Experimental Extruder
A experimental extruder, also known as a lab extruder, lab twin-screw extruder, or small-scale extrusion machine, is specialized equipment designed for research, material testing, formulation development, and small-batch production. It is widely used in polymer research labs, universities, material R&D centers, compounding laboratories, and pilot-scale manufacturing lines. With precise temperature control, flexible screw configurations, and low material consumption, the experimental extruder is ideal for developing new plastics, masterbatch formulations, additives, biodegradable materials, and engineering polymers.
The lab extruder simulates industrial-scale extrusion processes on a smaller, controlled platform. It allows researchers to evaluate melt behavior, dispersion, mixing quality, color matching, rheology, and polymer reaction performance, helping manufacturers shorten development cycles and accelerate product innovation.
Applications of the Laboratory Extruder
Polymer Formulation Research: PP, PE, ABS, TPU, PA, PC, PET, PLA.
Masterbatch Development: color masterbatch, filler masterbatch, additive concentrates.
Biodegradable Material Testing: PLA, PBAT, PHA, starch-based blends.
Engineering Plastic Compounding: high-performance materials, flame-retardant systems.
Additives & Chemicals: stabilizers, modifiers, compatibilizers, composite materials.
University & R&D Labs: teaching, testing, and process simulation.
