5 mm Parallel Twin-Screw Extruder

 

This is the smallest parallel twin-screw extruder in the world.  Ideal for pre-formulation and formulation development;  a 15:1 L/D unit can work with as little as 1 or 2 grams of material.  When you have limited amounts of precious API, this would be the only solution. 

 

The rates can range from 1 to 2 grams to a maximum 600 grams per hour. Of course, depending on your specific needs, we can also supply appropriate feeders.

 

Another advantage is that you can scale up with minimum modifications.

 

Short term rentals are available, please contact us. 

Small Volumetric Feeder

Flat-tray Feeder

Probably the smallest twin-screw feeder in the world! The flat-tray feeder with internal wiper is ideal when dosing powders that are difficult to feed with any other type of feeder. It can work with all kind of powders including non free-flowing powders.

 

Operated by a Siemens controller is shown with a 0.1L hopper. Feeding rates are 0.002 dm3 to 1.5 dm3 per hour (0.002L/h to 1.5L/h). It is available with hopper lid, different hoppers, Vertical Outlet, Purge Gas Option, Dust Proof to 20 mbar and with screw extensions were the controller is away from the hopper.  The feeder hoppers are attached using industry-standard tri-clamp fittings making it very easy to clean them or hot-swap them.
