Polymer extrusion testing extruder

Optimize your polymer and plastic production with precise extrusion testing, simulating real-world manufacturing conditions to enhance material consistency and quality.

Measures and Simulates Polymer and Material Extrusion

The Brabender Extruder/Extrusiograph models 30/25 and 30/32 are electrically heated measuring units driven by a torque rheometer, designed to effectively simulate and measure the extrusion process of polymers and other materials. This equipment is ideal for polymer manufacturers, research laboratories, and R&D departments, providing precise insights into the extrudability of materials like polyethylene film, polypropylene sheets, and synthetic rubber compounds. Known for its application in producing pasta extrusions and animal feed pellets, these extruders enable researchers to optimize formulations under practice-oriented conditions. Capable of operation on a laboratory scale, it supports various processes such as extrusion, testing, measurement, and simulation. With compatibility across different materials, this system facilitates continuous manual operation while recording essential parameters for evaluation, making it an indispensable tool in polymer and material testing industries.
