Practical Guide to Exhibiting | Compounding Professionals: How to Make the Most of Chinaplas 2026

Introduction

The exhibition is vast, yet it is unclear what to prioritize amidst product homogenization; there is a multitude of equipment and component suppliers, making it difficult to discern genuine technical differences; on-site interactions remain superficial, leaving no basis for post-show decision-making; and there is a desire to find alternative suppliers but a lack of criteria for evaluation.

Action 1: 3 Things to Prepare Before the Exhibition

01. Define your "Equipment or Product Issue Checklist"

· What is the current equipment performance? Does output meet requirements? Can energy consumption per unit of output be reduced?

· What is the equipment's torque factor? Is there a need for an upgrade?

· Is the screw service life shorter than expected?

· Are you encountering issues like black specks, material degradation, or poor dispersion?

02. Bring your "Typical Formulas or Application Scenarios"

· On-site discussions are most effective when focused on specific operating conditions, rather than just asking for general price quotes.

03. Pre-select "3 Types of Suppliers You Must Talk To"

· Equipment manufacturers (to observe trends)

· Core component manufacturers (screws, shafts, barrels)

· New technology providers (e.g., cold-rolled shafts)

Action 2: Three Technical Highlights of This Year’s Exhibition

· Highlight 1: The trend toward high torque (torque density: 13+) — What exactly do high-torque twin-screw extruders deliver?

· Highlight 2: Differences in manufacturing processes for core components — Why do the vast majority of suppliers claim their products are the best?

· Highlight 3: Equipment service life and stability — Key factors for future competitiveness.

Action 3: Quickly assess whether a supplier is reliable

You can ask the following five questions:

Question 1: How do you ensure product consistency across different batches?

Question 2: What are the critical control points from raw materials to finished products?

Question 3: Which stage of the production process is most prone to issues, and how do you prevent them?

Question 4: How do you handle internal analysis and improvement when issues arise at a customer's site?

Question 5: How do you understand the core challenges associated with high-torque or high-load operating conditions?

What solutions can Lixun Screw offer you at the exhibition?

· Screw and mandrel solutions for high-torque models (torque factor: 13+)

· Case studies on extended service life and optimized stability

· Practical application experience with cold-rolled mandrels for twin-screw extruders

· How to break through cutthroat competition and move up the value chain?

Closing Remarks

The true value of an exhibition

lies not in the sheer volume of what you see,

but in whether you find the people and solutions

capable of genuinely solving your problems.

We look forward to a truly valuable exchange with you on-site.
