Single-Screw Laboratory Extruders (Modular)

Single-screw extruders are connected to the central unit and used to evaluate material processability, prepare laboratory samples and simulate extrusion processes.

Depending on the screw, die and auxiliary equipment, they can produce strands, strips, sheets and tubing, produce film by flat-die extrusion, or use a capillary die to evaluate viscosity characteristics.

Main Tasks:

• evaluation of material extrudability;
• preparation of laboratory samples;
• testing of raw materials and formulation options;
• operation with flat, tube, capillary and wire-coating dies;
• simulation of individual processing operations.

Applications:

Suitable for polyolefins, PVC, cable compounds, engineering plastics and other thermoplastics. For polyolefins, they are particularly useful for producing film, sheet and tubing, as well as for initial processability evaluation.

Options and Configuration:

• capillary die;
• flat die, 60 x 1.5 mm;
• tube die;
• wire-coating die;
• auxiliary equipment for film, tubing, strands and pelletising.
