Parallel Co-Rotating Intermeshing Twin-Screw Extruder

Product Overview

Laboratory Parallel Co-Rotating Twin Screw Extruder for Advanced Polymer Processing

The Laboratory Parallel Co-Rotating Twin Screw Extruder is a high-performance laboratory-scale extrusion system designed for polymer compounding, material development, masterbatch preparation, reactive extrusion, and process optimization. Featuring a modular horizontally split barrel with segmented screw elements, the system provides exceptional flexibility for evaluating material behavior, developing new formulations, and simulating industrial extrusion processes under precisely controlled operating conditions.

Engineered for research, quality control, and pilot-scale production, the extruder enables accurate control of temperature, screw speed, torque, pressure, and feeding parameters to ensure highly reproducible processing results. Its modular barrel configuration, interchangeable screw elements, multiple feeding and venting ports, and integrated heating and cooling zones allow users to optimize mixing, kneading, conveying, devolatilization, and material dispersion for a wide range of thermoplastic materials, engineering polymers, composites, and specialty compounds.

The system supports processing of polymers, elastomers, biodegradable materials, recycled plastics, engineering resins, ceramic compounds, nanocomposites, color masterbatches, functional fillers, and additive formulations. Its flexible design also accommodates liquid injection, gravimetric or volumetric feeding systems, various extrusion dies, downstream accessories, and optional analytical sensors for advanced material characterization and process development.

Ideal for universities, research laboratories, polymer manufacturers, plastics processing industries, masterbatch producers, chemical companies, material development centers, quality-control laboratories, and R&D facilities, the Laboratory Parallel Co-Rotating Twin Screw Extruder provides a reliable platform for compounding studies, process simulation, formulation optimization, small-batch production, and advanced polymer processing applications while delivering consistent, repeatable, and scalable results.
