Process 11 Extruder
The Thermo Scientific* Process 11 is a parallel co-rotating extruder for research and development in the polymer and food industry.
When developing new polymeric compounds or food formulations, performing time and material intensive experiments on production scale extruders can significantly increase costs and thus put these projects at risk. Using the Process 11 extruder, the small amount of material needed to conduct experiments enables the researcher to carry out an array of trials in a cost and labor effective manner and obtain results that are relevant to production conditions due to the full scalability of the Thermo Scientific process extruder product family.

The Process 11 extruder provides a user-friendly operation via a touch-screen with integrated feeder control and easy removable product contact parts. The compact monocoque design minimizes the usage of lab space and is ideal for fume hood applications. The screw elements and barrel design scale geometrically across the whole portfolio of extruders and thus allow easy process scale-up.


Minimized sample material usage (20g)
Throughput 20 g/h to 2.5 kg/h
Small footprint benchtop design, easily transportable
Segmented screw design with removable top half barrel
Easy-to-operate touchscreen with integrated feeder control
Geomatrically scalable screw and barrel design across portfolio


Environmental Note: A small footprint reduces lab space requirements and lower ingredient consumption reduces environmental contamination and operator exposure.
