These laboratory extruders are ideal for basic research applications, recipe development and small batch production with output rates between 20 and 150 kg/h.

Principle

Research laboratories and compounding companies need to carefully calculate cost in order to cope with the wide range of different tasks. Thanks to consistent focus on cost-effectiveness and their tried and tested quality, KraussMaffei Berstorff laboratory extruders substantially contribute to keeping cost under control. Maximum ease of maintenance and efficient wear protection for barrel and screw elements ensure permanently low maintenance expense.
The ZE 25 UTX and ZE 26 Basic laboratory extruders provide all measuring data relevant to the process and thus enable precise and reliable scale-up to production machine level.

Customer benefits

• The extruder is delivered ready to plug-in and can be easily commissioned within a few hours upon delivery.
• With the C-clamp flange system, changes to the barrel configuration can be performed up to 70% faster, as compared to the conventional bolted flange method.
• Thanks to the Ultra-Glide drive unit, the extruder screws are rapidly moved backwards out of the stationary processing section - even when completely filled with melt.
• Compact displaceable unit with integrated process and temperature control systems
• Reliable high-performance drive unit
