Coperion Donates Food Extruder to Purdue University
Coperion, a Hillenbrand operating company, and Purdue University recently hosted a dedication event at the Purdue Food Science Pilot Lab to commemorate the donation of a Coperion ZSK 27 Mv PLUS Extruder. The donated extruder, valued at more than $900,000 is an addition to Purdue's Food Science Pilot Lab that expands testing capabilities within the alternative protein food category and provides Purdue students with hands-on opportunities.
"Purdue is known for its leading Food Science program, and when looking for a school with strong talent to share our highly-engineered equipment with, Purdue was a natural fit. We are incredibly pleased to have found this partner in our home state of Indiana and look forward to embarking on this partnership with Purdue University and its Food Science Department," says Kim Ryan, president and CEO of Hillenbrand.
