Compounding extruder MC Xperience Line

twin screwparallel twin-screwco-rotating twin-screw

Overview
The MC Xperience Line is designed for cost-efficient lab-scale compounding, enabling controlled polymer processing with repeatable results. Available in batch volumes of 5 ml and 15 ml and with torque options up to 20 Nm, the series provides reproducible mixing across a wide range of polymers. Fully intermeshing screws and compact construction support applications such as injection moulding feedstock development, film extrusion and multifilament extrusion. Integrated precise temperature control, a 24-bit motor drive with continuous torque monitoring and optional rheological software facilitate scale-up to larger parallel twin-screw extruders.

Key features

• Batch volumes: 5 ml and 15 ml options
• Torque levels up to 20 Nm (upgrade options available)
• Fully intermeshing screws for thorough mixing and uniform material properties
• Precise temperature control and high maximum process temperatures (see specifications)
• 24-bit motor drive with continuous torque monitoring
• Optional rheological software for upscaling to larger twin-screw extruders
• Designed for R&D and quality control laboratories
• Application focus: injection moulding feedstock development, cast film and multifilament extrusion
