Extruders

The Energy 11 Twin-Screw Extruder can be set up for a wide range of applications encountered in current battery R&D. The fully ported, horizontally split barrel allows for flexible feeding of solid and liquid ingredients. Interchangeable die designs adapt to a range of materials from dry granules, polymeric solid-state electrolytes, and electrode films to wet slurries. Eight precisely controlled temperature zones along the barrel ensure flexibility in processing.

The Thermo Scientific™ HAAKE PolyLab OS is a state-of-the-art measuring mixer and extruder system that is focused on the specific needs in research and development. The HAAKE PolyLab OS provides you with process-relevant material data including: Melting behavior, influence of additives, temperature stability, shear stability and melt viscosity. Furthermore, this measuring mixer and extruder system supports you in process modelling activities such as: Compounding polymers with additives to reduce flammability, viscosity, etc., scale-up extrusion processes by using different L/D ratios to extrapolate to your master process line, simulating master processes using only as little as 50g of material to optimize extrusion or mixing in respect to temperature and shear profile or extrusion of strands, profiles or films in combination with rheological or optical measurements.

HAAKE™ Rheomix QC Lab Mixers for the HAAKE™ PolyLab QC System torque rheometer platform are focused on batch testing of many highly viscous substances.

Rapidly develop pharmaceutical formulations and adopt continuous processing methods using the Thermo Scientific™ Pharma 16 Twin-Screw Extruder.  The Pharma 16 Twin-Screw Extruder can switch between continuous hot melt extrusion (HME) or wet granulation (TSG) with ease. Optimize drug process development parameters with less time and effort than batch processes and easily scale-up to larger Thermo Scientific™ extruders with using minimal amounts of expensive APIs and excipients.
