Measuring extruder for small sample simulation
Optimize your production process with this precise extruder, designed to simulate real-world manufacturing environments without interrupting ongoing operations, delivering accurate measurements for melt pressure, torque, and temperature, even with minimal sample material.
The Brabender Measuring Extruder and Grooved Extruder 19/20 offers robust solutions for continuous extrusion processes across plastics, rubber, food, and wire industries. Equipped with advanced torque measurement and temperature control, this equipment is essential for achieving precision in melting, mixing, and homogenizing applications. The integrated spiral tooth gear clutch with the Brabender drive unit ensures efficient material handling, while the continuous monitoring of melt pressure and temperature aids in maintaining product consistency. Commonly used for producing plastic pellets, rubber sheets, and extruded food products, its versatility supports both R&D and pilot operations. With options for film-blowing die heads and pelletizers, the system seamlessly integrates into existing production lines. Its operational efficiency is complemented by energy-saving features and easy connectivity to remote monitoring systems. Constructed from high-grade materials, it withstands corrosive environments and meets industry standards for longevity and low maintenance, making it an asset in polymer and food processing lines.
