HORIZONTAL EXTRUDERS
The processing unit of our Twin-Screw Extruders is a clamshell “easy clean” barrel with interchangeable, segmented screws that can be reconfigured to a specific application by selecting various mixing, conveying and shear screw elements.
Additionally, we offer a wide range of Pre/ Post extrusion options :
- Feeders for granules and powder (Gravimetric/Volumetric)
- Feed Dosing
- Liquid and C02 Injection
- Various dies & custom applications
- Metal and Plastic conveyors
- Water-bath
- Fixed and Variable speed pelletizers
- Air Knife
- Custom Ancillaries
We offer 10.5mm and 21mm twin screw extruders in various L/D ratios:
- 10.5mm: 25 and 40D (horizontal); 40D (vertical)
- 21mm: 30D and 40D (horizontal)
The screws are co-rotating, intermeshing, and self-cleaning. All material contact surfaces are EMA & FDA compliant upon request.
Minimum quantities of high value samples can be processed with the unique Microlab 10mm (shown above) which enables time and cost savings in method development, procedure optimization and preparation for scale-up production from our 10mm to our 21mm twin screw extruders.
