Mini-compounder for laboratory polymer processing
Developing new polymer formulations or testing small amounts of high-value materials often requires precise control over the compounding process. Challenges include ensuring optimal mixing, minimizing material loss, and speeding up the cleaning process for frequent formulation changes.
Enables efficient small-scale compounding
The Mini-Compounder KETSE 12/36 from Brabender is a highly adaptable and easy-to-use tool designed for laboratory-scale polymer processing. It features a horizontally divided barrel that can be tilted open for easy visual assessment of processing steps, along with quick cleaning capabilities. The barrel length is 36 D, with metering or venting ports available at 6 D, 12 D, and 26 D lengths. Additional side feeders can be installed at a 14 D processing length, enhancing its versatility. This mini-compounder is ideal for a range of applications, providing reliable results with small sample sizes, which makes it a valuable asset in research and development settings.
