A small extruder system for development work
This company’s smallest extrusion system is the laboratory roller extruder L-WE 30 (photo). This new extruder size was developed for experimental extrusion tests and is a further addition to the proven modular extruder system, which is used in many industrial sectors. It is also suitable for the development of new processes for food and chemicals, because the parts in contact with the product can be made of stainless steel. With the L-WE 30, the advantages of the planetary roller extruder — absolute temperature control, mixing according to the active ingredient, low-shear thin-film rolling and large surface exchange — can now be applied in material-critical areas. Even very small throughput quantities of only a few hundred grams per hour can be produced. Units with efficient and accurate temperature control up to 430°C are manufactured in-house.
