Maximum flexibility for analysis in the areas of material development and research
The co-rotating Twin Screw Extruder TSE 20/40, with its low output rates of 0.5 to 10 kg/hour and hinged cylinder has been specially designed for research and development applications. 
Carry out tests at lab scale with just a small amount of material. Furthermore, the hinged cylinder offers the ideal opportunity to analyse the screw configuration and the resulting material load.
The solution is used in combination with the Lab-Station or Lab-Station EC drives. This configuration is especially recommended as a scalable system.
As the measurement heads are interchangeable, if required you can connect a Single Screw Extruder 19/25 and/or a mixer, such as the Planetary Mixer P 600.
 
  • Modular measuring extruder unit
  • Six dosing options along the process area
  • Hinged cylinder
  • Patented liner removal: easy to clean
  • Screw elements can be combined individually

    Principle

    The sample is inserted and then extruded by the twin-screw extruder. During the analysis, sensors and controllers measure relevant values, such as temperature and pressure. You are presented with clear values that you can use to form a correlation between the process and the product.
