China International Plastics Exhibition 2024, Nanjing: hall 5, booth 5C06
The 2024 China International Plastics Exhibition opened 1–3 November at the Nanjing International Expo Center. For Kerke this was the home-region show — booth 5C06 in hall 5, shared with partner GCMT.
Quick answer
Kerke exhibited at the 2024 China International Plastics Exhibition from 1 to 3 November 2024 at the Nanjing International Expo Center, hall 5, booth 5C06, working the stand together with partner GCMT. Nanjing is our own city, so this show doubles as an open factory gate: every visitor who asked about a machine was invited to see it being built and run, ten minutes from the hall.
What was on the stand
What the stand carried:
- The KTE platform end to end. Eleven machine families on one screw geometry — lab units from 15.6 mm, production twin screws to 135 mm, two-stage KTE/SE lines and the KNE kneader for high-viscosity work.
- Wear-package transparency. Bimetallic liners, PM screw elements and liner replacement quoted as line items, because screws and barrels are machined in our own works across town.
- Trial bench invitations. The 3–7 day material trial — 25–50 kg, pellets, video, parameter sheet — offered to every visitor who brought a formulation problem.
Why this market
The Yangtze Delta is the densest compounding cluster in China, and Nanjing sits in the middle of it: filler masterbatch, cable compound and engineering plastics plants within a day's drive of the works. A local show therefore produces a different kind of conversation — visitors can compare the stand presentation with the factory floor on the same trip, and most of the serious ones did.
Booth 5C06 also reconnected us with buyers whose lines have been running for years. Wear parts were the recurring topic: a liner or screw element sourced from the original manufacturer keeps the geometry that was measured at commissioning, which is a quieter argument for in-house machining than any catalogue page.
The questions we answered
| Question | Answer on the stand |
|---|---|
| Can we visit the factory before deciding? | Yes — the works is in Nanjing; machining, gearbox assembly and the material test bench are on one tour. |
| Do you still supply parts for older KTE models? | Yes — elements, shafts and liners for running models stay in production; standard sizes dispatch in 24–48 h. |
| Filler masterbatch at 88% loading — surging? | Tuned in the trial on your material; the measured parameters become the contract baseline. |
| Trial before quotation? | Standard practice: 25–50 kg, 3–7 days, pellets and measured output back with the quotation. |
Visit the works instead
Every machine Kerke sells is built and run in one place: screw elements, shafts and barrels are machined in our Nanjing works, gearboxes are assembled and run in for 24 hours, and every line is tested with material before it ships. If the show was busy, the better meeting is at the factory — send 25–50 kg of your material and we run it on a lab extruder in 3–7 days: pellets, running video, temperatures and output per hour.
