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.
