Energy 11 Twin-Screw Extruder

Enabling a continuous and thorough mixing, the Energy 11 Twin-Screw Extruder helps to overcome challenges in battery processing. The fully ported horizontally split barrel allows for flexible feeding of solid and liquid ingredients. The throughput ranges from 50 g/h to 5 kg/h of final product. With the detachable control panel, the extruder can be operated inside a fume-hood or glovebox when necessary. Especially for the requirements in battery application all product contact parts are made from CPM® steel and thus reducing the risk of metal abrasion in the final product. The whole assembly of feedport, barrel, screw and die can be detached with just one tri-clamp connection. Fast cleaning and prevention of cross-contamination is assured by that. Due to its high shear force capability, the Energy 11 Twin-Screw Extruder can significantly reduce solvent during mixing—from typically 60% down to 15%. When scaling to a manufacturing process, this not only saves costs on solvents but also provides potential for big savings during the subsequent drying process, as the drying process will require proportionally less energy.
