Processes and Compounds Solids and Liquids

The ZE 18 HMI Table Top Extruder from Three-Tec GmbH is a versatile piece of process technology equipment designed for adaptability in pharmaceutical, food, and plastics industries. This co-rotating screw extruder accommodates a range of cooling options, including water, air, and liquid nitrogen, ensuring optimal temperature control and product integrity.

With customizable screw segments, you can tailor it for specific conveying, kneading, mixing, and compacting operations, making it ideal for producing tablet formulations, food flavoring pellets, and polymer pellets. The extruder offers a throughput of up to 10 kg/h, driven by a low-noise servo motor with speeds ranging from 0.1 to 300 min⁻¹, extendable to 1,000 min⁻¹ based on your requirements.

Constructed from stainless steel, the extruder barrel and dies are made to resist corrosion and meet diverse application needs. It integrates seamlessly into automated production lines with PLC control, facilitating precise dosing of solids and liquids. The equipment’s modular design allows for easy customization of L/D ratios and heating zones, ranging from 1 to 12, adapting to varying production scales.

The compact, bench-top form factor is perfect for R&D and pilot-scale operations, while its CIP (Clean-In-Place) compatibility ensures efficient cleaning and minimal downtime. For manufacturers prioritizing precision and flexibility, the ZE 18 HMI Table Top Extruder delivers reliable performance across a spectrum of production challenges.
