Laboratory extruders for feasibility studies and r&d

Optimize your testing with laboratory extruders designed for precise material handling, offering advanced temperature and pressure control to enhance R&D outcomes.

Forms and Tests Small Batch Extrusions

The laboratory extruders from The Bonnot Company address the specific needs of research and development environments by providing precise control over material extrusion. These CE-compliant units utilize the company’s proprietary twin packer technology to ensure positive material ingestion. Tailored for multiple applications, they are equipped for temperature control and pressure monitoring, making them ideal for handling diverse materials such as bulk molding compounds, carbon, and food. With outputs ranging from 5 to 150 pounds per hour, these extruders are versatile for bench-top and pilot-scale operations. Each model, from the 1 Series to the 2 Series, integrates seamlessly into existing production lines with optional touchscreen controls, high torque gear motors, and quick-release connections for efficient maintenance. Housed in stainless steel, these extruders ensure durability and chemical resistance, meeting rigorous testing protocols across industries like chemical processing, food manufacturing, and polymer development. Optional features provide customization and data collection capabilities, supporting complex research projects and scale-up processes.
