Modular and flexible

Expand your extruder

We offer a flexible platform for the characterization of polymers with our extruders. The extruder serves as a base unit to which various additional add-ons can be modularly added.

This allows the extruder to be optimally adapted to the individual requirements of each application. In its full configuration, the processing behavior can be comprehensively characterized. 

Success Story: Our testing instruments in use

Roundtable: Know-how directly from our lab


Flat Film Unit

  • Flat die 70 / 120 / 150 / 220 / 320 / 420 mm
  • Film width up to 400 mm (greater widths on request)
  • Take-off speed 0–50 m/min
  • Take-off roll diameter max. 600 mm
  • Infinitely adjustable height setting
  • Controllable shaft for coreless winding

Filter Measuring Head

  • Reduced downtime through preheating of the subsequent filters
  • Measurement in accordance with DIN EN 13900-5
  • Fast filter change without stopping the extruder and melt pump
  • Analysis of purity and homogeneity
  • Quantitative determination of the concentration of contaminants and viscosity inhomogeneities affecting quality
  • Multi-layer, replaceable filter discs
  • Operation at constant rotational speed (shear rate)
  • Compact design

Continuous Output Measurement

  • The melt strand is guided to the outside through a deflection head or an MBR rheometer measuring head
  • Below the capillary, the strand enters a collecting container positioned on a balance
  • The balance continuously determines the weight and transmits it at precise time intervals to the evaluation software
  • Extension of the operating program for connection of a laboratory balance
  • Supplied with collecting container and connection cable from the balance to the EXTRUSIOMETER

RHEOTENS

  • Infinitely variable speed
  • Free selection between linear and exponential acceleration
  • Setting, steering of measuring process and test analysis with Windows Program RHEOTENS 97
  • Different pull-off wheels – to be specified depending on usage
  • Tandem pull-off wheels
  • Already existing RHEOTENS machines can be upgraded with new electronic box as well as “RHEOTENS 97”

Die Swell Measurement

  • Determination of dynamic and static die swell
  • Analysis of threshold profile (BASELL Method)
  • Swivel with infinitely variable hight setting
  • Laser measuring head in 0.1μm or 7μm edition
  • Optional with automatic melt cutting device
  • Application: Simulation of Material-Threshold behavior during injection molding

Strand Winder

  • Winding of the cooled melt strand
  • Force- and speed-controlled drive
  • Guidance via cooling bath and deflection roller
  • Rubber/stainless steel rollers for reliable transfer
  • Automatic full signal with shutdown

Online-Sampling

  • System suitable for conveying granulate, grit, and powder
  • Adjustment of conveying rate depending on the application
  • Long distances achievable by using signal amplifiers
  • Conveying medium (carrier substance): air, nitrogen, …
  • No electrostatic charging of the material
  • Fast material change by sampler emptying down to the extruder screw
  • Reliable prevention of material bridging
  • Reference material feeding
  • Automatic cleaning functions (selfcleaning, …)
  • Automatic waste handling
  • Sampler available in Ex or non-Ex version

Deflection Head

  • 90° melt diverting head with spacer and die nut
  • Connection at the barrel end, e.g., for continuous melt elongation measurement
  • Can be equipped with various dies
  • Bores for a pressure transducer and a melt temperature sensor

Cooling Bath

  • Water bath for cooling an extruded strand
