Plast Eurasia Istanbul 2024: hall 12, stand 1206C
Kerke's first year at Plast Eurasia Istanbul ran 4–7 December 2024 at Tüyap. Hall 12, stand 1206C, with the KTE-T triple screw series headlining the stand — and the reason we came back in 2025.
Quick answer
Kerke exhibited at Plast Eurasia Istanbul 2024 from 4 to 7 December 2024 at the Tüyap Fair Convention and Congress Center, hall 12, stand 1206C. It was our first year at the show, and the invitation carried the machine we most wanted this audience to meet: the KTE-T series co-rotating triple screw extruder.
What was on the stand
Two things anchored stand 1206C:
- KTE-T triple screw series. Three co-rotating screws in one process section — more split-and-fold events per metre for dispersion-limited masterbatch and black concentrates, where a twin screw needs a longer L/D to reach the same colour strength.
- Two-stage recycling lines. KTE/SE and the SE two-stage family for PET and PE/PP flake, aimed squarely at the Turkish recycling base: vacuum venting, low-shear finishing screw, IV retention measured in the trial.
Wear parts and the 24–48 h spares dispatch promise completed the pitch — the same argument that carried the 2025 follow-up show a year later.
Why this market
Istanbul sits between three continents, and Tüyap in December fills with buyers from Türkiye, Central Asia, the Gulf, North Africa and Europe in a single building. For a machine builder it is the most efficient four days of the year: one stand, five regions of follow-up.
The 2024 edition was a scouting trip that turned into a decision. The quality of the meetings — recyclers comparing IV retention figures, compounders asking about wear packages by name — convinced us to return in 2025 with a larger presence, which we did on booth 1224B.
The questions we answered
| Question | Answer on the stand |
|---|---|
| Triple screw — when does it beat a twin screw? | Dispersion-limited products: deep blacks, high-loading colour concentrates; the extra screw adds split-and-fold events without extending the barrel. |
| PET flake to pellet — how much IV is kept? | Measured in the trial on your flake; published two-stage projects hold IV 0.6–0.79. |
| Do you supply wear parts for non-Kerke lines? | Yes — elements, shafts and liners machined to drawing from the old part. |
| Can we see the KTE-T run before ordering? | Send material for the 3–7 day lab trial, or attend a FAT at the Nanjing works before shipment. |
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.
