges, jointly exploring process optimization and new application areas.

In the future, through the model of collaboration between universities and enterprises, the "Polymer Blending and Modification Equipment Joint R&D Center" is committed to breaking down the barriers between research and the market. It aims to achieve a seamless transition of technological solutions from the laboratory to the production line, injecting new momentum into the upgrading of China's polymer materials industry.
